Who Cares How Much You Lose?

Leave a comment

The new tax reform plan is out. As expected, Chuckie Schumer and the Libbies are against it. And what it the major reason for the condemnation of reducing taxes?

‘It doesn’t soak the rich, enough!’

So what the Libtards are saying is that YOU, the Middle Class American Taxpayer, no matter if you are better off under the new tax plan, should reject it because the wealthy MAY get a tax break as well. Uh, so let me get this straight. If everyone gets to keep more of their hard earned money, that’s not a good plan because everyone gets to keep more of their hard earned money. What?

Let’s all take a knee and start chanting of “We don’t want more money, if they get more money!”

Even if you have absolute disdain for the high income earners, what kind of logic is that? Here’s an analogy. You are in a sinking lifeboat with your family AND a rich guy.  Everyone needs to plug a hole to keep afloat. Under Chuck Schumer’s and the Libtards’ logic, you and your family should chose drowning and refuse to plug any holes because you don’t like the other fella and you feel he should plug all the holes.  I guess that’s one way to SOAK the rich guy.

Vote for more Libtards in 2018, I say.  We need more of this great thinking.

Subsidizing The Disadvantaged

Leave a comment

This came to my attention from the good folks at Adafruit.com.

The Chinese company “Orange Pi” in Shenzhen, China is manufacturing and selling a powerful tiny computer selling for $35 US with some versions less than $9 US. It does 4K high-definition video, has 2 GBytes of RAM, WiFi, Ethernet, USB, and has a quad core processor running at 1.8 GHz.

Orange Pi is currently selling 40,000 units per month and predict sales to increase to 100,000 units per month by year end.  The company plans to sell 150 million units in the next 3 years. That dear reader is $5,250,000,000.00 (over $5 BILLION DOLLARS) in sales.

The interesting part is that the head of “Orange Pi”, Steven Zhao, in an interview with “Minimachines.net” states that the selling price of their computer only covers the cost of materials. In other words they are SELLING IT AT A LOSS and they are NOT recouping the cost to develop the computer (engineering), pay for the premises (offices or factory), pay for any capital equipment to design and manufacture, or pay for employees. When asked how they can have a business that loses money on everything they make, Mr. Zhao openly said “WE ARE SUBSIDIZED BY THE GOVERNMENT“.  That’s one way to quickly dominate a market and eliminate the competition.

Okay but that’s not all folks.  The fair trade deal gets better, at least for the Chinese.

Notice that I mentioned it costs $4 US to send the computer, over 7000 miles, in a box to the good old USA. It is delivered by what’s called an ePacket by the United States Postal Service. To ship the same package from the US to China would cost over $20!  How can they ship it so cheaply?

The United States Taxpayer SUBSIDIZES the shipping of goods from CHINA to the US!!! The Chinese appreciate the generosity of YOU the US Taxpayer!

Now you might ask, why am I subsidizing the Chinese manufacturers who are taking American jobs? The answer is that China, even though it is the SECOND LARGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD, is an “EMERGING COUNTRY” in the eyes of the United Nations run UNIVERSAL POSTAL UNION or UPU. China is lumped in with powerhouse countries such as Gabon, Jamaica, and Kazakhstan.  As a member in good standing with the UN, you the taxpayer get to do what the UN tells you is the RIGHT thing to do.

Raise your empty glasses (as you may not have a job to fill it) to the United States and China for creating another multi-billion dollar company, in China!  Don’t you feel all nice and warm inside knowing that you are helping out all those disadvantaged workers in China?

A Sign Of The Times, Part Deux

In the previous entry I mentioned that the Wisconsin company 32M is microchipping its employees. To be clear, the company is primarily in the vending machine business. The RFID microchips are manufactured by another company and 32M is reselling the technology.

Who makes the RFID implants? With a little looking about it turns out that a company named “Biohax” makes the implants.
I also mentioned in my previous post that an RFID implant would be useful in a “Bernie Sanders’ Progressive Socialist Utopia“.

Take one guess where “Biohax” is located.

Sweden! The country “Feel the Bern” considers the ideal model of socialism.

The United States MAY SOON end up as some sort of a strange socialist state.  Well more than HALF OF ALL voters in the 18-24 year old age group look favorably on socialism (58% in a poll earlier this year).

But the how and when we become socialists state is a discussion for another day.

Come on, avoid the rush, get your implant!
