***Official Political Discussion Thread***

[AEA18]

There are a couple reasons why switching to chained CPI is a politically convenient way for Republicans to raise money. First, it’s subtle. Most people’s eyes glaze over when they hear about inflation adjustments. And the effect doesn’t become noticeable until years down the road, when people probably won’t even realize they’re paying more taxes than they otherwise would be under the old tax regime. Second, its won’t tick off GOP donors. The richest Americans don’t really need to worry about where tax brackets start and stop, since they pay the top rate on the vast majority of their income anyway. If you make $5 million or $10 million a year, it doesn’t matter if the highest bracket begins $10,000 or even $20,000 lower. As NYU law professor Lily Batchelder summed it up for me, “It’s a stealth tax increase that only affects the non-wealthy and grows over time.”

If their goal is to drive the educated young people out of the country, keep doing this ****.

I can help anyone here learn German because that is where we are heading. Berlin and Frankfurt am Main is very English speaker friendly but with so many progressives fitting to move there, some of you should become conversational in German.

Me, personally, I want to gentrify the village below Koenigstein Castle in former East Germany.

We can all come back when this Trumpism blows over.

My first choice is to move to Japan, but I would definitely consider countries like Germany, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark.

I'd pick Sweden over Germany tbh
But they're both excellent countries.

That’s the problem with California.

Most of the rest of the world becomes intolerable with regards to weather and climate.

We can now take a nice deep breath without taking the smell of bigotry, ignorance, struggle, and Adobo

why can't we just send trump back to Germany instead?

Germany would be cool though, especially Berlin. it's supposed to be affordable too.

depends how we're counting 30 days. it could really be like 7 weeks given how 'hood's calendar works.

Just watched the South Park episode Doubling Down.

*spoilers I guess*

Really digs into the logic of Trump supporters. And that our I told you so attitude helps cause them to double down.

I feel like Obama is trolling Trump in every single picture. The man is just too happy right now
