Sometimes they are. How many times has Trump gone through bankruptcy?

And this was due to the excessive taxes or trumps incompetence?

Does it matter? The tax bill was still reduced.

Lesson: You're all fools for thinking you can fleece the hard-working productive class forever. The Laffer curve isn't fiction. Learn to moderate your greed.

Here's a little test for you. Which one of the following photos is slavery? (No fair googling!)

Someone somewhere has less than you. All those in favor, please sign up to hand over YOUR wealth immediately. Yep, didn't think so. Redistribution is code for a communist take over. Such take overs always come with their very own complementary bloodbath. Thanks to you great jealous toads who would wish this evil on others. May you be the first to absorb the costs.

Not the golfers. They're not earning anything when they're on the golf course unless their name is Barack Obama.

Anecdotal experience... before we had our own business, my husband not only had to take time off (the time was NOT billable to the client - you don't bill a client to take them to play golf) to take a client to the company owner's country club for golf, he also had to reimburse the company owner for the greens fees.

Redistribution of wealth in America is as practical as Ron Paul's ideas.
