There’s no appetite for that, I think you’d have trouble with something like that even with super-majorities. They are more likely to use shell games, like the stimulus was a big shell game, promise green jobs but it really was a state bailout program. The auto bailouts weren’t really bail-outs for the automakers, they were union bailouts.

I’m more worried ab things that don’t make headlines. I am also worried ab just the general sentiment amongst people who are middle class and by all accounts should be okay with their situation (I could understand fear/disatisfaction if you don’t have a job but alot of these ppl have jobs) but feel like rich people or the govt owe them something. I think that just makes you a completely worthless person. If you want to complain on behalf of the /real/ impoverished, ok. If you want to complain bc you feel like x/y/z actions by the govt have resulted in you not having a job, ok I’d at least hear your argument. But to claim you should get a piece of some rich guy’s money just bc you are alive makes me incredulous. What right do you have to some guy’s money? That mentality makes me crazy.

will kill many derivative transactions. The truth is that they have wanted to do this for a long time and it is simply because they don’t understand derivatives and well as most of the public. Fortunately, it is easy to explain. I trade mini-Dow futures contracts which are a derivative of the Dow Industrial Index. The notional value of the contract is $50,000. Most trades of futures contracts are conducted by speculators like myself, approx. 60-70%, with the rest being hedgers or people looking to buy or sell to protect themselves from the risk of price movements. What we speculators do is provide liquidity and we do this by trying to buy on the bid and sell on the offer. The difference between the bid and offer is a called a tick and the tick value for my contract is $5. The mistake the transactional tax advocates make is to use the notional value of the contract as a basis for their tax when it is meaningless for speculators who are only trying to make one to a few ticks at a time. A number I have heard passed around is a 0.05% tax. Seems pretty small. Well the that tax on the $50,000 notional value of the contract would equal $50,000*0.0005 = $25/transaction. If I am only making $5-$15 per transaction then a $25 tax would put me out of business. And if their are no speculators then the hedgers don’t have anyone to take the risk of the contracts they are buying and selling. Hence, no market. Which is probably their goal.

If the Gop were to pass a national RTW law, it would severely limit the unions ability to force the payment of dues, and thereby having the result of starving the Dem’s of campaign cash.

Not only is it not right to force people to pay dues, but the unions, via Dem support, is forcing their employees to contribute to the Dem’s through their dues.

LUR – the “demand the outrageous with an actual goal in mind” tactic isn’t restricted to the unions. I’ve long argued that the tactic has been used by Democrats against the GOP for decades to advance their socialist agenda. Pick any federal program designed to provide something to someone, look at its modest, original goals and then compare those goals to where the programs are today.
 
The GOP is, paraphrasing you, always played by better tacticians and negotiators from the Left. Using a football field analogy; the Democrats approach every negotiation demanding a touchdown. The idiots in the GOP think they’ve won when they negotiate to allow the Democrats to only advance to mid-field when they should have never let the Democrats on the field in the first place.
 
In subsequent negotiations the Democrats, being on the 50 yard line, again demand a touchdown. The GOP of course scoffs and negotiates to allow the Democrats to reach the 25 yard line. Now the members of the stupid party once again think that they have won while the Democrats quietly celebrate the fact that they are now 75% of the way toward their goal. Following their strategy of incrementalism it only takes the Democrats a few more years, or even decades, to reach the end zone for the touchdown. They almost never lose yardage to the GOP and have thus successfully advanced the socialist agenda for almost 100 years.

Well we’ll just have to fix that in a hurry. Rest easy Karen Higgins, while the billionaires hide theirs we’ll tax those who can’t hide. There’s always a cow to be milked and a parasite to be fed.
Make that, demanding to be fed.

I managed to infiltrate Anonymous to a leadership level briefly, before they found out I was a Conservative.

Oh they act like it is spontaneous but there is a means to push the collective that they use, or ten such means if you will.

First step is follow some of the money. Most anon types will put up free sites, but when one gets a server off hand… students with cameras are common, but if somehow one has an beyond exceptional system follow the money.

Using a system of peer pressure, percieved antagonism from a supposed enemy, forced indignation about a supposed wrong they keep the looser masses on target.

Periodically they go after pedophiles or cults or such to ‘keep it real’ in a manner that reaffirms that they do ‘gonot do real stuff’

Then there are the lulz. These kids are impatient. They want fun now. Take the lulz away and they will go away. Ofc I have a means to take the lulz away, just no system to implement it.

You know they are close to breaking up when they start having the more impatient ones start vandalizing or committing violence.

So those who think this will go on… the kids are running out of lulz for this project and will soon start distancing away from it regardless of how their handlers want it to go.

Pay attention to the next week… you can identify the handlers if you are careful in your observation. They will stand out as they try to keep the group on target.

If you sell a stock too quickly, you pay tax on it as income at the highest marginal rate for your bracket. If you hold it more than a year, it is taxed as capital gains. The difference can be enormous – 30+% vs. 15%.

The Unions are making the union and non-union workers slaves to the world. A tax is apportioned on a slave (taxpayer) to its master (Government). That tax is used today to pay for the entitlement programs nationally and globally.

Globally through Foreign Financial Aid we are forced into supporting the global poor (even though this goes to the despots and the poor never see aid) and this is slavery.

We are fast becoming slaves to the world.

We need this stopped.

all countries unite as one planet with one political system composed of one party only coupled with a monetary system controlled by the United Nations or some new entity that they design. Hell no!

Say no to the dream and anything tied to unions and these internationalists who want to subvert the constitution towards creating a new world order. Such a tax would fund the next big thing.
