Remember, to them, "income taxes" means "money for black people." The military gets its budget from other sources, like import taxes, just like it did back in 1700's.

I am not making this up - I actually had one tell me this.

OT: Just read of 'Sweetheart Swindler', who has been stealing from the elderly since the 60s. law enforcement used tapes of her shtick to train authorities on what to be wary of. Didn't another home care provider in OH hire her in 2012(!), despite the fact that one could Google her criminal record. This time, she robbed the wrong old, as her victim caught on and is pursuing charges. You can fool some of the people ALL of the time.

If Trump is a economic "genius" for gaming the tax system--then O.J. is a legal "genius" for gaming the court system

Let's put O.J. in the SCOTUS!!!!!!

Also they are incapable of discerning the similarity between the "takers who don't pay no taxes" and the "Taker with the Red Hat who don't pay no taxes." They are basically cargo cult worshippers.

Wasn't that why he needed to borrow all those millions from the shady investors in Russia? And GIII-NA?

The thing is, major companies often own many similar businesses--the trick is to understand the marketplace, and to skillfully differentiate your products to that marketplace. Coca-Cola, for example, manages to sell Coke Zero, Tab, Diet Coke, and numerous variants on both Coke and Diet Coke, as well as Sprite and Fresca, Dasani and SmartWater.

In Las Vegas, the same business--I think the parent is MGM?--owns the MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, the Luxor, and the Bellagio. But Vegas has a huge tourism market, and those casinos are clearly, highly differentiated, with specific demographic and population and economic targets. I was actually surprised the same company owns them all.

Atlantic City, meanwhile, is a seedy poor cousin, and Trump, who revels in his own ignorance, no doubt opened three similar casinos, aimed at the same target customer, with no appeal, and then allowed them to cannibalize each other.

You forgot to add, after tilting the peons acting on orders, the banks then give the execs bonuses.

Is "Infowars Infowars Infowars" going to be the next big "Ba ba booey!"?

It's all they got. After decades of false outrage, they've used up all the plots. Now we got "Son of Whitewater", "Blue Dress 2" and "Return of Willie Horton".
