    I know that estate or death taxes are controversial topics as some (not all) of that wealth has been previously taxed, but that tax also has the side benefit of transferring (stealing) wealth from the wealthy and distributing to others via the govt.  It prevents the accumulation of wealth that will never be spent.

    estate taxes are an alternative to income taxes on the people to whom that money is income (the beneficiaries) who have not been taxed on that income.  it's a ginormous fucking tax break.

    The plutocrats don't realize that they're well served to prevent the people storming the castles with pitchforks.  It's in their own self interest to alleviate the wild inequality we see now.

    social services exist to prevent the poor from eating the rich should be civics lesson #1.  guess we don't teach revolutions well enough in history class.

    Especially a turkey sandwich the day after thanksgiving.  Mayo is essential.  

    And the super-stoner fries we had in Amsterdam almost 30 years ago that were served with mayo and fried onions were finominle.  

    day after thanksgiving is smothered with gravy.  no mayo needed.

    no, you need mayo for the tuesday-after-thanksgiving-and-we-still-have-more-of-this-fucking-thing-makeitstop sandwich.

    I knew a guy in college who used to exclusively wear pajama pants.  To class.  To parties.  To run errands.  Fucking everywhere.

    He was also one of those really annoying stoners who had wealthy parents that enabled his weird bullshit, but he always had weed so people put up with it for awhile.  He was from suburban St. Louis and couldn't go 10 minutes without mentioning that Albert Pujols lived on his street.  He was the fucking worst.

    you knew the derel?

    Lies really are the staple product of the GOP aren't they?

    Hearing Ryan decry partisanship the first thing that popped into my mind was his refusal to allow a vote in the house on a comprehensive immigration bill that would have fixed the majority of issues we still face today.  I even heard a retiring US congressman republican lament that the bill didn't pass.. because of lack of support from right wing Republicans and the democrats.  Which of course is a lie!  The reason that is a lie?  The bill would have passed EASILY if simply given a vote, instead the purely partisan ryan refused to bring it to the floor if he could not pass it with ONLY GOP votes.  Hard to get more fucking partisan than that.

    I guess when you have embraced so many lies for so long, and lied about your principles for so long, actually believing the lies you created should be expected.

    It's good news that the Cowardly Ryan is moving on to cash in on his fake principles.

    the demos should immediately pass that bill in january.

  6. So Hamburger Helper is Vic Mackey food?
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Is it on a plate with a banquet fried chicken leg, 4 french fries, mashed potatoes with shredded imitation cheese and bac-o's, and 6 shreds of lettuce with the same imitation cheese and fake bac-o's?
  7. Agreed that the real time inventory count is awesome...as long as it's accurate. I think it was Target that said they had something in stock only for me to get there and have them say 'yeah, that thing isn't accurate at all.'

    If it was a good deal on something, the employees purchased all the stock after you called. Never call.

     

     

    If it's not a deal, order online for pickup.
