Re: We should all write to our members of Congress and demand tax reforms

OK I'm curious. What was "MAGA" or "far-right" about anything in my post? (I took care to keep political partisanship out of it, in fact.) Nothing far right to me. I just took MAGA as short hand for 'make America great again', at which your thoughts seemed to be aimed, at least ...

Re: Figuring Out Religion

“If you want to know what God thinks of money, look at the people he gave it to.” —Dorothy Parker But seriously, I don't think money is evil per se.

Exactly. I had to cut my neighbor's fence, and now we enjoy the same grass. :P

Re: We should all write to our members of Congress and demand tax reforms

I disagree about the corporate tax rate: that should be 0%. Is your rationale for this the double taxation argument? If yes, it then conflicts with SCOTUS and Citizen's United where they deemed corporations to be "people" with all the rights thereto. FWIW, I disagree with SCOTUS and agree...
