Black Unemployment Rate at Record Low

[downbeatplumb]

LOL< no, my customers are the folks who can get a job at a toyota subsidiary in rural america.  You know..not heroine addicts, have a hsd or better, will show up to work, can operate assembly apparatus...white?  That sort of thing?  

See, the gov stuff, that I do for -you- just offsets my operational inputs..and who wants to live like that, paycheck to paycheck or worse?  Not me, been there, never going back.  I actually do benefit from trickle down fantasies, but only because I'm not an honest hardworking american.  I;m a member of the landed caste, with generational money..that is worth more or less depending on how hard our government intends to fuck the poor on any given fiscal year.  So, when plebes like yourself get the greasy shaft, I have a bumper year...but I can't help but feel bad about it.


Picking winners and losers..........and I see you've abandoned your skepticism and said, in effect, "fuck automotive assembly line employees".......because when they can't buy my shit anymore, I won't be able to drink with abandon @ noon on a tuesday and put up 350 posts here on AF......but they won't be able to afford their bills....and that's when I buy up all their assets on the cheap.  Fun fact, I'm sitting here, right now.....on a former thoroughbred farm and I'm pretty sure the previous owner was having a heart attack when he signed it over to me for 30 dollars on the acre.  I do love a foreclosure.

It's a family tradition.  #MAGA

So maybe, for a moment, before you stick your foot in your mouth making excuses for trump and trickle down..entertain the notion that the person you're talking to is the beneficiary of fucked up schemes to protect their wealth at the cost of impoverishing the average joe, and not some dirt poor commie sympathizing welfare queen..... huh, peach?

So now your story changes - and I quote:

I'm a "consultant" well dug in to local, state and federal government. In the winter...I sometimes pull part time hours managing them as a production supervisor - because I have a higher level of education/experience and come from a more demanding industry (DOD contract manufacturing). I have the chops and contacts (nepotism ftw) to come and go as I please and set my own terms. They, on the other hand, are prisoners of their own relatively fortunate situations.

To make it relatable...you know those guys you see putting mosquito traps on ditches and taking samples from your watershed runoff and quantifying game fish pops in local waterways? That's me. GOV work

(NRCS, EPA,  RCDC)

 I operate a very small farm with a very specific clientele (predominantly the state).

So according to your own post, the majority of your work life has been spent feeding off income tax at some level (state/fed).  You have produced nothing towards the GDP until you began peddling tomatos to your wifes underlings.
Bravo I suppose...

Again, you claim to know what these underlings for your wife pay in taxes each year vs what they expect to pay under the new tax rates, but I straight up don't believe you are correct and became dismissive of your output at that point.  You have not seen their tax returns so you really don't know what you are claiming.  

And so far, Trumps plans have worked out well for me.  It doesn't bother me that its worked out well for people with more than I have.  It doesn't bother me that you have benefited. 

Oh, and its heroin.... a whole different meaning than heroine.

Trickle down economics does work.

Give the money to the poor is the way to boost the economy.
