Why do you think bringing US corporate tax rates in line with the rest of the industrialized world is a bad idea? The US had the highest corporate tax rates of any major power--forcing many to book and bank their profits offshore. That is no longer a problem. The rich get a slightly lower rate, but they also don't get to write off mega mansions anymore, which I don't need to explain to you since you are a landowner yourself.
The welfare state will collapse within my lifetime, not yours. There is no mathematical way to resolve it. Importing low-IQ illiterates to have babies while sowing the seeds of race and ethnic wars through identity politics is certainly not going to solve the entitlement crisis--which is upon us because a political party has lied consistently for 70 years and keeps denying the obvious fact that you cannot sustain a ponzi scheme.
You want to compare Trump to Nixon after Obama, and you cite Jeff Bezos--the richest man in the world? I'm sure Bezos appreciates your concern for his well being, but I don't think the richest man in the world really needs jimjam's sympathy.
The irony of this is that what Trump is alleged to have done is not illegal. Yet, leaking bank SARs is a criminal offense, which for some reason doesn't seem to bother you at all. Do you see now why people don't take your quasi moral argument seriously?
You mean, "Trump is crazy, because he thinks he was spied on so we need to use the 25th Amendment to remove him from office." These charges are from people who excuse Hillary Clinton and her ties with Bill Clinton and Carlos Danger--who wasn't simply accused of wrong doing, but was dead to rights.
I'm interested in what happens with this Russian company. Mueller may have really screwed the pooch on that one. We shall see.

They all signed "non-disclosures." He's just waiting for them to make up their minds and "jump into the fire." Time for another vacation Melania …
