Further destruction of the middle class

[twoguns?]

The simple answer is creating a new pro-usa union. Maybe America needs a national union to represent us. We'll give up our independent choices of where to shop, what to buy, ect... We'll all agree to be told how much 'American' we have to ratio in purchases, dues should be included in the American ratio too.

Call them "Compensatory Donations"
(youll get a Lot more ...takers)....

CNN) -- Some of the world's most well-known companies like Apple, Google, Facebook, Boots and Starbucks have become successful partly by convincing us through their products that their corporate values align with consumers' personal values.
But what happens when these companies behave in ways that seem to betray our trust? What if you find out that these companies keep their huge profits offshore and out of reach of domestic tax authorities?
Will people challenge them -- "You want to change the world and have us pick up the tab?" Yes, people are voicing their discontent. At Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in June, protesters loudly criticized Apple for keeping $54.4 billion offshore to avoid paying U.S. corporate taxes.

Maybe if we didn't have the highest freaking corporate tax rate in the world, they would be more inclined to declare and spend money here. Btw, of course it's not mentioned, but all those profits are not from the US.

You really need to broaden your horizons and read something other than the communist news network!

I won't bore you facts.

We don't like facts. We only like personal attacks and emotional appeals. Don't confuse us by showing us facts. We consider facts as an affront to our personal dignity.

What I would show is different ways to depreciate equipment based on different accounting methods. I could calculate and provide a spreadsheet with a side by side to show overall, the same nominal (not taking the time value of money into account) amount is depreciated but the timing is different.

And no I wouldn't bring my backup to a coffee shop, but I would have my laptop in the vehicle with me if something was questioned.

The thing is, it's not opinion, it's fact.

I know, we're all having fun! And I love crunching numbers.

I guess thatsa difference. You call it crunching numbers, we call it counting beans.

I have a guy I pay that crunchs numbers. Hes alot smarter than me, yet he works for me. I trust him and his opinion, without me, he would make less and I prolly would as well.

My point is this. As consumers, the middle class should be protected. The poor should be protected from the middle and the middle should be protected from those with real power.

Yall bean counters are a good bunch but just like my guy, his job is to protect me n mine. I trust him to protect mine but I dont trust him to protect the middle or poor.

Anyways carry on. I may learn a little something.
