Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Hazards of being an elitist.

 

Educated people are more prone to ignorance.

 

This quote (in reference to a failed resolution that would have eliminated superdelegates) from a Yahoo News story cracks me up:

“It is our belief as sponsors of this resolution that our Democratic Party’s internal structure and processes need to reflect our core values,” explained Rhode Island state Rep. Aaron Regunberg on Saturday. “It is a fundamentally elitist argument to say that there are folks at the top who know better than anyone else.”

I'd say that elitist argument reflects the party's core values quite well.

 

That makes no sense.

 

Congratulations on inoculating yourself.

 

The taxes are always assessed at the sale. It's no different than your house. If you bought it for $100,000 15 years ago and it's worth $250,000 now, you're not expected to pay the gains right now. Why should other assets be different?

 

It's entertainment.

Are you not entertained?

 

The person who did the purchasing isn't the one being taxed.

You can hoot and holler all you want about "morality," but this situation is very specifically one that the Founding Fathers sought to address, and did it through an estate tax.

 

Ho hum. Another day, another Bigot For Trump.

 

Where's @doctorquant with the equation?

 

That is literally untrue.

 

It is *definitionally* untrue
