What “historically evil epithets” [sic] are there?

Progressive should call themselves Projectionists.

That is nothing more than your opinion.

You’re right, it is my opinion that separate legal provisions for heterosexual and non-heterosexual marriage are illogical and unconstitutional.

Still waiting to hear what “historically evil epithets” [sic] I’ve used to dehumanize people here.

I was mostly referring to the left charging people with racism, bigotry, division, calling people fascists, Nazis, referring to our president as Hitler, so and so forth thereby diminishing the historical meaning to describe the evil those words are associated with.

YOU personally, used a hyperbole that is very much in line with the above.

Pilot killing taxes?

So, referring to legal concepts is “hyperbole,” and “historically evil?”


What the hell are you even talking about?

It’s clearly way over your head.

Yeah, I guess I’m just too dumb to see how referring to a legal concept is insulting you with “historically evil epithets [sic]”

Holy moly this thread has gone downhill fast. Not that I didn't expect it to.

I just figured I'd chime it with facts/data if anybody ever decides to mine this thread.

I had a few major changes during 2018 that affect my tax liabilities, and in every way reduce my liability. Just looking at it YoY my effective tax rate would appear to have gone down by -0.18 to -0.24% depending on if basing the actual tax due on AGI or total gross.

However, because of the changes to my "tax profile" in reality my tax liabilities have gone UP this year and that is almost entirely because of not being able to take advantage of employment related deductions. This is to the tune of about +0.8 to 1.4%

Then to add more complexity to it, my income also went up. All in all for me it is basically a wash. Had I made 2017 what I did 2018 the little bit extra income in the higher bracket probably would have evened things out. But what I can say for certain is that my taxes did NOT go DOWN.
