You actually have a greater need for efficiency under socialism because there are fewer people willing to put in the long hours at work.
[...]
Also the argument that we should be empathetic about them losing their jobs makes zero sense under socialism. The state will simply assign them new jobs.
People won't work long hours under socialism, but people will work whatever jobs they are assigned under socialism? You're going to have to pick one if you don't want people to know that you aren't actually thinking.

"Trump's vision of making America the crypto capital of the world"
Well, we first have to beat Nigeria and maybe Cambodia for that title. If the US dollar falls flat on George Washington's face, this vision will be made real.

That makes less than no sense. This is not unusual for you but I still have to wonder where you get your drugs, and how I make sure to avoid that source as what you're getting is clearly tainted.

"I don't care about Direct File. I care about direct audit for poor people", Fixed your quote for you Bill.
For or against? Because poor(er) people probably don't make (or fake) enough to warrant an audit. On the other hand, very rich people do, and are apparently very good at paying their accountants/lawyers to game the tax system in their favor. Rich people *definitely* don't want to get audited, but are the ones who should be and the return on the IRS time/effort would probably be worth it.

Turns out IRS audits of wealthy offer terrific return on investment for taxpayers

You're incredibly presumptuous and appear willing to just bullshit without regards to facts. So I'm done wasting time on you.
