Liberty Quote
The aim of tax policy is to generate economic growth. A rising tide lifts all boats. I don’t think that, as a general proposition, using tax policy to create fairness or equality works. To take money from the rich, money that they have earned because they have worked hard, is not by itself just, and again, if you take money from the rich beyond a certain point you’re going to create disincentives for wealth creators, and that’s going to have a huge effect on the poor as well.

New York ,grants asylum to the clintons and discredited Austrslian failed politicians soros and the u.n.criminal communist fascist globalists ,and assorted illegal immigrants . Tell me this are rudd giliard and turnbull illegals in sanctuary city? If not looks like New York accepts all sorts of rubbish to live there .
Great clip, Sinc. I blows youse a kiss from the mighty state of Texas! 💋
Thanks Calli.
It’s a very quick visit to the US.
Enjoy Prof Sinc, but I’ll see your New York and raise you a Sri Lanka and the Maldives (flying out this arvo for 14 days).
Wonderful timing, Your Doomlordship. On Tuesday night, you’ll be able to witness first hand the fallout from the 24/7 wrongology of the news media and their sample-stacked polling. Stay away from public places where mobs gather.
Meh. Party in Times Square. I ferkin derya.
I’ll be in the French Quarter of N’orlins. I think a Bloody Mary is on the drinks menu.
Tom – looking forward to it.

Doomlord, for the time you’re in the States, I recommend you follow Bill Mitchell on Twitter. He’s one of the grassroots drivers of the Trump Train, but he’s also a very astute analyst of sample-stacking in the MSM’s opinion polling. And — as in 2016 — he has no doubt about what is about to happen:
So, you’re on the Gold Coast then?
New York. Aint what she used to be according to Taki in his Spectator High Life column. He reckons its rooted. https://www.spectator.com.au/2018/11/a-love-letter-to-brooklyn-heights/
I still cant paste a comment in to the link box using brave.
Even though brief, enjoy!
Today on the Open Forum @ 1:40pm Steve Trickler put up a video which near the end tells of
the naming of New York City, here.
So awesome it had to be named twice. The definitive City on this Planet.
Haven’t been there since 1996, but have lots of wonderful shots of the WTC on film.
The best way to appreciate Manhattan’s magnificence is to hop on a good ol’ Greyhound in Noo Joisey, the destination being the 42nd Street Port Authority Bus Toiminal.
I tells ya.
You almost made me homesick, Sinc. I say almost because of the hassles I’m going through there at the moment. 🙂 I’d forgotten.
I detest that song.
Every wannabe big noter in the world uses it as their “theme song”.
Kill it with fire.
Gee, thanks Sinc, took me two hours to get back to the Cat after watching lots of Abba, Sinatra Larry King interview, stuff on Dean Martin and Sammy and all sorts of other diversions. Time for bed, later than I intended.Bloody sucker for tube sometimes.
Sinc, I enjoy learning about Economics from you and others here, and would buy you a beer/wine/sweet sherry.
Just not in a karaoke joint.
New York New York
