Texas secessionists inspired by Brexit: Time for a TEXIT!!!

Oh yeah... like solar subsidies and stuff.... yeah us rightwards.

pfft... lawyers.

Oops, my bad. Make it "rightards." Autocorrect.

You really think Killeen would even exist without Fort Bliss?

 

[EagleSmack]

Is that an Army place?

I know Jacksonville would not exist without Camp Lejuene.

I forgot... a government saying they won't tax the living sh*t out of you is giving you a tax break. They are being so nice. I claim ZERO and still get taxed like crazy throughout the year and STILL have to cut a check to the Feds and State.

Um. . . yeah. Fort Bliss is the largest military installation in the U.S. (by population).

If you get some time, rent What If They Gave A War And Nobody Came. It's about the relationship between Fort Bliss and the nearby town of Killeen. Pretty funny. Where they get the weirdness of the town/base relationship right, it's hysterical. Where they get it wrong, it's even more hysterical. And when Brian Keith is advancing on the town in a tank, and a wimpy officer tries to talk him out of it, it's got the great line "Get your cerebral cortex outta the way of my monolith!"

Sorry, we ain't never gonna agree on that. A tax break is a subsidy. That's policy, law, and economics. I know you're all butthurt about it, ready to grab your musket and head for Bunker Hill, but that's the way it is.

If everybody has to pay 20%, and the government decides a limited class only has to pay 15%, it's a subsidy.

So welfare dependents and libtards don't feel so bad about being leeches?

Sigh. No, because that's how it is.

There's plenty of cases where a tax break is defined as a subsidy. That's fact.

In accounting, a tax break is listed as an asset. That's fact.

In policy, the government uses tax breaks to "subsidize (note the word) desired behavior," like the mortgage interest deduction to get people to buy houses. That's fact.

If you wanna discuss this, I'd be happy to. If you're just gonna be all Limbaugh about it, I'll check out and catch you on a subject you're willing to be reasonable about.

A tax break is predicated on the advent of revenue generation, specifically against profits.

A subsidy is not restricted by such and often is in the form of hard cash.... Can't say the same for tax breaks

Texas is sorta like Alberta.. residents feel independent from the rest of the country.. that's why you hear about Alberta separating.

Why leaving Canada makes sense for Alberta, and U.S. would likely welcome a new state

I think BREXIT may redraw the map in many different and unintended ways.

Alberta separation is more about economics. Just tired of being ripper off by a federal government that is only concerned about Ontario-East.

So, if it isn't an amount certain, it ain't a subsidy.

Interesting point. Crazy as a sh*thouse rat, but interesting.

'Tax breaks' aren't realized until said entity achieves a certain level of revenue generation (profits) against which the tax break kicks in. The end game here is that a level of financial performance must be achieved in order for the tax break to have any effect.

'Subsidies' are immune from this... And often in the form of hard cash

Yes, you said that. You seem to think that changes something. You're perfectly free to believe that.

Apology accepted

And that we all should clearly remember when he did.

Seriously though... you have to love how libtards point out that Red States receive more government funding giving the illusion that Red States/Conservatives are more dependent on the funding.

Well that funding is for government facilities, office buildings, and military installations, NPS locations, etc. We could go on and on what that funding includes. But I would like to see them cut off the personal and family entitlements to these states and see who screams bloody murder.

And as you drugged up reichtard porn loving delusionals know, the Red states do, indeed, get far more in welfare than do Blue states.
