NYT/Survey Monkey Poll: Nation Now Supports Republican Tax Reform Law

Recovery Summer-- this time for real.

Support is at 51% overall (up from 37% in December), 89% among Republicans and 19% among Democrats.

Trump recently touted a poll from last week or so, showing Republicans now with a three point lead
in the congressional midterms.

Trump was likely referring to a poll earlier this month from the pollster McLaughlin & Associates that found Democrats ahead on a generic ballot for U.S. Congress by 45 percent compared to 42 percent.

Analysts believe the Republicans' increasing odds of holding the House are mostly due to a single Russian troll calling himself Johnny Eaglestallion who posts confusing memes of Jesus cutting corporate tax rates with a lightsaber.

29 Bill Gates says that people like him need to pay more in taxes. He does realize that if he wants to pay more in taxes, all he has to do is write a check, right? I think what he really means is that he wants the government to seize more of what he earns. To give away to people who say that they don't get enough of the free government cheese.

48 I did not read the NYT article but arithmetic suggests that independent voter support for tax reform must be in the mid-40 percent or so.

Will that mean he's going to vote for Trump in 2020 or for a Republican in 2018? Probably not. But it will probably make him less inclined to go vote AGAINST Trump. And that's 1/2 as good as actually getting a vote.

Sadly of course mid-terms often make no sense, the out-of-power party benefits no matter how loathsome, marginal, and unpopular they are (see 2006). But this is looking much, much more 2002 than 2006, so far.

For true believers, or at least those who are simply significantly to one side of the political spectrum, the most you can hope for within a cycle, I think, is decreased engagement. Less money and time spent trying to get the person they will inevitably vote for to win.

The vote won't change, but their effort to influence other people will.

101 Bill Gates was behind a 2010 ballot initiative in the state of WA to impose an income tax on "the rich". Shockingly that failed 65-35.

But what I never got was why didn't Gates just send the state of WA $100M every year? With or without a state income tax, I'm sure the state would have welcomed Bill's gift.

110 Support is at 51% overall (up from 37% in December), 89% among Republicans and 19% among Democrats.
Trump recently touted a poll from last week or so, showing Republicans now with a three point lead
in the congressional midterms.



Never forget. The fucking pussy lapdog pukes in the GOPe fought this (like every other Trump initiative) tooth and nail.

She also volunteers at the local Planned Infanticide orifice and has a sticker on her Subaru SUV that says, "Support Planned Parenthood." She's a retired Latin teacher and has become more and more radical as the past year has progressed. Oh, and she's never known a man, NTTAWWT.

I've taken to calling her The Butcher of the County. One of these days I'm going to say that to her face accidentally. Her only redeeming factor is that she's a Crimson Tide fan.

The only reason this mid-term, and Trump first term, aren't in historic territory is because the congressional GOP (mostly Senate) has simply decided to continue with their idiotic, useless, self-preservation strategy of zero politics, minimal accountability, and complete indifference to national interest.


It's clear now that the Dems will junk the filibuster in the Senate the nanosecond they get power to do so. GOP should have eliminated that months ago, and passed all the key items in Trump's agenda. Repeal O-care, end "sanctuary" lawlessness, other things - there would be no oxygen left for the Dems in November.

This ain't easy, but it's the way. Although I agree, if there are legal remedies to pursue, we are perfectly well within our rights to pursue them. Such as the Cake Baker.

278 True story:

I had my taxes done last Friday. (Up until a couple years ago I had always done it myself, but I'm intimidated by "electronic filing" so now I have to hire a friendly local independent tax guy to actually do the electronic filing for me.)

After he completed my taxes, he said, "Just as a point of comparison, I also calculated what your taxes would be under the new tax law that comes into effect next year. And...it looks like you would have saved $1200!"

I asked if he did this for ALL his clients. He said "Yes." Which strikes me as totally hilarious as this is in a completely anti-Trump liberal area, and everyone else he tells is probably deeply conflicted by the news that Trump is gonna make them personally richer.

I think he does this just to troll all his clients!

Gates is smart enough to know that $100m will be wasted in the course of remodling 3 bus stations and buying 5 miles of train tracks. His own organization can accomplish far more with his money than government can.

He wants everyone else's money taken to be spent inefficiently on government make-work projects.

The only deal was we had to rate all the equipment. Some of the higher end stuff rated worse than some of the lower end and visa versa. Many times you do get what you pay for.

417 What makes it better than the $200 rod? ( continuing the discussion from price theory)


I missed the price theory discussion, but I can talk about fly rods.

There are all sorts of variants in the way people like to cast a fly line: tip flex, mid flex, soft action, stiff action. It's a mix of what feels right to you.

Fly rod makers spend a lot of time talking about graphite modulus, whatever that means, but getting just the right feel is an art. I got a tour of the TampersandT facility from their rod designer. It's not a factory, it's a series of rooms in which artisans wrap graphite around mandrels and bake them in an oven. Then they attach fancy hardware.

Mine are old and cost $600 or so each, with a lifetime warranty (still a service charge when they break). They're $900 these days.

Fly rods are expensive for the same reason that golf clubs are expensive. In both cases, the expense can not make up for a lack of skill. A scratch golfer can beat you with a $100 set of used clubs. A good fly caster can make a $50 rod work, but there's a pleasure in using a really well made rod.

Guessing it has to do with the gun control movement abroad in places like England. Just about the only legal reason to carry a gun there is for hunting so civilian guns must conform to that purpose.
