"lowering" doesn't mean having the lowest rate in a race to the bottom. Putting it back to 35% would put us as top 5 in the world. And for what? We have the data. This is a settled point. Tax revenue goes down and entire ind

The actual counter-point is that history shows us the exact opposite of what you propose will happen. "Higher tax = more money for our efficient government" is incredibly simplistic and ignorant thinking. The fact is that lower ta

You're alive is the most you can say. Would you say the same if you develop cancer in 5 years? There is and was no long term testing, so enjoy being the experiment. You can't pretend those makers are all perfect. Who was it that w

And how did you analyze them to refute it? That's essentially the point. There are no "skill checks" anywhere in the system. There is no proof that any H1B holders have any skills.

So the average citizen is a barely-conscious slobbering fool. While Bayer Monstanto, the multibillion dollar organization that knowingly shipped HIV-contaminated blood products somehow deserves your defense? Alarm bells are ringing.

If your civilization, geopolitics, and macro economics all depend on pyramid scheme population growth you're doing it wrong.

That thinking falls apart pretty quickly. Why own a car at all? You could just call an Uber every time you need a ride and it would be affordable than paying for a car, insurance, fuel, maintenance. House? How excessive. Just rent a small a

I've seen this argument before. Back then we called it the Strawman Argument. Not much has changed.

So a minor inconvenience is a good reason to eliminate a method to combat what our media calls "settled science" of a phenomenon that is an existential threat to humanity? Interesting.
