    There isn't a tax rate that would work well. There will always be some 3rd world country that doesn't have a minimum wage above $1. Furthermore, who's to say another country doesn't drop their tax rate in response to the US lowering its tax rate? These 3rd world counties have far more to lose...

    You do realize the effective tax rate that corporations pay is nowhere near the statutory rate, right? Take Pfizer, for example. Their effective tax rate since 2004 would be 21.4%. $50B in revenue annually over that span. How low does it need to go? 21.4% is nowhere near the 40% statutory...

    What exactly would be a competitive corporate tax rate?

    To some extent this is true, but even absent taxes and regulations corporations will still opt for the closest thing to slave labor that they can find. Not like the effective tax rate is anywhere near the statutory rate in the first place.

    Couldn't a trade deficit exist for a country simply based on a higher per capita income relative to it's trading partner? Or to put it another way, couldn't the trade deficit be a reflection of purchasing power? County has more money to spend (to be read as, "population is better off") than...

    That really is his plan. He knows people, they know stuff, and everything will work when the time comes. Shit, he promotes all these geniuses he knows so much I'm considering trying to figure out their names so I can write one of them in. Well, provided I was going to vote.

    Saw an article recently that 33% of Bernie's supporters will not vote for Hillary. See how it holds up. Most people have their mind made up on party alone, this election is a perfect example of that.

    Mosley: Jerry's blind loyalty to Romo could doom Cowboys again

    Re-nup may be more fitting. Who would have ever thought that restructuring a guy for like 5 consecutive seasons could turn out badly?

    Mosley: Jerry's blind loyalty to Romo could doom Cowboys again

    It's easier for Philly to go after a backup because their starter fucking sucks.

    Archer: Cowboys face steep price to keep OL together

    His cap hit goes down because you're limited to 5 seasons when prorating bonus money. Of course it would go down in year 6 of a contract, there's no signing bonus money left and the restructure they did last year ends in 2019. Not design, but just how it pretty much has to be.

    I'd settle for signing quality starters. Shit.

    Maybe because there's a focus on a more readily apparent harm. If you're trying to make an argument against abortion based on the potential harm to the mother, you're fucking missing the boat. Pregnancy carries risks. In fact, the risk of blood clots during pregnancy is greater than the risk...

    Aspirin and NSAIDs can have serious complications. The risks of IUDs can't even be compared to the "harm" done by abortion. I dare someone to make such a claim with a straight face. As for vasectomies, sure. Have the fuck at it. It's permanent (or it's meant to be) so maybe some of the...

    Except not all forms of birth control prevent conception. There are a couple that work, in part, by inhibiting implantation of a fertilized egg. Colorado had a little experiment. Funded privately, they distributed the 10-year IUD (one of those that doesn't necessarily block conception, but...

    I think the real answer to that question would be that the government shouldn't be telling people what to do in any of those situations. Although I fully support them telling people not to walk around topless. Seeing old fatties with their tits on the ground isn't good for morale.

    The one she won had the most delegates. I think he only gained like 6 or 7 on her.

    Which goes to show that the only thing that matters is what team the candidate is suiting up for. Not even playing, just wearing the uniform sort of like the way Gavin Escobar does.

    Well that's the general theme with everything. More for me and less for everyone else. Smaller government? Damn right, just after we legislate who can or cannot live their lives according to their own terms.
