>>743453428
Actually, you're kind of wrong.

And by kind of wrong, I mean 'You're an idiot."

The problem is that the rotation is pulling up energy from the gulf, which is fueling the storm...and it's just parked on top of Houston.

Furthermore, the most recent forecast says the storm is just going to meander back to the gulf instead of going inland (which would make it break up sooner).

Looks like Houston is in for a few more feet of rain.

Not everywhere but the antigun argument is really kind of shit.

What if there was another facist regime that took control?

We need protection from government tyranny and the right to defend ourselves.

It's been proven that areas with looser gun laws have less violent crime.

In my honest opinion, it's a closed book. And guess what? If people do start trying to take your guns that's a bad sign.

I own yep shotguns. The Swiss all own guns as everyone is required to join the military in the event of a national situation. You can own guns in a number of European countries to be fair. But you can't own a full auto gun though... That's hardly freedom is it?

You're not actually legally allowed to be racist though are you. I mean, if you discriminate against a person of race in an official way then you're fucked...so...

So let's talk about the free market reaction fixing itself anon.

Let's say that a business openly came out and made racist statements. Or had a sign up that said no blacks allowed.

How do you think that business would do? Why doesn't the individual have the right to publically make a racist statement and allow free market capitalism and freedom fix the problem itself?

By allowing a bad thing to have its negative consequences on the one who does them instead of having a nanny state enforce purely socialist strongarm commercial based karma?

Yes 4X the debt per capita than Texas with the highest tax rate of any state. Sounds like cali is going to be just fine.

Totally not a large amount of businesses leaving NY and cali because of insane tax laws or anything.

Not like fucking GE just left Connecticut for Boston or anything for the same exact reason.

Wrong. monopolies would strive in a free market, because, for the free market to work, it would have to be in a world of perfect competition, and where consumers receive perfect information. Two companies coming to an agreement to not compete, and divide up 'turf' or 'territory' is a good example of that, which is illegal because of the government.

it wouldn't have to be in a world of perfect competition. just a little competition would stop the creation of monopolies.

and i like said before, if a natural monopoly came about, there would be absolutely nothing wrong with it. they'd have to be offering the best products at the best prices, while treating their employees well. essentially impossible.

yes, because it's not the 1800's. The economy has been revolutionized countless times since then, mainly by technology.

The US is stuck in a recession because of "quantitative funding" aka bailouts.

Our economy is going to be extremely fucked because of Obama.

And it's not like I don't believe in the SEC and some basic market laws. However I don't believe the government should have anywhere near the level of interference they have had.

If they didn't then we wouldn't have the college debt bubble looming over our heads in the US and we would be climbing out of the recession, not stuck in artificially inflated recession.

>The origins of the student loan crisis have parallels to the origins of the mortgage crisis, Bair said. In both cases “very well intentioned” government programs made it easier for Americans to borrow for housing or school without getting a true sense of whether borrowers will be able to repay those debts

Government policy effecting the free market is usually never a good thing anon. They did this to give banks more debt power over students.

Ausfag here. Funny watching some yanks freak out about a little bit of a storm.

>>743461433
Are your companies in debt? How much do you pay in taxes a year?

Here is something to think about.

When we invent a technology to reduce or replace the labor of a person, such as farming equipment, which increases the productivity of a single person, theoretically that means that that person doesn't need to work as hard to feed themselves and others.

Now, if we use technology to replace a large chunk of all labor, that SHOULD mean that it is possible for a large chunk of people to not have to work at all, or for all people to work significantly less.

But while it's simple and straight forward to think that if 90% of the population once needed to farm to feed us all, and via technology we reduced the percentage of people who need to farm to just a few percent, how much productivity we produce via most other methods is much much much harder to figure.

Like, because of technology, we can mine tons of metal, we can harvest tons of ore, we can create tons of chemicals, we can produce tons of goods, but how much labor are we to expect to have saved?

I have no idea. Because of our free market economy, we have little to no idea how much productivity we really produce and how much total human effort we ought to be saving.

Our technology might be so good, we might only need to do 2 hours of work a day, and we'll be set. But we don't know that.

I occasionally wonder how, in this frame of reference, we would even start to begin to figure this out.

The top marginal tax rate in CA is about 13%, not 20%. That's assuming you're making over $1mil a year. Business taxes are much lower and can easily be shifted to zero with a good accountant and a few bullshit expenses and investments. You're talking out your ass.

CA tax rates aren't at 20%. Top tier is 13%. Most are much lower for an average of about 6%. Also, federal rates have nothing to do with CA, and they're also not 30% unless you're making a shit load of money. Even then they're the marginal rates, not the effective rates which are much lower.

You're implying that all decisions made by humans are rational. The same way communists imply that humans will inherently act in the peoples favor.

Fuck you're stupid. Those are PERSONAL INCOME TAX RATES. Are you fucking 12 or something? Business rates are completely different and much, much lower. Depending on what kind of business you're registered as you could pay as little as $1200 for $1mil in gross income. Sometimes even less depending on what type of corporation you are.

........ you're like, 12 or something right? No one, and I mean no one, who actually works for a living would even be this fucking stupid.

Okay, let me get my crayons out ...

Personal and business taxes are different things. CA income tax is higher than CA business taxes. Federal taxes are the same no matter what state you're in.

In CA the effective business tax rate for a "small business" would be slightly higher than the national average, but still not all that high. You're probably looking at an effective rate around 6% depending on what type of corporation you have. Some other states have lower rates, but don't offer the same kinds of services, locations, and hubs of industry that are available in CA. CA is a prime location for many industries, and because of that they're able to charge slightly more for it. Businesses aren't going to leave CA to save a few thousand dollars in taxes. They'd be losing a massive market to save nickles and dimes.

There, better?

TL;DR: You're either a kid, an idiot, or both.
