I Have A Better Idea for Avoiding or Ending Shutdowns

Jim Bauer @porwest (112864) • United States 9 Nov

You know, I have to say, I applaud Senator John Kennedy's bills proposing that during future government shutdowns, lawmakers don't get paid. But let's face it. Is that enough? They're all millionaires in the Congress and in the...

I Am Still Confused

Jim Bauer @porwest (112864) • United States 1 Aug

The REASON You Charge a 29% Tariff on an Island with No Exports, Explained

Jim Bauer @porwest (112864) • United States 7 Apr 25

Why would the United States impose a 29% tariff on an island of 2,100 people with no exports? I'm talking, of course, about Norfolk Island, caught between New Zealand and Australia, that has become a discussion topic around...

The Tariffs Aren't What You Think They Are

Jim Bauer @porwest (112864) • United States 4 Apr 25

The panic over tariffs and trade wars is really unfounded when you think about it, and I don't really think people are actually taking the time to really think things through here. Trump's plan has multiple working parts to it....

Stacey @xstitcher (39053) • Petaluma, California 25 Jan 25

It wasn't the greatest, but there were no bills--just an AARP magazine and a form for taxes. My step counter says 6,713 right now, so I'm happy with that. After I post this, I need to go and fold/put away the...

It Makes You Want to Stub Your Toe

Jim Bauer @porwest (112864) • United States 15 Jan 25

Are Democrats stupid? No, really. I often wonder about that. And I don't mean that to be mean. I am just calling out the obvious when it comes to at least certain things. Take the Governor of Maryland for example, Wes Moore....

Jim Bauer @porwest (112864) • United States 19 Aug 24

How many times do I have to explain it? About corporate taxes? How many times? Well, I guess as many times as it takes. You see, Harris has now proposed rolling back some Trump tax cuts. Namely the corporate tax and she wants to...

How Come People Understand the Consequence of a Tariff But Not a Tax?

Jim Bauer @porwest (112864) • United States 21 Jul 24

The left rails against them, and Trump haters like to talk about them. Tariffs. "Don't you get it? A tariff doesn't cost the COMPANY anything. It's an added tax on US! They are just going to pass along the cost of the tariffs on...

Stacey @xstitcher (39053) • Petaluma, California 4 Apr 24

I finished my taxes, and the screen came up telling me I'd "smashed it"--getting done in two hours and some-odd minutes (I guess that's compared to last year). When I went to file, though, it said I needed something to do with my...
