#1 Here's a ready source of taxes. How about a small Federal fee ?

Surprise, surprise: Migrant remittances to Mexico and Central America are soaring

#2 ..IIRC a prior president recommended a tax on that to fund the Wall.

#3 Washington Post blasted over editorial that suggested cutting veterans' disability benefits

...It. Is. Coming. This is the same way they let us know thirty years ago that we and our dependents weren't entitled to medical care no matter what the recruiting brochures said, and who you gonna believe - us or your lyin' eyes?

They will go after the military retirements after that, though I'm sure the GS retirements and disabilities will be quite off limits.

#4 since 1945, when most veterans worked jobs that required physical labor, So they can get computer jobs, right. The premise here is the disability is to augment paychecks. It says nothing about what it costs to be disabled in America. While America is the most disabled friendly country in the world, The costs for the disabled is staggering. Just get a vet thats missing a leg to explain taking a shower, or a crap. Then listen to him, or her, explain how they deal with leg maintenance, bone infections, etc...

Maybe we should tax reporters that drivel stupid shit int the papers. Of fine them for their lies. UGH...

#5 And the Bastids in Washington tax 85% of my Social Security and have screwed me on how much mortgage insurance I can deduct. I don't remember the exact amount but if I pay less than that I can n o longer deduct it. It was raised from last year. I also now pay more medicare from Social Security.

#9 The person who desperately wants Iran to nuke Israel, wiping out six million Jews (plus the unmentioned tens of millions of Arabs, etc. who live among them and downwind), and who claims to have lived in our midst for years on the profits of sales to American customers because his homeland is too corrupt and violent to remain there once he could afford to leave

Yes, the conglomerate using that name really is too f-ing stupid. Or possibly upset because they reached senility sooner than planned

#10 @#2 - And I believe that same prior president wanted to overhaul the VA and make it easier to fire the lazy and incompetent chumps who "work" there.

#11 This was explained to me in very simple terms. They don’t hate the military- they hate us who have served in the military.
