    I didn't argue it....I said you judged someone for working in the shipping industry and what it had to do with their income or skillset or why that made them out of touch with reality......that was moronic ....no offense to the Mongolians who live in the city of Moron

    Trump is going to hop around the country like a giant Easter bunny shitting solid gold eggs on everyone's lawns.

    It's not here. If it were, it would be taxed. That's the law.

    If it were here, nobody would talk about it being in overseas banks.

    Yes, the tax rate is absurd.

    There's a wee difference between America First and Fortress America.

    Trump's HQ is in NYC, not overseas.

    Let's see. CNBC economics writers vs. Barfo who's demonstrated a poor understanding of economics.

    I'll go with CNBC.

    Go ahead, no skin off my nose. Being misinformed is surely quite an asset for a full-time Trump apologist such as yourself.

    Those interested in facts might want to read any one of a number of more substantial articles, such as this one from the Failing New York Times.

    Being misinformed. Obviously it doesn't take one to know one. Thanks for pointing it out.

    Multinationals based in the United States now hold more than $1.6 trillion in cash classified as “permanently invested overseas.” These funds will face the 35 percent federal corporate tax only if it is returned to the country.

    The companies say that they need to shield their money overseas, however, because the official corporate rate of 35 percent is the highest in the world and puts them at a competitive disadvantage. And while the offshore money may be in American banks and controlled from home, executives say it would be irresponsible to return the money to their shareholders or invest it in the United States because of the high tax rate.

    Wrong again. If I lived in:

    OH, FL, WI, MI, PA

    I'd have held my nose and be forced to vote for Clinton. Because FUCK Trump.

    I do. Working for a Union is great. I work for UPS. FedEx is non-union and get away with paying their employees shit wages. Like most of the country, paying employees shit wages has become acceptable. I spent 5 and a half years as a PT employee to get a crack at what I do now. One of the best jobs out there without a college degree. Hell, you don't even need a high school diploma. You should get a union job and then maybe you wouldn't be so unhappy.

    There's 2 kinds of people who hate Unions. Jealous people who are bitter about our wages and great benefits. Or, the corporate people who want a couple extra mil on their end of the year salary.

    The company makes money hand over fist and every quarter sets record for earnings. I work my ass off and do a job that physically puts a wear and tear on your body.

    Your tears are too salty. I'm having a hard time understanding what your point is again.

    Well, do tell. Because many a political pundit has observed (and spoken about) this behavior by the left and have attributed it to their demise. So please sir, explain why you disagree with the political "professionals" on this topic.

    "Fuck Trump" has nothing to do with so-called "identity politics." You don't have to be part of some aggrieved minority or "snowflake" to be turned off by his bellicosity and nativist rhetoric and frankly, poor understanding of the Bill of Rights.
