Region: Lands End

History

Due to recent events on NS I have been left exhausted. For this reason I have decided to take a bit of a more relaxed day on NS. I will still be here, just not as active as I would normally be.

Supposedly, they got a tax break. And the first 22k is nontaxable.

However, this plan also helps the rich far more than it helps anyone else...

Cool, a political discussion.. better steer clear from that.

I feel obligated to point out that LE is one of the few Left-Wing Regions on a WA level...

Which is ironic, because we're also ultra-capitalist.

Left-wing? I always thought of us as more right-wing.

Not a surprise, considering who proposed the plan.

The idea was to lower corporate taxes in order to make the US more competitive on the world stage. I think it depends on what you emphasize on. High corporate taxes creates corporate inversion, which is not beneficial for the economy. You gotta look at it from a macro standpoint instead of subscribing to the fallacy that the tax cuts "only benefits the rich." In fact, the middle class will receive a tax cut. The tax cuts would stimulate the economy, increasing consumer spending, creating jobs, etc.

We're middle of the road, really. Which, in modern polarized politics, means that we're always with the minority.

The WA is overwhelmingly right-wing. We're not.

A World Assembly being right-wing? That's new, I hear a significantly larger amount of conservatives oppose global organisations and bodies then liberals.

Well, considering our region is tagged as Anti World Assembly, then by your logic we are right wing, which I believe to be correct.

Ah, so you are one of the Jews in the poll. I love chanukah, but I might like passover better, I've memorized the lyrics to Dayenu and Bashana haba'ah.

Yeah, I think in the last couple of years it aligned with christmas once. Also, we almost always have a Shabbanukah (the shabbat inside of chanukah).

Concerning the left-wing, right-wing conversation, it determines which country's wings are we using? The US and UK's wings are polar opposites.

Bluximburg wrote:Woke up to great news! Senate Republicans successfully passed the tax reform bill!

I is not law. The House passed a different bill. Neither can become law, unless they can now make one the both houses will pass.

The bill is a huge boon for corporations and the rich. But the rest can always eat cake!

I was replying to an old post. There is no edit button for that. But my statement can stand alone I suppose. Still, I'll preface it. Someone posted how very different the Left and Right are, in UK & US. I merely pointed out that in the UK, most of the Labor Party seem to be secret members of ISIS. That opinion is likely not uncommon..

Funny thing is, I was just caught double-posting in Conch Kingdom! I was advertising Yarn-Fest and I must’ve hit the post button twice? I’m not exactly sure how it happened, but it did. How hypocritical of me.

On a side note, I love almanacs. When I was a kid, my parents use to buy different annual additions of almanacs for me. Sad to see it become increasingly irrelevant. Perhaps the population is becoming more ignorant?
