  1. Let em go. Our republic is better off without them. I’ve often thought it may be time for a divorce. Let them go at it on their own! If Oregon and Washington want to go let them! The eastern portion of those states would immediately petition to be part of Idaho .
  2. Never doubt the motive of profit and the public goodwill that will bless any company that develops effective treatment for this. And let’s not kid ourselves, any pharmaceutical company that can develop a treatment that can save lives, will deserve the profits and fame!
  3. I’m hoping that the pandemic peters out in the northern hemisphere as the weather heats up, buying us time to get our logistics and treatments figured out for a fall outbreak again.
  4. Well the middle class pay 0%or 15% on capital gains so there is that. Yes, a lot of middle class taxpayers have capital gains and losses. I see their returns every year. BTW how would it help the middle class if you raised the top marginal rate to say 65%
  5. Nobody ever paid 50 percent tax rate before the Reagan tax reform because of all of the loopholes allowed back then. Back then you could deduct all passive losses, and there were several types of tax shelters you could scheme up to generate losses. Reagan's tax reform created the concept of passive income and eliminated many loopholes while flattening the tax brackets and lowering the rates. Effective rates stayed about the same. The contract with America was in the 90s BTW and Reagan was not president then.
  6. What would you say should be the tax rate for the top 1%
  7. Judy's ten key. I stopped using my electronic 10-key years ago. https://www.judysapps.com/Calculator.htm
  8. That also happens to be the largest age demographic in our country Stats are fun.
  9. Most people who get this recover back to 100% with no long term issues within a week or two. The risk to the average person is very low. Stop being such a drama queen.
  10. I was not serious, it was my poor attempt at humor. To be clear I don't think that people should be having COVID-19 parties.
  11. Hey when I was a kid if one kid in the neighborhood got chicken pox they would have a chicken pox party with all the kids who hadn't got it yet. Mom's were different back then.
  12. Its not a bad idea really. I mean if you are young and healthy why not get it out of the way since we are all going to eventually get it anyway. Get it, get your immunity, move on with life
  13. Why can't the government give us a target number to achieve. Like for instance once we have x number of days of declining new cases we can turn everybody lose. We need a goal to work towards.
  14. Weren't you saying a while back that eventually we are going to have get this to build up herd immunity. Eventually they are going to have to turn us loose
  15. That's what @retrofade does. He was fully vested in the Russia Collusion delusion, fully vested in the Ukraine impeachment hoax, he has his full investment into this being the largest catastrophe the world has ever seen, and it its Trumps fault.
  16. I have been guilty of this I pledge to be better -bornontheblue
  17. Governor Little had a press conference in Idaho. Tax filing deadline was extended to 6/15/20 Not much else was announced.
