The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

SALT deductions should never be restored.

Nope. And I say that as a blue stater (I live in Washington). Don't ever restore that.

Coastal smuggies love to point out how much federal money goes to icky red states while glossing over the fact that a) the income they earned isn't taxed as much as they say it should be and b) the reasons why their states are prosperous often have zero to do with liberalism. In fact there's a c) there that goes c) their states are often prosperous DESPITE their liberalism.

So, el nope-o. Let them continue to pay.

BTW. Vivek's right. Here's a start: implement a flat tax and cut the IRS down by 99%.
