Seemed to work for Trump voters... oh wait!

Also other states got rid of drug tests for recipients because it cost more than it saved.
 
I work for Tyson Foods. I've noticed that our team member entrance is a revolving door. How appropriate.

Basically, as long as I show up, work safe, work clean... I'll have job security for the next 30 years.

You'll also be promoted every couple years for the same reason privates became generals during WW1. :-)

Just heard from a Trumper I know. On the tax cut he said, "I never got a job from a poor person". He's perpetually unemployed (uses unemployment insurance, etc.) and I have been employed since I graduated from High School.

Like I said, I don't get these people.

Well you see rich job creators create them out of the goodness of their heart and he decides not to take them.

House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) said Wednesday that congressional Republicans will aim next year to reduce spending on both federal health care and anti-poverty programs, citing the need to reduce America’s deficit.

“We’re going to have to get back next year at entitlement reform, which is how you tackle the debt and the deficit,” Ryan said during an appearance on Ross Kaminsky’s talk radio show. “… Frankly, it’s the health care entitlements that are the big drivers of our debt, so we spend more time on the health care entitlements – because that’s really where the problem lies, fiscally speaking.”

Ryan said that he believes he has begun convincing President Trump in their private conversations about the need to rein in Medicare, the federal health program that primarily insures the elderly.

Kill the kids (end CHIP), kill the elderly (cut/end Medicare). Death panels! Works for me.

At least the GOP is finally not even hiding anymore. This has been what they have wanted since we expanded social programs in the first place. They hid behind so many lies for so long, but finally they are so confident that they are telling a measure of the truth.

If the voters don't destroy them they get what they deserve.

Competing tax plans using Roger Goodell's $40,000,000 annual salary as the base.

The Green Option:
40,000,000 - 50,000 (locality index est) = $39,950,000 taxable income

Tax on 1st million at 15% = $150,000
Tax on next $9 million @ 25% = $2,250,000
tax on remainder @ 35% = $10,482,500

Total federal tax bill = $12,882,500
or an effective rate of 32.2%

The Red Option:

Tax on 1st million at 15% = $150,000
Tax on next $9 million @ 45% = $4,050,000
Tax on remaining 29,950,00 @ 75% = $16,846,875

Total federal tax bill on $40,000,000 = $21,046,875, an effective rate of 52.6%

Green (me) wants revenue and does not want the taxpayer to try and hide stuff.

IMO, Red (Kep) is punitive.

I want the plan to be revenue neutral or slightly + to the current plan. If the government gets a big influx of cash, they'll spend it (unwisely).

Red is not punitive. Red isn't even Eisenhower-era rates.

Poor Roger, how ever will he feed and house his family on a measly $21 million/yr earned from a job that mostly amounts to shaking hands with a lot of other wealthy people? But he's a job creator! :rolleyes:

The Code prior to the 86 reforms had more dodges in it so very very few paid the top rate. There was income (5 yr) averaging and much larger interest deduction to name a few.

By minimizing deductions, you should raise taxable income and a rate > 50% should not be needed.

Couple years? Every three months at this rate. Our retention goal is 35% for the fiscal year and we're scraping that at 32.4.

This blows we away. The annual retention rate for my program (let alone my company) has been > 95% for over 25 years. Of 50 FTE we have 12 who have been here > 20 years. I'm at 12 years and am regarded as a newbie.

Of the people I started work with who are no longer here, about 20% left because they died.

This is, I gather, a very weird arrangement by contemporary standards.

Today’s tax cuts have no bipartisan support. They have no intellectual grounding, no body of supporting evidence. They do not respond to the central crisis of our time. They have no vision of the common good, except that Republican donors should get more money and Democratic donors should have less.

The rot afflicting the G.O.P. is comprehensive — moral, intellectual, political and reputational. More and more former Republicans wake up every day and realize: “I’m homeless. I’m politically homeless.”

Buckley called bullsh-t on these people right from the start. He was persona non grata among the knucks for the last decade of his life (he died in 2008). He loathed them.
