    So where is the trailer park guy from Nebraska or wherever he was conceived? The one that started this shit thread? Could the current economical situation of this once great nation be the reason he’s not around anymore?

    That seems like a good place to start. The tax code is so damn complex though. The levers are already tipped in the favor of the rich and wealthy right now that I think it would take more rolling back than is feasible. The closing of loopholes is like cutting the head off of hydra.

    You guys talk a lot of shit about Wyoming, and rightfully so, but you'd probably be surprised at how many LLCs are incorporated there from out of state. Just one example of the layers that corporations "utilize" to avoid paying taxes.

    LLC's are a disregard entity for the tax code.
    They have absolutely no impact on your tax status.

    The reason people set up LLCs in Wyoming is because of the liability protection the state laws provide for.

    May 30 (Reuters) - U.S. energy firms this week cut the number of oil and natural gas rigs operating for a fifth week in a row to the lowest since November 2021, energy services firm Baker Hughes (BKR.O) said in its closely followed report on Friday.
    It was the first time since September 2023 that the number of rigs declined for five straight weeks.
    The oil and gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, fell by three to 563 in the week to May 30. , ,
    Baker Hughes said this week's decline put the total count down by 37 rigs, or 6%, from this time last year.

    Baker Hughes said oil rigs fell by four to 461 this week, their lowest since November 2021. Gas rigs rose by one to 99.

    In the Permian Basin in West Texas and eastern New Mexico, the nation's biggest oil-producing shale formation, drillers cut one rig, bringing the total down to 278, the lowest since November 2021.

    In New Mexico, drillers cut one rig, bringing the total down to 91, the lowest since December 2021.

    Trump called fed chair Powell a “low IQ, stupid person” yesterday.

    I literally spit my drink out when I heard it live.
