Because corporate taxes are easily avoidable by moving your HQ to a mailbox abroad or reporting money as foreign profits. The higher the corporate tax rate, the more companies move abroad, the fewer taxes we bring in. It’s a dumb tax — like if we taxed tacos but not fajitas. What makes more sense? Tax people, such as…

Exactly! I’ve never understood why we’d be so eager to give our government money out of an estate. The notion that it’s socially responsible is a fallacy until our government actually spends responsibly. Brewster’s millions are being routed straight to poor communities.

Most (99.5 percent) of us will never pay estate tax

Whereas for the last few years, you were dependent on other people funding your birth control. Now, you share a bit more of the cost.

Two things - 1) if a flight starts to fill up the remaining seats start to become more expensive. 2) if just price hunting, do NOT log in to their site when you do it. They track that and will know that you have looked at that flight and may jack up the price to make you think it is going to keep going so you better…

I love Canadian fans who are too dumb to understand why there isn’t another Ontario based team. Spoiler alert, it isn’t the league with the problem, it’s the Leafs. There is no question that a SE Ontario team would be a huge windfall for the league, but with the stupid territorial restrictions, the Leafs and Sabres…

I KNOW. Are those guys even wearing protective gear AT ALL??? Player safety has grown by leaps and bounds since then.

I’m an Islanders fan, and I no one can tell me that the Nassau Coliseum wasn’t the best damn place to watch a playoff hockey game in the known universe. I say this only to say that that’s what the Nashville crowd reminds me of, and it makes my heart happy.

I am a long-time professional acquaintance of a guy in Nashville who never saw a hockey game in his life until the Preds showed up. On a whim, he bought 4 season tickets because he thought he could flip the big name teams. He went to the first game and has become, easily, the most psychotic hockey fan I’ve ever met…

PBS receives approximately 12% of its funding from the federal government.

So, you mean, immoral greedy fucks that just watch the PBS broadcasting without donating to it...? Oh, you are considering everyone else’s tax dollars as your donation... Got it.

Other people should be forced to fund something you enjoy?

Why don’t you and the people who enjoy it fund it? Either through advertisements or their shitty fund raisers?

I’m not entirely clear why there’s a need for government funded television anymore. What makes any of their programming different than what any other station can provide? There’s no reason those shows can’t be on other channels and vice-versa. In fact, some are.

It absolutely should be defunded. While they do produce some quality programming, they are far from the only ones. Why spend taxpayer dollars on this when there is so much quality programming out there? What’s the point?

What countries are you referring to that do not have firearms? Contrary to the myth London bobbies carry H&K semi-auto rifles. I don’t recall ever seeing cops in China with guns, but then their justice system, while efficient, doesn’t meet the human rights tests.

What if the person with the gun is maybe going to shoot a civilian? Should the police wait until the shooter shoots in that case? Or what if the shooter might shoot at a cop but if he or she misses then the bullet could hit a school or a home located behind the police officers? What if the bullet might hit a car…

Most police already are supposed to follow what is commonly referred to as a use of force continuum. The basic idea is that they are supposed to use the necessary amount of force to end a situation with minimal risk to themselves and others. This doesn’t necessarily mean a minimal amount of force. That’s an important…

Yeah, thats dumb as shit.

Strange, he was shot by a police officer immediately after he turned around and fired shots at that police officer...

It appears that the suspect pulled a gun out of his bag and aimed it at the police before he was justifiably shot.
