So now we have federal agents concocting bogus criminal charges on American citizens to shield and soothe the ego of the babyman President.

Unacceptable.

Trump says they are there to prevent vandalism
They are there to stop visitors from taking souvenirs

You don’t actually believe that injecting 15 days worth of us oil production dropped the price of gas 2 dollars a gallon do you?

Average price dropped from $5.02 to $3.10 from June/2022 to December/2022. Feel free to make up your excuses here -->

They fill the reflecting pool with gasoline now?

13 cents only. The rest was a combo of repaired refineries and market forces. Biden didn’t do anything but promise to end fossil fuels. These TDSers are seriously uninformed.

Another myth from the Supply Side folks

You don’t invest and hire more people because you have more money. You invest because the market has grown and there is more product that can be sold.

If you sell 10,000 widgets a year, you don’t produce more widgets because you have more money to spend.
Your produce more because there is now a market to buy 15,000 widgets

B.S. you can invest for needed things to grow your business so you can gain more Market share. Your example assumes there is a decling Market.

That would certainly be different.

On an extremely limited basis, this may be true, however you can't cut that many jobs because the amount of work you can do is finite. But this doesn't really have much to do with tax rates. Tax rates don't affect the income to a business. They only affect your take home pay.

Raising taxes on small business has the same affect as cutting their profits and thus the owner's income. Yeah owners will cut employees and work more hours themselves so they can put food on their own tables.

Sure, buddy. That's a fine opinion you have there, but it doesn't have any real rationale or data to support it.

The fact that you need examples of government bloat, mishandling of tax dollars and corruption says it all.

******* hilarious considering you're asking future generations to deal with the consequences of your irresponsible actions.

The irresponsible actions are largely by Democrats who continue to believe in a free lunch. Now the Socialists are taking over your party and many ignorant Democrtas will follow right along.

Gee whizz.........that's what I told you the other day.

Now we have a second opinion.

Now we have a second opinion.

When they were doing it my first thought was wondering if they etched the concrete.

Still it's not as big a deal. You don't find out if you have problems until you fill it.

The criminal President is calling for 10 years in prison for the vandals.

Freak.

Will be interesting to see the evidence of the cases that are not dropped.

Raising taxes on small business owners really just means applying the same tax rates everyone else pays, so don’t pretend as though they’re being punished.

But again, the effect is marginal in the large scale. Business owners can only work so many hours and moreover they’re accepting the hourly wages of the employee their replacing.

I get your idea, but it’s just not logically a huge concern.

You misunderstand what I’m taking issue with. Your claim is that higher tax rates lead to larger bloat and mishandling of tax dollars. I don’t think there’s a real connection. One could hypothesize the opposite. If a populace is required to pay higher taxes, perhaps they’d be more demanding that those tax dollars be put to good use. Low tax rates might engender more passive attitude to government spending. After all, they’re not being asked to pay for it.

The irresponsible actions are largely by Democrats who continue to believe in a free lunch. Now the Socialists are taking over your party and many ignorant Democrtas will follow right along.

The free lunch is thinking that tax cuts “pay for themselves”. These tax cuts have dramatically increased deficits and debt without providing any serious tangible benefit.
