  • I was referring to the castle metaphorically, as if it were any large purchase by a Sociopathic Oligarch. Substitute mansion or yacht for castle.

    And we should tax all forms of revenues for the wealthy, including income, investment, capital gains, inheritance, etc.

    And we should tax the shit out of churches.








  • No, but that work should be generating profit, and almost every employee should share in a higher percentage of those profits. Those at the top just make sure the profit increases, they don’t actually earn it, yet they get the far higher share. It’s the workers who actually create the profit, and they should be compensated with a much higher percentage of those profits.

    Of course, that means lower profits for the company, but if employees are getting fairly compensated, then they will have more buying power, and corporations will make up the difference in lower profit margins with increased sales volume from workers with expendable income.

    Sounds like a bunch of lame, unsupported excuses to me. Tax them hard!

    And if they want to leave, let them leave. America is the primary market everybody wants. If you want to move your company to avoid paying taxes, go ahead, but your access to the American market will end, and the government will confiscate ALL your American assets. Good luck making the same profit in the rest of the world.

    And tax churches, too.




  • What would I do? I’d go to fucking war. If I were getting into politics, it wouldn’t be to play it safe, it would be to cause trouble for the MAGA Nazis. They want a piece of me? Have at it assholes, I’ll be your worst nightmare wherever you put me, until you finally execute me for being too much trouble. But know that I’ll take as many with me as I can.

    I’ve made my peace with the idea that my life may have a twist ending that I wasn’t expecting when I was growing up. Dying an old man in my sleep seems like a wasted opportunity to me.

    Right now I’m biding my time, but I’m arming up, stockpiling ammo, and going to the range. I’m also accumulating non-lethal/ silent weapons, as well as stockpiling food and supplies.

    If anything happens to my family, it’s on.
