I know, I heard you still wear your Vancouver Big Country Reeves jersey.
Quote: PokerGrinderLol there’s a throwback. No I grew up in the 90’s a Bulls fan and I still love my pathetic team as they rebuild for the 12th time.
So you ARE ZK??
Quote: BozNo comment on all the tax savings you benefited from last year? Not even a little Thank You to our incredible President?
Nope. Any tax savings I got last year were offset by inflation, tariffs, and the price of everything else rising.
The "tax cut" for the average American was a scam.
Sorry, I guess this isn't a political thread.

I thought insults weren’t allowed? Just kidding ZK
I think most 90’s kids grew up Bulls fans.

Mr trump didn't come up in my tax session.
Maybe we discussed what an idiot he is. Thats a common discussion in NYS and elsewhere
Guesd the 10 cents he saved me and other people doesnt outweigh the other crap
Must be frustrating to you but it's kind of like a husband who brings home flowers, then beats his wife. And the neighbor says "well he didnt even get a thank you for the flowers, how thankless"
A little good does not outweigh a whole lotta bad

Except Trump has not beaten us. He has looked out for the little guy. He has made a booming economy. He has gotten better trade deals. And he has gotten Mexico to stop letting caravans pour into the USA.
Tell me, exactly what part of peace and prosperity are you not liking?
He has saved most of us thousands on taxes. The people complaining that they did not save anything are by and large the same ones who said the "didn't need a tax cut" in the 2000s. Same ones who cheered when Obama raised taxes on the top earners. Higher taxes are the way they say they want it. Well, they got it. Now they complain.

Not seeing anything you are seeing except saving a dollar a day on taxes.
And yeah saving about $400 a year works out to about oh yeah, a dollar a day.

"Most of us". Not even close to true.
Businesses paid in 'more than 90 Billion LESS in 2018 than 2017'. Personal taxes paid rose '91 Billion' from 2017 to 2018. Source : yahoo.news. and that 91 Billion didn't come from the top 10% : THEY paid less. The rest of us - 90% - paid more (or got a smaller amount refunded).

A lot of honesty there, much appreciated. I'll imagine the .10 is a joke, but either you didn't make (report) much income last year, or have a bad accountant. Anyone making even close to the kind of money you claim to be making from the casinos saved over 10% in taxes in 18 vs 17. It's simple facts that can't debate.
Oh that's right, you didn't PERSONALLY make much and FEAR isn't about making money. It's you as Robin Hood and your Merry Band running up and down the East Coast on buses just killing casinos and striking fear into them, but not making enough money to have saved on your taxes. Let me guess, all of your Band are "independent contractors", right?
Then again, you always claimed to be a fiction writer. And you appear to be a liberal. Most believe in it until the end, except about taxes. Then it's always the 'other guy" should be paying more, not them.
Again, Thanks for the honesty, it's very telling.
Quote: darkozNot seeing anything you are seeing except saving a dollar a day on taxes.
Maybe you need to look around more, watch FNC or some other real news and turn off CNN. Mexico just started cracking down on the caravans. A very good thing. The Chi-coms are taking a little more convincing, but they have been stealing our intellectual property and conducting a trade-war on us for decades, time a POTUS acted in USA interests,

Not my fault you live in a high-tax jurisdiction. Out of curiosity, were you among those upset when Bush cut taxes in 2001?

GOOD! The top 10% are already carrying the country tax wise. And they still paid a HIGHER percentage than the average person. Did they get any extra benefits from that? Extra votes? Or just a pat on the back from Uncle Bernie?
Didn't think so, just more grief from liberals that they are not paying their "fair share".
Quote: ams288How the eff did “Nathan” turn into a Trump thread?!
One could say they have the same IQ. And both are F'ing with the American Public.

First of all, the size of the refund DOES NOT MEAN YOU PAID MORE TAX! Some news outlets imply a smaller refund is a bad thing, so the sheep think they are paying more. You have to look at what you paid, not what your refund is. A large refund is a bad thing as it means you loaned the government money interest-free.
Business paying less is a good thing! The USA had what, the 2nd highest business taxes in the world? Less tax paid means businesses will repatriate money and use it here. They will show profit more here and less in other countries. Let us not forget, it is THEIR MONEY, the government taking less is good.
Do you think that just maybe many people paying more is because of a better economy and higher wages?
Let us remember, many who are "paying more" is just places like CA who are finally paying their fair share, which I described why and how in an earlier post, please see there for detail.

Free health care? How do you get all those doctors, nurses, etc to work for free? How do you get the medical industry to share all the supplies for free? Please share, Obamacre is costing us a fortune here.

In NYS where I won an inordinate amount of jackpots they take out 37% if its over $5k.
I wound up with a decent refund actually after filing dependents and deductions etc. Bigger than I expected but I attribute that to the upfront withholding not to trump
Quote: darkozSo shouldnt this thread be renamed Nathans political corner at this point?

Nathan's Corner was always about whatever was being talked about, a "casual corner" thread. Why rename.
On an unrelated topic, I feel very strongly that 11. 15, 18, 24, and 30 will come up on roulette the next hour. Folks, get to the tables and cash in!

Not talking about refunds, talking about taxes paid and percentage paid.
Very simple for an accountant to show you what you would have paid each year under the old plan and the new plan. Not sure why your accountant wouldn't have shown that to you.
2017 Income $$$$$ Taxes paid in 2017 vs taxes you would have been with that level of income in 2018 without the new Tax plan.
2018 Income $$$$$ Taxes paid in 2018 vs what you would have paid under the old plan.
Not sure why anyone wouldn't want to see this before making a decision if the plan helped them or not.
Much easier to blame Trump, as always.
This is Nathan’s corner: https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/off-topic/off-topic/30926-nathans-corner/454/#post723265 Don’t let Nathan’s Corner die off. It’s the least we can do in these trying times.

Business should be booming for you here

And once again you make my point. You are too blinded by your hate of Trump to even care how a law may have benefited you. That is assuming you even paid any Federal Income Tax, like your years living in the streets.
But you turn it into rhetoric. Has to be a valid reason why you don’t care how the Tax Law affected you.
Any chance your hatred of Trump has anything to do with you or a homeless “friend” not be able to use the restrooms at Trump Tower?

We are talking about trumps taxes and your only real arguments are insults about my past and i suppose inferred insults that i didnt pay my federal taxes.
Obviously you have no legit arguments or you would stand on the strength of the argument and not need to resort to insults

You also sound like a person easily bribed.
So your argument seems to be if trump is a con artist money laundering fraudster you are okay as long as he saved you a few bucks on your taxes.
Thats like the worst reason to vote for him. Its called legalized bribery

I haven’t mentioned one word about Trumps taxes. I’m talking about my taxes, your taxes and everyone’s taxes.
And how most saved money with the tax cut. And it appears you either don’t know how much you saved or don’t care. Neither makes sense.
As for your current and former life, it’s fair game because you put it out there for everyone to see. It isn’t a big leap to assume you are a high income earner if you are “feared”.
As for your hatred of Trump, it’s a logical assumption people who made the life choices you have dislike his policies.
And I don’t see you as being insulted about your living in the streets, you seem to be proud of it. The rags to riches story would make a great novel by a writer. Oh wait.

Trump is neither a con artist, money launderer, or fraudster. The fact that you hate him does not make him any of these.
Who doesn't want to have lower taxes?

You probably dont have any real friends
See I knew someone like you. Whenever they became aware of another persons hardships, even strangely ones that occurred years ago, they would constantly throw it up in that persons face.
If their gf had just gotten out of a bad marriage every argument would end with "thats why your marriage failed"
People like that dont make friends

I just always found it amusing that she’d be scolded by admins for giving incorrect gambling advice or posting betting ideas that made no sense.
Yet there’s people on here posting about adding a bj hand to change a cold shoe up , pressing bets when on a hot streak , hit and run betting style , etc etc etc that are equally as absurd as anything Nathan posted.

I'm noticing a rather pleasant trend on this board. It appears that the most prominent of our right wing members seem to revel in the fact that they have no kids. Perhaps getting into deep middle age and realizing they failed at the one thing God and or nature put them here to accomplish is what drives them to be such weenies.
Thankfully, few of them will get a chance to inculcate tomorrows children. Mangia!

I absolutely revel in the fact that I have no kids.
There is not one waking moment in my life that I wanted to have kids. That is no exaggeration. I did not want to then gave up. Never wanted. Not for one moment. Nothing about raising kids appeals to me. I am very happy to be a cool uncle and show them a few things here and there. But that is the end of it. Changing diapers to little league to sending them off to college, no thanks.
What is wrong with that? I say nothing. Change my mind!
In the broad population, conservatives do have more kids than liberals do. Just no interest here.
