You can't ascribe singular districts to Democrats gerrymandering. The ones in Ohio, Texas, Alabama, NC, Mich were all done by Republican legislatures, some using REDMap. And while Maryland is certainly an offender and they too should b

I used to listen to Stern every once and a while when he was on the radio. I haven't listened to Stern since his move to Sirius radio. I'm not saying it was a bad move for Stern, but he certainly lost some amount of relevance, ju

They increased about .5% inflation adjust per year from 2010-2020. That again does not mean that spending is out of control especially when you consider that 2010 was still in the depths of the great recession.

Your comment has nothing to do with spending. So what makes the Seattle budget out of control? That was the original assertion that I took issue with.

In your thought experiment the cost isn't being borne by the worker, it's being borne by the business.

by dlp211 6y ago
I'm sorry, but I can't track the point you are trying to make. I'll reiterate my point that shipping is a cost that has to be paid, but who bears that cost is not necessarily the customer. If it was the case that the customer

In this context, we are talking about the Seattle Head tax, which is NOT applied equally. In the larger discussion of payroll taxes, to disprove that workers bear the entire burden of payroll taxes, just go through the thought experiment wh

This is not evidence that payroll taxes are borne solely by the worker. I'm not claiming that workers don't bear any of the burden. Just that they don't bear all of the burden. this would be especially true in an asymmetrical

This is only true in the sense that there is a cost to move goods, but it is not true in the sense that retailers charge more to move the good to you. If it were, I wouldn't be able to reliably purchase goods shipped to my door for equ

They edited their post. Also, numbers don't mean anything without context. Why is that out of control spending?

by dlp211 6y ago
Payroll taxes may or may not be borne by the worker. Oversimplifying tax burden is a dishonest argument that is consistently perpetuated.

The Patriot Act is getting renewed in the House with or without this amendment.

by dlp211 6y ago
I doubt this. It makes no sense to not vote for the amendment irrespective of your vote for the larger bill. In other words, Sanders could vote yes on the amendment and no on the bill.
