The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I never want to hear MAGA or GOP talk about fiscal responsibility, ever again.
The national debt is gonna balloon under the Dump(ster) fire.

As a Country, we are going to have to decide if we want any services from the Government,
if we are willing to pay for anything. People are going to be in for a rude awakening.
I personally like having a maintained highway system, roads and bridges, reliable
electricity, OSHA, FDA, things like that ( and many more ). Norquist and the boys
want to do away with all of it, and a bunch of citizens are salivating over the thought of
it.

No hiding for the W2 folks, they'll get taxed to the fullest extent possible. But
any of the so called Capitalist will just loophole their way out of paying every
possible cent that they can get away with. It'll still cost them bribes and lobbyist
fees, but way less than they'd pay with a fair and enforced tax system.
