Exactly. Our civilization is staying younger longer, which is why you have guys in their 30's sewing their parents not to kick them out of the basement. Our educational system and media has completely screwed these people up.

It's not even low expectations anymore. They're praised for this behavior, not just forgiven for it.

That is because a dependent society is an easily controlled society.

What am I missing here?

I have a couple sub contractors/employees and related or not, their pay is a business expense write off (and they pay taxes on that money because of something called a personal income tax). In a typical year I write off $40k-60k in contractor pay.

Literally, I offered my college aged daughter a job working for me (she declined when she got a job more in her field of study), and I would have written off her pay as a business expense, because it would be, and she'd pay taxes on that money, which would be her income not mine, herself.

A friend of mine is a General Contractor and flips houses. In a typical year he'll sell 2 houses for about $2.2M, but he doesn't pay taxes on the "gross", he expenses out his costs for materials and labor, insurance, overhead, marketing, etc. etc. So on a gross revenue of $2.2M he's only paying taxes on the roughly $350k he personally makes after all the expenses.

Are people just too stupid to realize that that's the way business works? Or am I misunderstanding something?

I agree. Give a man a fish and he will vote for you. Dependency, esp a created dependency is an ugly thing. Now we are getting a generation of these idiots.
Really would like to see homeschooling pods become the norm, as school is pointless and now it actually bad for you.

My wife is Mexican born and raised and she really hates the modern Democrats too.
She came here legally though, and has a STEM based masters degree, so is immune to the temptation of the “here’s some free stuff” carrot that they dangle for the illegals.

He is Cuban. Cubans know as well as anyone what a Communist uprising looks like. One of my uncles married a Cuban woman. Most Cuban Americans hate the Democrats.

Math is hard.

Also trying to focus all of the ire over the tax system as a whole onto the person of Trump as an individual may backfire bigly.

The Left asks, "Why is the Right so obsessed with philia," while using MSM articles to try normalizing it:

@Philo-Publius This is in my neighborhood, I love this guy! He used to jog around with a "Gays for Trump" placard on his back. Haven't seen him in a while....
