Fair enough. Perhaps I'm just naive.
You’re challenging my points as though I support Right Wing Politics. I’m a socialist.
But you need to accept that the principles work in a small controlled economic environment.
They were not written, nor would they be written in 2020.
You’re probably every bit as bright as I am.
I work with many a Tory. All lovely. All believe that if they have more, they can help more.
It’s an idea that I can understand. But it has no rules. If I gave 10% of my money to charity every year, then lose my job, I leave that hole in the Charity too. They should not be reliant on me and my job security.
Take a bit more from all those with too much. Give it to those that don’t have enough.
It creates noise. But not problems. It’s all noise.
Also : I get blinded by the lights too. Successful people impress me. But they cease to impress me when they put themselves and their needs significantly above wider society.
That sounds reasonable to be honest.
Yeah the tax loopholes in the US are insane. Blows my mind reading about Amazon and Netflix paying less taxes than your average joe.
I remember it well. As I recall the biggest issue concerned the controversial levels of imported Canadian flour. Hence the main slogan of the Republicans back then was "Make American Cake Again"
Well NOW you got me fired up. Especially after the brats just raised the price of its plans again.
A mod could get this on topic again.
Perhaps they want to pay more tax, and had to raise the subscription to keep it in line with their new payment.
No need imo. We're all shitposting out of nerves probably. Not much more to say at this point until the polls are mostly open. If somebody has a question or comment, loads of people here who can answer.
Dude, his point was about your views on mixing religion and politics. Nothing to do with Taliban, Ayatollah or Islamic tyranny...not sure where you got that from.
Probably about 5 - 10 years in NY State Pen.
This trickle down bullshit has no place in this thread. I guess nothing interesting happens for 10h+ but still.Perhaps they want to pay more tax, and had to raise the subscription to keep it in line with their new payment.

Really? I would have thought with Democrats probably way more inclined to vote early/not in person that Biden's lead would need to be further at this point. We'll see. All depends on today's voting turn out.
North Carolina has way more large universities than we do, has several more decently sized cities, including Charlotte, and the mountains of NC have a very left leaning population.
The mountains of NC is interesting in that it’s always been very different from the rest of NC going all the way back to the slavery era & civil war.
edit: damn, just saw @Raoul had beat me to it
People should rather blame Congress and the Trump administration for not closing the loopholes while drafting the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, rather than Netflix for taking advantage of it.
Have a feeling Biden is going to win and Trump is going to refuse to leave office. Would be befitting of the man and also of the year 2020.
Does anyone have a reliable website that updates the counting in "real time"? I'd prefer to follow something like that as opposed to being psyched out by clickbait headlines from the online newspapers 
Stupid question probably but is this a national holiday in the USA, considering the long waiting times in most places?
My nerves have really kicked in today.
No! It should be though.
lol
D actually lost a tiny bit of edge from VBMs + early with Monday update in FL, current difference is 115,461.
1.962m NPA have voted, with a roughly 10% edge in VBM to in-person, Dems lead at the moment is probably around 300k, give or take anywhere between 10-20k on either direction, depends on how NPAs break.

I have relative confidence in Biden winning this with ease.
Had a punt on him taking Florida, and i think he wins Pennsylvania 4%+.

The pages are moving fast enough to where the off topic nonsense will gradually fade away.
Oh, i assumed because we were previously discussing Iran. Made a bit of a leap i suppose.
I was actually watching a Trump rally earlier and a reporter asked one woman in the crowd what she’s gonna do if Biden wins and she said something along the lines of ‘I’m not having it!’ and me and my mum were like...what are you gonna do storm the White House

Other news websites will offer the same. But the thing is that looking at the total count is pointless, and even sometimes looking at a certain state is misleading. There are people who are very dedicated to figuring out the events as the vote unfolds, and they are employed by the networks. So it's not worthless to watch CNN, especially when they're just offering commentary on the votes so far and interpretation of it. Ignore when it goes to the pundit desk.
Trump sounds deflated
Cheers. I have access to CNN International and I assume they will be airing the original feed so I might just stick to that.
Trump is a very fat old man so I'm sure he's physically very tired after the last few weeks.
But he didn't sound like a man confident of victory there to me. Picking stupid fights with Fox News

Yes, Joe is going to have a hard time clearing up the absolute fecking mess you've created, you fat orange wanker.
Sounds like he's looping back to his rumoured long-term plan to launch a new right-wing network after the election. Criticising Fox as left-wing is part of that.
You can keep your Little Pumps, Eminem is team biden.
Also these are statutory rates aren't they? So this number is before loopholes, deductions, and any kind of offsets. I remember reading somewhere that the effective tax rate drops to the low 50s after all those are taken into account.
Ha - I got that! I meant that it's crazy that things have developed in a way that you're now in this situation.
