Wooooosh.

So you are apparently smart enough to read this article, but to dumb to notice the whole "Bay Area" part of BART.

"Progressive"? Maybe. Insane, yes.

Look at his tax plans:

1. If you are single and earn less than $25,000, or married and jointly earn less than $50,000, you will not owe any income tax. That removes nearly 75 million households â" over 50% â" from the income tax rolls. They get a new one page form to send the IRS saying, âoeI win,â those who would otherwise owe income taxes will save an average of nearly $1,000 each.

2. All other Americans will get a simpler tax code with four brackets â" 0%, 10%, 20% and 25% â" instead of the current seven. This new tax code eliminates the marriage penalty and the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) while providing the lowest tax rate since before World War II.

3. No business of any size, from a Fortune 500 to a mom and pop shop to a freelancer living job to job, will pay more than 15% of their business income in taxes. This lower rate makes corporate inversions unnecessary by making Americaâ(TM)s tax rate one of the best in the world.

4. No family will have to pay the death tax. You earned and saved that money for your family, not the government. You paid taxes on it when you earned it

And he claims "Doesn't add to our debt and deficit".

This is madness.

Personally I find women with vaginas to be the sexiest, that's true.

That's where you're going wrong. There is no evidence that slashdotters are anywhere near "the smart people in the room". The vast majority of them are opinionated ill-informed brats.

It's a desert topping and a floor wax.

Democracies can have many forms. Republics can have many forms.

On of those forms is a republican representative democracy, that's what you've got.

What kind of ill educated fool thinks there's some contradiction between being a democracy and a republic?

So you're planning to take the one action that ensures that they can and will ignore your wishes.

Smart.

RTG's are not the only nuclear power sources -- look up RORSAT and the BES-5 reactor.

You can't build a wall because most of Florida is on porous rock -- the water just comes under your wall.

Various right wing loonies in the UK like to whine about "immigrants", conflating immigration from the EU, immigration allowed from outside the EU by the UK government and refugees (who are always described as "economic migrants" even when they're clearly fleeing persecution).

What they don't like to talk about is the immigration from outside the EU, allowed by their own government, is the largest part of recent immigration. (And the UK lets in a ridiculously small number of refugees).

Which explains how the European Parliament threw out the Santer commission, rejected ACTA and chose the president of the Juncker commission.

The commission is the equivalent of the UK cabinet. It is answerable to the Council and the Parliament.

Learn to read you idiot.

guestapoo claimed "in Buddhism, there is no 'martyr', that is they don't encourage for 'be ready to die for your religion'." This is obviously untrue. And it's not "one act", it's hundreds of similar cases.

As for "'mob justice' is also not terrorism." I don't call lynching "justice" and it clearly is terrorism -- use of violence for political ends.

You must be joking. Just type "budhist imolation" into the search engine of your choice.

MITRE refused to allocate a CVE. It's not the number that's the problem, it's that they are refusing to do their job.
