Who ran me out of job?

And? He sold those places, which is what any sensible person in that predicament would do.

Really? Was that before or after he sold them?

Why does that even matter? Trump didn't own shit in this town after Icahn bought it all out. Trump actually had to sue that pig for using the brand while not maintaining the properties according to the contractual agreement to renting the brand. All Icahn ever did was cut services, strip the buildings down and let them fall to a level of structural decay that made them unsafe. Then, a union ran him out of town. The real people to talk to about this are the union leadership, not anybody's half baked blog.

Carry on...

????????????????????????????????????

Nope. It was 100% Carl Icahn, who merely rented the brand from Trump.

First, they have to figure out who to sting. It's not a guy with leopard skin car seats or a purple zoot suit.

Currently there is taxation, whether the income is from work or not. A person can be set and still pay the tax.

So? Either way, Trump was not the owner.

Those casinos did not belong to Trump when they failed. Anyway, I'd prefer to just pay the tariffs than have the government picking my pocket every time I get paid.

You really don't know what you're talking about. If I buy a thing at a yard sale, is that illegal, too, just because sales tax wasn't involved?

That's not too far fetched, actually. Consider that we all need housing while the annual property taxes are often more than the mortgage payment. If the government would do that, don't be surprised at anything.

That's nonsequitor. Tobacco and food are both legal consumables. Just like pot is now a legal consumable in New Jersey. The dispensaries aren't as profitable as the untaxed bootleggers. Why do you suppose that is?

Okay, so when Peta starts making more noise and the government decides to make another huge money grab with a four hundred percent tax on meat, you'd rather starve than dodge the tax? You're full of soup.

Not the same thing at all.

What project?

Okay, so everyone who has ever been to a speakeasy is a criminal. Take your brain fart someplace else. You can't reasonably outlaw sneezing on Sundays and expect everybody to comply.

Oh, now I'm a criminal. First, I'm not the one looting stores, setting fires or generally acting as an injurious menace to the population. Second, when a law or a tax happens to be unjust, it eventually gets repealed. There will in time be a president or a governor who will end the tax.

When it's the end of the world, all the politicians and people who occupy corporate board rooms will drop their agendas and adjourn. No one will have the endurance to collect on their insurance.

I don't parrot just to "fit in". There's a difference.

That's not how a free society works.

How am I "abusing" it? If I pay a person to sketch a thing for me, the artwork is his and the concept is mine.
