Did you ever hear of your source? Nor has anyone else. It is not a respected news site. It is simply a website that that suddenly sprung up Sept 6, 2016. A number of Republican propaganda sites sprung up to push the Republican tax scam. Anyone can set up a web site.
The first lie is that it doubled the standard deduction it did not the standard deduction was $6,350 doubled it would have been $12,700 but it only went to $12,000 in 2018. Why lie? Why not say it was going up by $5,650? Because the lie sounds like it is so much more.
The second lie is that it keeps the seven tax rates and lowers them. It does not say that primary tax rate, the first tax bracket that everyone pays was not lowered.
Paul Ryan fired the House Chaplin because he opposed the Republican Tax scam. The Chaplin served seven years but when he gave a speech saying that the Republican tax scam should have all winners instead of winners and losers it upset the Republicans.
Paul Ryan was so proud when he found out that a secretary at a public high school got whole $1.50 a week tax cut from republican tax scam and said she could completely pay for her Costco membership that he posted on twitter.
Imagine how ungrateful people can be when they got a whole $1.50 and Trump got a $100 million. The election is coming soon and pay back will be hell.
A Monmouth University poll showed that 50% of the American people believe they will pay higher taxes under the Republican Tax scam and they are not far wrong.
When you have several out of town contractors who swindled the city out of a quarter of million dollars it is hardly a trivial matter. That kind of losses will bankrupt a city quickly. Can you imagine a football game with no referees? Without rules the game would not be possible. The contractor’s law was passed in 1991 because construction was pretty much an underground economy that had a number of criminals who worked in the field. When you pay $10,000 for a new roof and the criminal takes off with your money it is not trivial. I got a call from attorney from Texas who was representing a out of town contractor I shut down. He wanted to know what we could do about $1,000 in tickets the contractor got. I told him he had to choices, one send a check for the total amount, or two show up in court. He sent the check.
It just makes the point that beside the US constitution the others are pretty much ignored.
A city charter serves the same purpose as a constitution. Under the definition of Constitution, you will find that charter is listed as synonym.
I didn’t follow the arguments for or against gay marriage.
Years ago, I had transported a gun across state lines but I called the police department to find the legal requirement to transport the gun.
I think that we need to move beyond state rights. Every time I hear that term I think Jim Crow laws and the abomination they were.
The court decision that uses reverse reasoning and say the bill rights is a restriction of the federal governments rights. Oralloy like to cite that decision also.
Anarchy would be anyplace before government was imposed.
When the communists that founded the Modern Conservative movement used propaganda to convince the American people that the American government was public enemy number one.
Grover Norquist, considered the second most powerful republican in America said it best, “I just want to shrink government to the point I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub.”
In all of law the case of yelling fire in a crowded theater is one of the most discussed cases. The supreme court case ruling was in 1919 Schenck v United States. The Court unanimously that the First Amendment though it protects freedom of expression, does not protect dangerous speech. The actual wording of the supreme court decision was “falsely shouting fire in a crowded theater.” That is an example of the dangerous speech that the supreme court unanimously ruled dangerous and not protected under the first amendment.
The First Amendment holding in Schenck was later partially overturned by Brandenburg v. Ohio in 1969, which limited the scope of banned speech to that which would be directed to and likely to incite imminent lawless action (e.g. a riot).
Let me see if I can clear up your misunderstanding Schenck vs United States. First let me say you are correct about the subject of the case bought before the supreme court but each case before the supreme court is representative of other similar cases and the ruling covers not only the case in question but all similar situated cases. In this case Justice Oliver Wendel Homes Jr in his opinion sites an example of dangerous speech which would not be protected under the first amendment “falsely shouting fire in a crowed theater.” That ruling tells you an illustration of what is dangerous speech and would not be protected and is as binding as if the original case was bought about someone falsely shouting fire in a crowded theater.

Ayn Rand was educated at a communist university that is a time of life when the communists had the most influence on a young person and Rand set out to destroy America with her nasty novel.
The real communist, the ones that founded modern conservative movement needed a straw man to attack scence the cold war ended there has not been a real communist threat in over 40 years just people who use words they don’t understand.
A mass shooting is a mass shooting you can’t separate how many took place in private residences and subtract them from the total.
Then how many took place outside and subtract them. Then how many took place in businesses and subtract them. It doesn’t work that way. Any way you look at it the problem is getting far worse each day. Why would it make any difference if you went to your neighbor’s house and he shot you with his AR-15 or if he shot you at school.
The study of murder suicides with cars is at least 20 years old and some older information is not as likely to make the internet. It is likely if I can find the name of the man that published the study that it can be located. Car suicides are included in the number of people killed in car accidents so suicides must be included in the number of gun deaths.
The problem we have is mass murder and mass shootings lead to mass murder. Gang violence is usually confined to one or two people but mass shootings are where four or more people are shot.
Assault weapons are nothing more than masculinity symbol.
I have no doubt that at least some mass murders are NRA members but a 100% are gun nuts.

In WV gun ownership is probably in the 80% range as hunting is a major sport.
Not only was Kucinich against the AR-15 so is the Republican governor who was a finalist in Republican presidential primary.
The problem with a private sale is that it allows anybody that can’t buy a gun legally simply will buy a gun from a private sale.
I have never been to a gun show but when there is a complaint about background checks it is referred to as the gun show loophole. It looks like it would be referred to as a private sale loophole.
I think anything that anything that makes it harder for someone who can’t legally buy a gun helps.
If you put your AR-15 in the paper for sale and someone shows up on your door step who can’t legally buy a gun and you sell him the gun then the next day the FBI shows up om your doorstep after they trace the gun back to you and tell you the guy killed 30 children with your gun. If you had to have a background check done before the gun could be sold it might save lives.
It would be much harder to locate someone that was selling guns illegally than those selling legally.
The shooter in Maryland had a specific target in mind not anyone with in range.
There are two things here, mass shooting defined as four or more shot and mass murders defined as those where four or more people are killed.
There should be another category called mega murders defined as those where over ten people are killed these for the most part these are done with assault weapons.
It is the mega murder and the assault weapons that concern me and I have been very consistent.
The magical thinkers in society have tried to make magic thinking the law of the land. The magic thinkers believe that a grandfatherly old man created the earth and everything in it in six days. They applied their magic thinking to when life begins and decided it was when the imaginary soul enters the fetus. When the magic thinkers decide they should use imaginary thinking to rule the land. The definition of what is alive applies to what is born. Do you know who the biggest abortionist of all times is? God. There are far more spontaneous abortions each year than abortions done by man. Most of the women who have spontaneous abortions have no idea they were even pregnant when they took place.
Miscarriage is the most common type of pregnancy loss, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). Studies reveal that anywhere from 10-25% of all clinically recognized pregnancies will end in miscarriage.

Since a fetus becomes a baby at birth is the tradition accepted line where would you draw the line?
Sperm is alive so if you had night time emission you should quickly gather it up and rush to sperm bank where it could be used to artificially inseminate women.
Otherwise you would be arrested and tried for murder. When the magic thinkers get going you are soon in the Dark Ages where ignorance reigns supreme. “Better to spill your seed in the belly of a whore.”
So, it is alright for the government to tell you what you can do with your internal body functions.
There are no rights if you can’t control your own internal bodyly functions. Not even a right to a flint lock.
Men would never ever let the government dictate to them that abortion was illegal.
Women are still treated like property and every corner preacher believe women must be subservient to them. They need to stick to telling fantastic stories and preaching ignorance.
Have you not paid any attention as to how many preachers are arrested for molesting under-age girls?
It is an epidemic and they want to make damn sure the law makes the little girls have their babies. Anti-abortion laws are about power over women. You might be surprised how high the percentage is.
Rape victims don’t have time for birth control.
How many survive abortions?
That's not a very discerning question.
Most politicians are easy to corrupt but once in office they have one thing in common they want to get rich. Unions on a local level have very little money to make political contributions.
This mayor took over when Reagan was bankrupting cities across America by taking Federal Revenue sharing away.
You can not take a right away that you never had. You never had a right to assault weapons.
Make no mistake about it if the Feds decide to enforce the law there will be no state where marijuana is legal.
Most of the politicians in power today are still baby boomers.
The unions and their families make up a good portion of that 50,000 people. Just because you help elect a mayor does not mean you control him. Your only option is to elect another mayor your only hope is to find one that will treat you fairly.
That is the problem when it comes to rights. If a black man has the same rights as a white man than a majority of white men can’t vote those rights away.
In the founding father’s day technology moved extremely slow.
The Constitution had to be adopted by the majority and it speaks again and again about the majority rule.
You cannot take a right that someone never had in the first place. Assault weapons were banned before and they will be banned again.
The second amendment was written to preserve the status quo at the time it was written not to make matters thousands of times worse.
No nation is free where men use the government to control women’s vaginas.
The Heller case is very clear that limits can be placed on dangerous and deadly weapons. This is the NRA big case and it is extremely clear that the second amendment is not unlimited.
The assault weapons on the streets are the same exact weapons with the exception of three parts.
Shot guns have common characteristic and can fire buckshot, the barrel is bigger than a rifle. With shot guns it is the type of ammunition they fire.
You might have a civil war cannon that fires a much bigger round than a Ruger Ranch Rifle but mass murders have not found out how to drag one into a school.
It is not the size of the bullets in the gun it is the number of people the gun can kill in the shortest period of time.
The NRA has made more enemies than it is paltry membership can handle.
The writing prevails there will always be arms but they will be limited according to the supreme court.
The Gun manufacturers passed a law that prohibited the CDC from gathering statistic about gun violence to hide it.
Out of this study how many used an AR-15 to defend themselves? None.
Since we are talking an about an assault weapon ban we need to know how many people used AR-15s to defend themselves.
Congress loves to name things. If congress pass a law that it calls it the “save the environment bill” you can bet the law is designed to destroy the environment.
Just because you come up with a name when someone is standing there with a gun it is not a gun free zone.
How many times can you pull the trigger of an AR-15 in minute? Fifty? A hundred? A hundred and fifty? Two hundred?
All the other mechanisms are in place that make the AR-15 capable of firing 400 to 600 rounds a minute. I would have no trouble pulling the trigger two hundred times in a minute.
It is hard to kill someone without firing a round. The more rounds fired the more people you kill.
Ayn Rand was educated at a communist university
There is a world of difference between a semiautomatic rifle an assault weapon.
If they are the same then after the assault weapons are banned you can have a semi-automatic rifle since there is no difference you should be happy with a semi-automatic rifle.
When the frequency of fire is almost uninterrupted you can bet it is an assault weapon when there is a couple of seconds between rounds it might be a bolt action.
I know all I need to know about guns they were designed to kill people. All cops are trained not to be heroes, to wait for back up.
You don’t need to be gun designer to make laws that ban dangerous and deadly weapons and you can always have a semiautomatic rifle there the same remember.
To call it gun free zone is one thing but any gun free zone will be crawling with guns in a minute or two.
Mass murders are well aware of that and it does not discourage them. Congress makes all kinds of laws that are named the opposite of there purpose.
If police in Maryland had heard uninterrupted gun fire he would have known it was an assault weapon.
Your lost in the name of a law not the actual factual situation.
The most frequently stolen items in WV are guns if you own them you should not brag about your gun collection because it will be stolen.
One of the firemen had a big gun safe the thieves got his cutting torch and cut out of his garage the door off the safe. So, if you have an AR-15 it will likely be stolen in your life time and used to kill people. A used car salesman had his entire gun collection stolen on a Saturday afternoon while he and his wife were upstairs getting ready to go out.
If I cut an AR-15 up with my cutting torch nobody could put it back together.
The constitution was to ensure that the majority rules.
I took most of my law classes in the 70s and 80s and that was a nonissue at the time.
Professional polling is pretty accurate. It is to expensive to question everyone. Maybe the census could add some questions like do you own an AR-15.
Don’t you have to register the gun to buy it legally?
This generation grew up on cowboy movies. Shoot em up bang, bang your dead. Monkey see monkey want.
The younger generation is far less likely to hunt and far less likely to own gun.
In 20 years the cowboy generation will have mostly passed and being a pretend hero won’t require a gun.
Sounds like a good idea to me if it penetrates a bullet proof vest ban it.
Even if they steal it from the poorest among us to give it to the richest? If history has taught us one thing it is that when the rich game the system till they have 99% of a country’s wealth it is game over the middle-class revolts and roasts the rich on spits and feeds them to their wife.
You at least should be able to follow along your posts are answered line by line. You should be able to put your post on one screen and follow my reply on the other. When I get to the book store I will get a book on windows 10 and see what they changed.
No, I paid income tax and even after income tax was withheld I had to pay more income tax. I still have the tax returns.
Do know anything about the history of income tax? Income tax was a tax levied on “excess wealth” this tax was to be paid only by the wealthy.
No working man paid income tax. The ungodly greedy shifted a tax that was levied against them onto the poor.
The Republicans in the House had intended to raise the 10% tax bracket to 12% and call it a tax cut.
Before Reagan took over the first tax bracket was 0% on the first $3,400 ($11,648.66 in todays dollars) but Regan cut the taxes on the rich 60% but what happen to the 0% bracket well Reagan raised it to 15% and told all the stupid Republicans what a huge tax cut they got and they honestly believed 15% was better than 0%. Go figure. It was so nice of baby Bush to cut the tax bracket that had been 0% under Reagan up to 10%
I was married and I paid income tax in 1972 if you made $1,000 after the standard and personal exemptions you 14% income tax.
I can tell you don’t do your own income taxes because the way you figure you would be in jail. A family making $50,000 with three children would get $24,000 standard deduction plus $6,000 for the children child credit meaning they would pay the entire 10% bracket and part of the 12% paying much higher taxes than last year.
The Pew Research Center is one of the leading propaganda centers in America.
If you want to compare taxes the one thing Pew doesn’t want you know is that those over $200,000 have over 80% of the income but pay only 58% of the tax that was levied on excess wealth and they are responsible for a 100%.
Gee isn’t funny they would leave out how much of the wealth they have which is the only important comparison.
They call it a “Fact Tank” when it a lie tank. When all taxes, local, state, and Federal are taken into account what group pays the smallest percentage? The ungodly greedy.
What skews the tax system is the child tax credit which is a welfare system that pays tax refunds to those who pay no taxes. Remove the welfare program and it will change the tax return equation.
When you do a tax return even a short form you get both the standard deduction and a personal exemption for each individual at least you did till this year.
Thank you Mr. Marx.
