LOL...you don't understand how state taxes work do you? those taxes are deductible on the federal level. So are the local... it's easy to look up.

Well, they were...under Trump who wants to **** the blue states because they didnt vote for him..it's different. Not sure how much.

Also, I think it is a little funny that the same people who hate PC culture and try to 'troll' the liberal 'snowflakes' get so butthurt over players kneeling. Do you need a safe space? lol.

Butthurt? Its disrespectful. The anthem is a military salute. And don't say it is not because they always come out with color guard and military personnel. Then again you're a pacifist so why do you even care about the military? If you saw two hooligans beating a stray dog you would just yell at them and not intervene. Coward. I don't care what players do btw. If you love America so much, why do you want to eliminate the Electoral College? Lastly, Trump's rating was poor before the election too. It did not matter.

It’s disrespectful to do a lot of non-PC things.

The anthem is not a military salute. It’s an anthem.

Really? Then why do they say "Please stand as we honor those who served and our nations colors?"

Your leftist views are insane

Because the US government pays them to. My son’s little league had a girl come sing the national anthem. No one said anything about the military.

Did you just compare pro sports to little league? Seriously?

Don't forget, B_L lives in the state that hates America and has threatened to secede. The military is honored all the time during youth sports in more patriotic parts of the country.

Texas among others, threatened to secede under Obama...are they non-patriotic?

DENVER — It’s traditional for Americans to threaten to move to France or Canada when their candidate loses, but this year some disappointed voters are implementing a different plan.

In the wake of the Nov. 6 election, petitions seeking to secede from the union have been filed on behalf of 23 states on the White House website, https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petitions. Most of the petitions contain the same wording and ask to withdraw “peacefully” from the United States in order to form independent governments.

Critics describe the effort as a bit of an overreaction. “Anyone who wants their state to secede from the union is someone whose brain has already seceded from their body,” said John Andrews, director of the conservative Centennial Institute at Colorado Christian University.

Still, the White House may have to take the requests seriously. According to the website, any petition receiving 25,000 online “signatures” on the “We the People” page within 30 days of posting will receive a review by the appropriate executive department and a response from a White House staffer.

As of Monday, the Texas petition had already exceeded the 25,000-signature threshold, and the Louisiana petition was fast approaching the cutoff with more than 18,000 signatures. Most of the petitions were posted online Nov. 10, which means they have until Dec. 10 to qualify for a response.

Yeah, I know, but I just a hatred for CA. It's kind of unfair of me as I have never lived there, but oh well.

Ignorance is what it's called.


Has nothing to do with being "unfair", you don't know dick about what you're talking about.

It is ignorance. " I have never lived there" equals ignorant about CA. Pretty sure I just admitted that.

If you're going to admit about being ignorant about something, just STFU about it. You're not helping because you don't know jack ****.

Yeah, I understand the SALT deduction. It was bullshit. I don't believe we should have any deductions.

You have yet to prove that the tax rate is 60% in some places. I will believe it when I see it. (Also I was referring to the envy part)

I have never complained that rich people have money, and I rarely complain about income gaps. I don't care that people are rich. I care when rich people get systemic advantages to basic human rights over others, and I care about this countries economy and well being.

There's no places in the country that the tax rates are that high. NONe.

I know CA is a liberal state that ******* and moans way too much. I know that much.

Also, if the lefties can stereotype the south, I have every right to stereotype the west. You guys do the same **** and know nothing about this part of the country. Stop being a hypocrite.

Come man. Don't play stupid. 39.6%+13.3%+local taxes. You can do simple math.

I was talking about the income tax.

Right, so the upper limit is 40%. Exactly what I have been saying.

Okay. 52.9%.

No, because you're ignoring state income taxes.

Since I'm sure dino will red line it in the other thread, does any else find it "funny" that he says he wants a thread with no name-calling, yet calls the leader of this Country something just about every other post? That's far more hypocrisy than any of the other things that were pointed-out in here today.

please show me the last post where Dina called Trump a name.

Why you call him Dina? What'd he do to you? Or was that just a stupid mistake?

Is he incapable of defending himself? Is that why he red lines everything he disagrees with and you try to cover for him here?

Take your head out of his butt and maybe you'll see what other's do:

Lol. I've been thinking the same thing for a while.

it was a typo, stupid or not. I readily admit I have done stupid things in the past and I undoubtedly will do more in the future. That does not make me stupid.
I notice you didn't show me a post where dino called Trump a name. Couldn't find one?
I do not try to cover for dino. Matter of fact, there was a time when he was redlining every post I made here. I don't agree with all the post redlines dino does here, but its his thread. WIS doesn't seem to care, so why should I?
Okay, you and strikeout agree. Big deal.
My head has never been in anyone's butt, and if it was going to be in someone's butt I highly doubt it would be dino's.
Why don't you take your heard out of Trump's butt and you'll see what others do.

by the way, dino...no offense meant about your butt. I'm sure its very nice. I'm just not into that kind of thing.

That’s the top marginal rate. No one pays effective rates that high.

really? are you comparing rape and child beating to kneeling for the anthem? That's pretty stupid.

I am saying its stupid for millionaires to complain about anything.

And you and Strikeout moan about a potential tax increase for millionaires? Hypocrite much?

NO!! Name one time I moaned about that? ONE TIME!!! Do it. You are lying yet again. That is one thing you are good at. Idiot.
