I'm using that argument and I'm not right or left...
It seems when someone is far one side or the other it's all the same... Intelligence gets lower the further you are to the edge.
Let's get back to the actual debate rather than saying who is intelligent or not. The fact is, I'm not a bot.

Hey, so far, you've agreed with everything I say. But you keep posting information in a cut and paste format. In this day and age with technology, I don't take anything for granted. You haven't been great at posting and then suddenly you're posting in this thread. So it seems odd. Yea, I know this is a hot button topic, but it seems odd. Carry on, though. I'm not offended by what you have to say. Free speech.

personally I think you're right. That's why I asked the question: "would you rather pay taxes on what you earn or what you spend". Seems like a no brainer for me. You posted what i believe trump is trying to do. but I don't know where you got your information from. Can you post that?
I made that proposal up myself (critique it, add or subtract from it yourself, please). It is basically my dream situation. I seriously think that if income tax was eliminated we would see true innovation and success that we have never seen before. I talk to people from all walks of life and some of the most intelligent people don't get to where they should be because of the thumb that going up in a tax bracket does. Just recently there was a guy I knew who backed out of a position in local government because the small pay that he was getting from it was messing with his veteran retirement benefits. He was perfect for the job and was doing it for low pay to boot. Income tax messes up society in ways that aren't even thought of.
I also think Trump is gearing up to get rid of income tax. He has publicly said so himself.
I like to format my text in a word processor then copy and paste it to here when I am posting something really long. I'm all about time efficiency because that is our most valuable asset. The more time I can save, the more things I can do. I started posting in this thread too because it is also about tariffs. As sign businesses we talk to a lot of different business owners so I think it is highly valuable for us to know a thing or two about the economics of our wonderful USA. A forest view instead of the tree view.

Just an observation. You don't contribute much to sign discussions but want to spew political stuff. I think there should be a rule that if you come here just to talk political, you get removed.
Did you use AI / Chatgpt at all? The reason I agreed with the bot comment is after reading your first few posts... I thought the same thing, it felt like an AI with the way things were summarized and laid out. Thats why I ran it through a AI checker... It said it couldn't find anything AI related, so I never mentioned it. It still looks AI to me... and to be honest, most bots are trained to carry on conversations and act exactly like you're acting now...
I think you can agree that your account being created in 2021, having zero posts about signs... then all of a sudden you start posting political stuff... is kind of suspicious. Theres Thousands of bots on forums and twitter parroting key "Hot topics" for both the left and the right... With the sole purpose of sowing discord between the left and right. I've been at 50/50 on whether you are one or not... But I havent personally seen bots, so who knows.
But it really doesn't matter, You can be a bot...you can copy paste from ChatGPT Or whatever - So long as your information is accurate. Take it as a compliment, the way your posts are formatted and written up have near zero errors, theyre neatly written, IF You werent posting so much other stuff in this thread and it was mainly the articles / searches and your proposal, I'd bet my last $100 you're a bot. But Now I'm more 70/30 against you being one.
After all this talk in this thread, I must be missing something because I am a dumb Canadian!!
So Trump wants to get rid of all income tax, ok great. Then get all the the income the government needs from tariffs, ok, sounds plausible I guess. But he also wants all goods to be made in the US which in theory should decrease imports, which also decreases tariffs. So how do they fund the government? What I am missing????
