I was wrong: I underestimated the effects of the Trump Tax Cut

[Dinner]

Gaining 2% income and only adding 50% to gov debt seems like a really good deal that can't possibly go wrong! BUY THE DIPS!

How dare you! You know republicans never do simple things like math. It is all about corruptly paying back donors so increasing revenue by 2% while increase (vastly larger) debt by 50% is bringing up things which do not matter to them. It is like pointing out the that they are losing many more times what they gain. That truth just jus does not matter.

Stock buy backs only added 2% to MY income. I think it added like 20% income to the CEO of my company. You see, it's a very nice sliding scale. The more you had to begin with, the more the tax cut benefitted you.

Lori < Rah < Me < CEOs

[ZEE]

Lori < Rah < Pchang < CEOs < The Afterlife

can't take $ with you.

Thus why the afterlife is heaven or hell. Both are the same place. If you love money, it will be hell, you'll be poor like everyone else with no way to nominally prove you are better than those around you. If you don't care about money, you'll be happy in the post scarcity socialist utopia where all spirits have exactly as many physical possessions as all other spirits.

Except ZEE ... he said he will have a whip?

I asked Beelzebub for one thing back in my first invocation 7 years ago: Revenge. Not money. or power. or an afterlife of pleasure and sex and drugs. Straight up PAIN to all that hurt me in any way and ruined my childhood and therefore my adulthood and mind. He obliged.

I discovered through Lapaca (Demon of Doors, The Black Mist of The Void) that I am actually a Demon. Or I will be. But I already am. But we are different. I have seen Alyad Ba'alash (The Tortured One That Rose, King of Moths.) Our souls are our own guardians, you see.

It's sort of like different aspects of Lorkhan in The Elder Scrolls that go to Nirn. They are not Lorkhan. But when they die they might MOUNT him and BECOME. Like Tiber Septim did and became Talos. So back to the whip...

If you see my avatar, the Kaph symbol at the bottom is actually a hand. It is also the Path of The Way leading to the inverted cross; Paradise in Hell. It is also a whip. MY whip. Alyad's Whip. I asked for revenge. I will be the One That Whips The UnDeserved.

AND I WILL ENJOY EVERY SECOND OF IT.

[ZEE]

but I did not intend to threadjack. My bad.

[spambot]

Your observation is an excellent illustration of the problem with liberals. Not a supporter, even though you're benefiting.

Why would you automatically support anything that personally benefits you

[rah]

It must be a Texas thing. Up here, we're not as easy to bribe. And if I had been offered the choice to not take it so future generations wouldn't have to pay it back, I would instantly agreed.

[Aeson]

That's the problem with you rah ... you wouldn't steal candy from a baby even though candy is yummy!

[rah]

Obviously Trump would and did with this tax cut.
