There you go posting misinformation again. And I'm not sure you want to get into a Trump vs. AOC dick measuring contest when it comes to misinformation; if you haven't been paying attention for a decade, your boy takes that title by a country mile.

No it is not safe to assume. It’s actually very common for large corporations to pay little to no tax. Go see for yourself.

The facts - Donald Trump didn’t pay any federal income taxes in the ten years prior to being president due to claimed losses. Then paid $750 when he was president. The us tax code has about as many holes in it as your argument for the very wealthiest of individuals. I guess you’re good with that cause they are such awesome people who employ others and buy services from others and help their businesses. Except for that time trump declared bankruptcy 6 times and didn’t pay a bunch of people, but that happens right?

It’s well known that Amazon won’t build anything unless they get tax breaks up the ass.

It's really too bad that a well placed ballistic missile couldn't land right there when they're all in attendance.

Just a big reset.

Maybe some anarchy. But that's okay.

- 1500 criminals involved with trying to overthrow the 2020 election on behalf of Trump given full pardons
- bows out of the Paris Agreement (joining Libya, Iran and Yemen)
- windmills are bad
- Musk gives the Nazi salute onstage (twice)
- sounds like 25% tariffs for Canada on Feb. 1

Just so I understand correctly.........there are Canadians that actually support this lunatic? What a complete disaster of a day.

Oh no...."Nazi Salute"

*checks Bingo Card*

Nope. Even the most cynical of humans, those that work at the Canadian Lottery Corporation and moonlight presumably at registry offices and banks...did not see that coming.

My Grandmother was at Bingo...saw that and flipped her dobber and walked out.

I absolutely had a Trump acolyte Nazi salute on my Bingo card. Just look at the company this man keeps. Did not expect it on inauguration day though.

On a country that was founded in every way possible to avoid the British Monarchy that felt/feels they are divinely appointed.


But anyone who supports these fools will overlook that, whether willingly or unwittingly.

When your employer withholds a portion of your monthly pay and remits it to the government, do you consider that money paid to the government to be from you or from your employer?

The employers idea generates them revenue and they give a piece of their revenue to you for a specific service and pays the goverment a tax from their revenue for employing the employee.
