State of the Union

:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

DAMM! First five minutes and the stooooopid sonofabitch is doubling down with his foolishness!

Still making partisan "progressive" campaign speeches - now adding populist foolishness and making excuses.

Great for Republican election chances but bad for the country.

Slightly surprised that the Republicans are sitting down but amazed that many of the Dems are sitting on their hands, too!

I hate the forced standing ovations by the president's party. Hated it when the Republicans stood for Bush, hate it now when Democrats stand for Obama.

Convention speeches, Inauguration speeches, SOTUs, I never watch them anymore, Conk or Donk. Haven't in years. All they are is generalities, platitudes, fluff, hot air, etc. I want specifics and details. And you won't get it from these staged dog and pony shows, so why watch? Its a waste of time. Save yourself some time and just read about the highlights later. :coffee:

State of The Union

Post by AZGrizFan »

STILL blaming the previous regime for the next 10 years of multi-trillion dollar deficits.

WAFJ.

He should be embarrassed. As commander in chief he's violating IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE WORLD the #1 rule: Assume the watch, assume the problems.

Surprisingly enough they haven't shown her in the last 15 minutes (that's all I've watched). :?

That was one hell of a long winded marathon with some nuggets but lots of meaningless rah-rah. Did you see Harry Reid yawning in the first ten minutes?

If they sell capital assets then yes, they pay capital gains tax just like the rest of us.

Also, so many small businesses in the US are LLC's now, which are disregarded for Federal Income tax purposes. So their owners pay personal income tax on the business earnings, which does include capital gains tax.

Real small business tax reform needs to come in the form of personal income tax reform and it needs to start on the state level in a lot of states.
