Taxes through the roof?

Sticks48 comments on Jan 22, 2020:

Americans want a lot of stuff, but they don't want to pay for it. The Scandinavian countries pay much more in taxes than we do, and yet they are always the countries that have the happiest populations. The reason is their governments spend the money on them. If you take the money Americans spend on ...

Sticks48 replies on Jan 23, 2020:

@oraldictation Statrisistics back me up. No one of wealth is paying enough in taxes. That is fact. I didn't say all, but there was a list published of those who paid nothing and it is made up of companies like Amazon. The economy is not great. The economy is not even good. When the middle class down struggles the economy is not great. Hence higher crime rate. You sound like someone who is completely out of touch with reality. You should do something about that.

@oraldictation It is not nonsense. Look at history in this country. When the people in the middle class and lower are comfortable and not stressed, crime goes down. That is fact. Your taxes go up because the wealthy and corporations do not pay their share of taxes. That is also fact.

The "haves" don't need help or assistance. You can't have capitalism without having the "have nots". A government that doesn't take care of all of its people is less than a good government.

I like beards... but not quite as much anymore. [amp.theguardian.com]

My mother was always of the opinion that people grow beards to hide their face. To her, "Ugly men grow beards. Handsome men don't need one."

@Haemish1 The network news and PBS still deliver the straight news. The cable outlets are not a place to look for news. The NY Times, and especially the Washington Post still do an admirable job. Could it be better, sure, but as soon as the accountant types take over companies they are going to be fucked up to some degree. They have ruined the music and film industries.

Why There Are So Many Incompetent Male Leaders

Gwendolyn2018 comments on Jan 12, 2020:

By the way, Trump is NOT charismatic.

Sticks48 replies on Jan 13, 2020:

@Gwendolyn2018 People have left. I believe conway and miller ( They don't deserve capital letters in their names ), just love being close to the seat of power. I thought Obama was one of the most charismatic people ever. I met Ali and I can say he had charisma coming out every pore. Obviously other people do not feel that way about them at all. I know race has quite a bit to do with both of those examples. I don't think most of trump's hard core followers are going to find a really intelligent person charismatic because they feel somewhat inferior to those people, as most of his followers are uneducated, and feel like they are looked down on by these people whether that is true or not. What they don't get because, because they aren't very bright is trump and his ilk do look down on them where as Obama and the people like him really don't. IMO

I don't believe they are either male or female. The word "transgender" pretty much says exactly that. If they were one or the other the word "transgender' would not exist.

Happy Birthday! Our bass player (Jerry Burns) does a show called "Jerry's Kids". They do nothing but "Dead" songs.

Sticks48 replies on Jan 11, 2020:

@Spinliesel I will ask him. They do all Dead songs, but they don't try to copy the Dead. Jerry has a voice reminiscent of Paul Simon. He rotates a lot of different players in and out of the group so it can take on a very different feel depending on the players on any particular evening. One night he did a trio with these two really good players who obviously had at least some background in jazz. It had that kind of feel of the small jazz combos and clubs of my youth, but it was all Dead songs. You might like them. My sister-in-law is a Dead Head and she really likes them.
