Clearly you are wrong. The tax cut means little to small business. The wife doesn't make billions and therefore isn't on the end of the business tax spectrum that garnered the biggest cut. It's state taxes, local taxes, property taxes, equipment depreciation, and that sort that is onerous. Not to mention regulations. All the things that Chump's giveaway to big biz doesn't cover. Next time, think before you write - you'll come across less of a buffoon.

You presume much in stating my votes. Without scrolling up to the post that details my vote, how did I vote and why in 2016? Or just more of your buffoonery?

I have worked in the small business industry my entire adult life, my family has owned the same small business for over 60 years, I am intimately familiar with how much in tax we were paying and what that dropped to, also what our health insurance premiums went up to despite the promise they would drop (I was never dumb enough to believe premiums would drop) so nice try. To the people that gave us 0bama for 8 years, I don't want to hear you bitching about how his policies put you out of work. get on board, out of the way get run over, because we had 8 years of someone with not much other than community organizing experience, now America is back open for business... well, maybe not your wife's practice, but for the rest of the country. MAGA!

first time since 2005 for three consecutive quarters at 3%+ GDP growth if the forecasts for Q4 2017 are to be believed.

Serious question. With the gains from corporate tax reduction that your small business has enjoyed, what are your company's plans for that extra cash?

Well, if he’s from Monroe County then the answer is easy - lots of menthols and Genesee.

This whole Wendi Deng working for the Chinese govt and influencing the Kushners story being pushed by the WSJ is just bizarre. Smells a little bit like Rupert getting back at the Ex

I'm going to give it to charity. What are you doing with your tax cut, Jeff?

What always amazes me is that you progs never give the required 10% to the poor, the homeless, or to widows. You guys think it is morally right to take my money by force and give it to your "charities" like Planned Parenthood. Nevertheless, I'm going to give my tax cut to a food bank.

Any of you progs want to step forward and say that you are going to give 10% of your net income to the poor, widows, or homeless?

I thought not.

#4 Mikhail Tal

Tal was born in Latvia in 1936 and known as the Wizard of Riga for his inventive, swashbuckling, and brilliant play. He became world champion in 1960, and never repeated, but holds professional chess' first and second longest unbeaten streaks. He enjoyed a long playing career and became stronger with age despite his various illnesses. His highest ranking was 20 years or so after he won the world championship.

Tal, known for hard-drinking, smoking, and carousing enjoyed a winning record against Bobby Fischer and Mikhail Botvinnik - along with several other world champions and top players. He died in 1992 at a Moscow hospital from esophageal varicies - a hemorrhage of his throat related to his alcoholism.

AA are there any good chess docs on Netflix?

I don't know about Netflix, but I have seen all but two of these, and they're all worthwhile.

Not on the list is one called "American Gambit" - although I like it because a segment is about a friend of mine.

Unlike your Mexican beer bullshit, your chess player posts aren't awful, AA. Way to hit your ceiling!

BTW, in the "Game of the Century" Fischer video, I got exactly zero moves correct, BUT I was did actually say WTF when the dude moved his black bishop instead of his white bishop to e2. Still got it!

According to a calculator I used, I'm not getting one.

What always amazes me is that you progs never give the required 10% to the poor, the homeless, or to widows.

Another sweeping generality with no basis in fact.

"required"? .......maybe in your world or religion. Not in mine.

Still curious about Kapture's corporation and what they're doing with the benefits of the corporate tax reduction.

High praise, indeed.

Of all the patzers I have played from 20 years of message board bullshit, you were actually one of the stronger, more intuitive casual players.

And Pacifico is a perfectly quaffable beer.
