"We want everything!"



Everything?

Wait?

What does that mean?







Lordy!

[Kierland]

Her head on a pike.

[Screw_Michigan]

Tax cuts for the rich and billionaires---nothing from the unwashed conservative masses.

Nancy says she wants $2000 for Americans in a pandemic---conservatives are outraged.

America in a nutshell.

$2,000 stimulus checks would be good, but should only go to those who really need it.

I got a reduced amount the first time and donated all of it.

Fuck that shit. UBI for everyone. 12 a year base, 6k for dependents up to 4 kids because fuck the Duggars. Have the Standard deduction match the UBI. You pay taxes on the rest. Then reduce the minimum wage to 8 dollars an hour, no state minimum. That way a single person working a 40 hour a week McJob makes 30k before taxes.

Business can now hire more, Fed can go back to a stronger dollar policy because they can raise rates. Which means imports cost less.

And when we have a crisis like this, people who lose their job will already have a base of 12 so normal unemployment will allow them to keep afloat until they can get work again.

Fuck that shit. Maybe works in the long run and definitely worth a try. When do you think this could start?

I’m talking about a stimulus payment going out in the short term. Completely different animal.

[BSmack]

Stimulus payments are a joke. We need survival payments. The weapon that the Republicans use every single time is that some undeserving person might get too much money. I say break the whole freaking paridgdim.

[Softball Bat]

McConnell's home was also hit.







Where's my money?

I guess.

Might need some of Dinsdale's luv. :)

Read above. BSmack wants the rest of us to work hard in order to purchase... the above.

Think of it as a tax cut.

[Dinsdale]

Think of it as a reason to not even bother going to school.

You apparently didn’t read what I wrote. But go ahead and base your argument on semantics. It makes you look so intelligent and woke.

BTW, “survival” payments to those who are jobless and / or broke ARE stimulus payments, because the money goes straight back into the economy.

And WTF is a paridgdim?

[Mikey]

School is wasted on a lot of people.

[Kierland]

Think of it as corporate welfare and maybe that will make you feel better you orange dick sucking klepto.

[smackaholic]

B, care to explain where all this free money will come from?

The rich will sit on their money rather than risk it if the tax rates are too high.

Countries have tried it. Many of the Euros did after WWII with catastrophic results.

I agree with Mikey about the stimulus checks.

They should go to those in need.

Assistance to any businesses should be in the form of long term loans. No free money. Because free obey inevitably ends up in the hands of those clever enough to work the system, not those most in need.

If fraudsters want to figure out ways to borrow cheap money, have at it.

I admire his generosity with his Coronabucks. Just hope he gave it to a worthy charity.

It comes from the kleptos who stole it. Or we can just break out the pitchforks. Your choice.

[Left Seater]

Lots going on in this thread and some of it makes sense. Of course not anything out of Screwy's is valid or true, but everyone knows that. Poor Screwy

As Mikey said, $2000 payments should be going out, but on a much smaller scale than before. As he said he donated his, and props to him for that. But why should the rest of us pay for Mikey's donation? Why did airlines get payments that funded their wage costs for almost a year, but only required the airlines to keep employees in place for 3 months?

On the UBI front, I haven't seen that proposed with a reduction in the minimum wage. I could get behind a UBI with a reduced minimum wage. However, I would like the option for my payments to go into a fund that reduces my tax burden on April 15th. I elect not to take it and then get a $24K credit on the Seater's return. So if my tax bill would be $30K in April, then I reduce it by $24K and send the Feds only $6K.

As for your survival payments BS, why don't you turn to your state? Why should I fund your state's questionable decisions to shutter their economy when it has done next to nothing to eliminate the spread of the Covid?

Agreed. But if past behavior is any indication it's likely the GOP that insisted on the 3 month limit in the airline bailout.

Straight up question for you....

Should a person working 40 hours a week be paid more than a poverty wage?

Keeping people at home is exactly how to stop the spread, as well as mask mandates (otherwise you're going to have to explain why so many GOP folks are getting infected but not Dems). And just because a state has stay-at-home orders doesn't mean that everyone is complying nor is the law being enforced. I'm seeing lots of chiefs of police & sheriffs vowing to not enforce said orders.

So you don't know but are happy to put this on your political opponents. Why? There is history both ways. Remember well have to pass it to see what's in it? Just say it was rushed and messy and leave it at that.

Should a person working 40 hours a week be paid more than a poverty wage?

Why do you use a term like poverty wage? Why not ask your question with a specific dollar figure instead. As asked I can't answer that question. Give me an actual number and I will be happy to answer that question.

Please by all means hook us up to infection rates by political affiliation or leaning. Further, nice dodge on the question. Eliminating the spread wasn't being discussed. The economic fallout / aid of said elimination of spread was and you completely ignored that and attacked your strawman.

Left Traitor is at it again. Fuck you Benedick Arnold.

Yes, it is.



Did Pelosi's house have a security system, with security cameras?
