There’s Nothing Conservative About Donald Trump’s Trade Philosophy
It’s actually the essence of left-wing economic thought.

The MAGA mindset.  Defensive, short-sighted, ill-informed and proud of it.

You want a smaller IRS in a growing population, and defend 1960s technology.  You can file documentation, securely, online, for most states.  I appreciate the any-to-any complexity of legal agreements, but I guess you've never used docusign or an online portal.  Part of the IRS problem is the inability to support digital commerce. 

What you didn't address (as expected) is Trump's pardoning a convicted tax felon.  If you ever get in trouble, all you need to do is buy his meme coin or write him a check.  Law and order.

As for the full service provider... my CPA license is inactive.  I focus 100% of my time on a tax technology company I founded.  Automated, digital compliance documents.  A small business.... burdened by the inefficiency of the government defended by cretins who continue to underfund innovation while reminiscing about the "good ole days". 


That's a relief, I was starting to wonder. Even Germany, famous for the sluggishness of its bureaucracy has fully digitised its tax system. They don't even want to see paper anymore.

I hope that you do not claim to be a full service provider for what you do because obviously you are not.

Document scans are not acceptable.. We have a fax and use it very regularly to send documents. We also still have a land line for the fax machine.

You could always go to Kinko's or Staples or Office Max to fax your documents.  Perhaps your bank could fax documents for you. Nearly all real estate offices have one.  My accountant's office has at least one.

I hope that you do not claim to be a full service provider for what you do because obviously you are not.

So you trust Trump, even when he lied to you and is still lying to you. And he told you to hate immigrants and Blacks and people who don't look like you, so you hate them. And he said that Putin was a genius for invading Ukraine, so you say it too. 

AFAICT you're driven by fear and resentment. Trump and Fox just point you at a target and you go off. Meanwhile Trump has turned the Oval Office into Crony Capitalism headquarters and Fox keeps lying for him. 

Kurt, you can wade into culture wars and wedge issues for the rest of your life. Maybe you think that you're standing up for and defending a way of life under threat here. But it should be obvious now that all the craziness of "they're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats" and "you send your kids to school and they come back a different gender" was just a way to distract you while

TRUMP AND THE GOP TAKE YOU TO THE CLEANERS.

In his first term, Trump pushed us to the left in areas like immigration and law enforcement. Liberals took steps that they thought of as inclusive — such as endlessly embracing pronouns, land acknowledgments and terms like “pregnant people” — that bewildered many other voters or left them feeling excluded.

Worse, there is a tendency in liberal circles to denounce anyone sympathetic to Trump as a racist, bigot or fascist. It’s always distasteful when educated elites employ invidious stereotypes to dismiss millions of working-class people — plus it’s difficult to win votes from people you’re castigating.”

You are guilty of deliberately spreading misinformation.  Isn't that one of the ultimate sins according to you democrats ?  So sinful that you had a department created to prevent it from happening ? That is not what he said.  This has been misreported everywhere I looked, either by editing the quote in an outright lie as above or the other lie, the lie by omission, such as a what Reuters did. "The job of the U.S. Armed Forces is not to host drag shows, to transform foreign cultures," Trump said. "The military's job is to dominate any foe and annihilate any threat to America, anywhere, anytime, in any place." It shoulda been :
"The job of the U.S. Armed Forces is not to host drag shows, to transform foreign cultures, ....   " Trump said. "The military's job is to dominate any foe and annihilate any threat to America, anywhere, anytime, in any place." to show an edit.  People looking for the whole quote on a legitimate news agency's site to verify the quote would be unable to.  Here, see what he actually said. 

Changing OR with BUT makes everything different.


Here's what he said. The job of the US Armed Forces is not to host drag shows, to transform foreign cultures, but to spread democracy to everybody around the world at the point of a gun. So what Trump actually said is... they're NOT there to host drag shows... they ARE there to spread democracy at the point of a gun. You're saying he didn't mean what he said, and it should have been or instead of but? Either way you're making arguing something that isn't reasonable or factual. I think you're saying that Reuters didn't list the entire quote, but then you're saying that what Trump said isn't what he meant?  You're angry at them for NOT repeating his error? If they post what he actually said, you argue that's not what he meant. If they don't post his entire statement, you argue "that's not what he said"... but it's exactly what he said minus the parts you argued weren't right?
No matter what he said, you must be so proud of his wearing a baseball hat to the West Point graduation.  Very respectful.
 
JFC, y'all are are worthless.

Or that no one actually listened to the quote.

What Trump said is ""The job of the U.S. Armed Forces is not to host drag shows, to transform foreign cultures, or to spread democracy to everybody around the world at the point of a gun."

For those who flunk reading comprehension.  Translation : The job of the U.S. Armed Forces is not to spread democracy to everybody around the world at the point of a gun. 

The "OR" in the quote has been substituted with "BUT" in so called transcripts of the speech which entirely changes the meaning of the statement.
