    We try.

    They start to worry and start drinking and forget why they began strategizing.

    I know. I had to bust your (neutered) balls by poking holes in your example.

    If they are as bad as you make them out to be I am sure they will do something to make sure their margins stay where they need them to be. Whether that be move the money elsewhere, shutter certain stores, or raise prices. In the end, the consumer loses. SPECIALLY because we now have to rely on the fucking dishonest STATE to spend the money in the way WE want it.

    We have some past and present state workers in this forum and they all seem pretty honest to me.

    By the way @dviss1 I'm aiming to get Four Roses this weekend. I think that's what it was called :)

    Did they do this when their top marginal tax rate was 91%? 79%?

    This whole argument flies in the face of history and reality.

    IDK man. Maybe, but more bike lanes and less roads on Broadway isn't my idea of well spent tax money. Haha :)

    It's easy to be whatever you want on this site and fool everyone into thinking you're whatever you want them to think.

    Just ask Maris.

    Wait so when we lowered their taxes did we get our return?

    FUCK NO. We got a recession.

    If you don't think those companies are going to pass on any tax, you need to hire some help.

    Few beers? It usually only takes a sip.... Once it hits his lips (the beer, I'm referring to the beer)...

    Actually I am surprised to see anyone wants this tax.

    For those that do, or a better written one, Why do you want this tax?
