    They were already ridiculing him for that before the election when they thought they were going to win.

    The thing that gets me is the Jill Stein recount effort. I don't give a fuck what people do with their money, but that's $5MM+ donated to this pointless recount thing that could have been used to help people. Or dismantle capitalism, or undo the patriarchy, or whatever it is the green party stands for.

    BUSTED. MORE FAKE NEWS.

    Teen who said she was harassed by Trump supporters goes missing
    by Tina Moore| New York Post — December 9, 2016

    A Muslim teen who said she was called a “terrorist” by a group of men harassing her on the subway earlier this month has been reported missing, police sources said.

    Yasmin Seweid, 18, of New Hyde Park, was reported missing by her father on Thursday, prompting the Nassau County Police Department to open an investigation, according to police sources. The teen, who attends Baruch College, hasn’t shown up at school since Dec. 2, sources said.

    Seweid told police she was coming home from a fashion show at Baruch College at 11 p.m. on Dec. 1 when three men who’d been talking about Donald Trump started harassing her on the subway train.

    “Oh look at this f–king terrorist,” one man said at the 28th St. stop, according to sources.

    Seweid said she ignored them, but they continued taunting her.

    “Take that rag off your head,” one man said as he grabbed her bag, according to sources. “Go back to your country. You don’t belong in this country.”

    “Can you leave me alone,” she said, according to police sources.

    The hate-spewing trio then followed her to the other side of the train car and shouted at her to, “Go back to your own country.” One of the men grabbed her hijab, telling her to take it off, she told police, according to sources.

    Seweid finally got off the train at Grand Central.

    “Three white racists ripped the straps off my bag & attempted to yank my hijab off my head,” she wrote in a Facebook post the next day. “They yelled such disgusting slurs at me, I was so helpless and felt defenseless.”

    “It breaks my heart that so many individuals chose to be bystanders while watching me get harassed verbally and physically by these disgusting pigs,” she added. “Trump America is real and I witnessed it first hand last night! What a traumatizing night.”

    Her last post on social media was on Dec. 3, according to sources.​

    Didn't Obama mock Romney in 2012 for being concerned with Russia? My memory is fuzzy but I seem to remember this.

    First of all taxation is theft.
    But if the government is going to steal, shouldn't it steal the same from everyone?

    Well not really. 33% tax on a guy who makes min wage would be insane..

    But to take a guy who makes between 150 and 500k and lump him in with guys making a billion is probably to wide of a gap wouldn't you think?

    From 7 tax brackets to 3! Everyone's going up while the 600k to billions goes down from 39.5% to 33%..

    Don't even get me started on the poor kids coming straight outta college and their inflated bracket.. just sad

    I think a 33% tax on anyone is insane.

    No, I don't. If you're going to have taxes, the only fair way to do it is for everyone to pay the same percent. There also shouldn't be any deductions or exemptions. The government uses these to socially engineer and encourage/discourage behavior, which I find repulsive. Make it simple and make it fair (same percent) with no loopholes. Then the people that make the most will pay the most, but then everyone has skin in the game at the same rate.

    Looks more like everyone is going down. Of course everyone immediately gets their panties in a bunch because the highest earners are getting a big break.

    http://www.npr.org/2016/11/13/501739277/who-benefits-from-donald-trumps-tax-plan

    The standard deduction more than doubles, so very low earners are going to pay less than they do now. You can see the effective rates by quintile in the link I provided above, but the Trump plan is even better than that for very low earners.

    Take a single person who makes $10.00/hour full time, which I believe is minimum wage these days.
    10 x 40 x 52 = $20,800/year.

    Old system:
    Standard deduction is $6300, so taxable income is $14,500
    10% on the first $9,275 = $927.50
    15% on $9,275-$14,500 = .15x(14500-9275) = 783.75
    Total tax = $1711.25

    Proposed system:
    Standard deduction is $15,000, so taxable income is $5,800
    12% on $5800 = $696.
    Total tax = $696

    I say 15% tax straight across.
    And instead of deductions, there should be exceptions.

    Low-Skilled Labor should not be taxed if they work at jobs that pay minimum wage. They should be exempt for the first 15k they make and then pay the regular rate for additional earnings.
    That number goes up 5k with each family member they have to support with a hard cap of 4 dependants.So a father of 3 with an unemployed wife can be tax-free up to 40k.

    Skilled Labor should be exempt for the first 10k. Except once they hit 10k all of their earnings are taxable including the first 10k. And their 4 dependants can get them tax-free for earnings between 10k and 30k.
