Posted by ItsSupes2Remember I said "new locations..."Posted by VenusAquariusLook at amazon. Perfect example of tax breaks and growth. NYC promised tax breaks as the company is expanding.

Nuff saidPosted by ItsSupes2That's the good old days. And taxes do not automatically relate to increased employee compensation.Posted by VenusAquariusCompanies save just like everyone else to build.

instead of feeding the prison system lets feed the homeless
If we went back to people being no-name public servants that weren’t career politicians and reformed campaign finance laws there would be no motivation to do otherwise. Also - if we remove citizens united and revise tax laws so Billionaires can’t hide trillions from the US government or get million dollar refunds then we would have tons more resources available to help the constituents.
I can see how her stance will benefit her.
But, how does your stance benefit you?
Your choices are like you are among the wealthy but you are not. Do the rich feed you? How so?
If you leave them to their money they will invest in expanding their wealth by creating new jobs. This lets people feed themselves.
If you tax the hell out of them, there’s no jobs or pay growth. More govt assistance is needed and their tax money feeds people
Feeding the govt isn’t creating growth. Empowering the government with more than needed is same shit as billionaires keeping their money
Also shitty jobs that are complete crap that don’t actually provide for you and your family shouldn’t count as jobs.
Thirdly, the tax credits for the rich have time and time again not trickled down to workers but instead have additional funds for rich shareholders to buy back stock to increase their wealth.
It only helps their economy not ours.
US Corporate taxes are just high.
Most corporations tax breaks increase profit margins. Whatever distribution of profit they use does not change. They don't change their plans or business models just because of a tax break.
Just like an individual has deductions and credits, so do businesses and most wind up paying less than the statutory rate.
Remember the trend of firing people before they reach retirement?
Or, stealing employee retirements?
Or, working people at 35 hours a pp to keep from paying benefits?
Companies use profit in various different ways:
• Investments
• Acquisitions
• Discount to consumers for increased market share
• Advertisement
• New products
• New locations
And, if they happen to choose bonuses, the lionshare starts with investors and top management.
Their goals are not US job growth. Just profit. And, they do what they want with profit.click to expand
As stated earlier, taxes are not related to increased employee benefits, wages, or US job growth. Just profit.
Amazon, Walmart, McD's.... just look it up.

so basically u liked the music
Posted by NoaddicMy former fiancee tried making me go to this horrible party once. Once we were inside, I was ready to bolt. The place was booming with shit music, the kids were all getting high and doing God only knows what other drugs, and I was heading for the door faster than The Flash.
So I was at this house party I was invited to by a friend, he was the only one I knew. And those guys were just not my type of people. They had a (in my opinion) horrible music taste and sang along to stuff like this, I swear:
And, as usual, it was hard for me to close myself off from the vibe I was surrounded by and it went allright. But what often happens is that I get sucked into the vibe I'm in and at that moment I forget who I really am and what I really like. Like a chameleon that doesn't adapt his colors on purpose.
Does stuff like that happen to you too? It's like I always have to remind myself because I can get sucked into things I don't even want to be in.
I don't socialize well with losers. Never have been good at that, and won't ever be.
Respect yourself enough to know the difference between spending time with quality human beings and wasting time with idiots.
Avoid the latter.
you guys aren't boring though. you're reliable, steady and consistent.
maybe a little predictable but that's ok. it makes it easy on the rest of us to stay on the right side of you and understand what makes you happy and what makes you tick.
that's a blessing for your partners.

Posted by EffortlessBad marriage: Pisces...but we were just a bad match romantically. Neither of us regret it because we have our daughter and after much time, have re-established a friendship dear to both of us.
By Zodiac sign, who are the absolute worst people you have had to deal with?
This can include being in a bad marriage, a bad relationship, bad friendship, bad employment environment, bad family situation, etc...
The absolute worst people...
And how did you get away from those monsters?
Dating/Relationships: Cancer(guilted/shamed me for not being outwardly emotional and the other one was a sexually deviant psycho that nearly killed me) , Scorpio(not the recent one, but past Scorps have been obsessive and cheap), Capricorn(the only actual relationship I've been in besides my marriage...he lied and cheated constantly, and always expected me to just get over it).
Toxic family: Virgo and Sag(all females).
Bad friendship: Libra childhood best friend. I loved her dearly...but she had sex with a boy I liked when we were 13. He liked me, but I only let him hold my hand. She said she always felt like she was in my shadow because people only talked to her when they found out she was my best friend. So, one day he went to her house to give her a letter for me(he lived on her street). She asked him if he really liked me, he said yes. She invited him in since her mom wasn't home and had sex with him. She said, crying, that it felt good to have someone look at her instead of me, for once. I was so hurt. But...wrote him off instead of her. We remained best friends until we were 18, when she did it again.
Work: Capricorn male boss. He greatly limited my ability to advance in my career...and it seemed very personal.
How I dealt with them: cut them off completely, with the exception of my ex-husband.

Glad that things are amicable with your former husband, so this way your daughter will not grow up hating everyone she meets (as is the case with many traumatized children following a bitter divorce).
That Crapicorn sounds terrible, about the lying and cheating. The Cancer tried to kill you? What happened? That sounds terrible.
The Libra friend sounds rotten, too. She basically went after the guy you were trying to make some progress with, and that's awful. I know someone who was in the same situation (she is Taurus). Her disgusting Capricorn BFF (or so she thought) went after this guy she liked. Then she lied to her about it all.
Yea, I hear you about shit people at work. What is it about the Virgo and Sag people in your family? Are they hostile?
