Most people are probably watching football or at star wars, but hillary Clinton just said she wants to tax the rich 30%. You heard that right, 30 fucking percent! Gtfoh! The top 1% means anyone making 500k a year, you take 30% of that, you might as well work a regular white collar job! Yeah, that's a nice chunk of change, but The top 10% of America only makes 150k and up! Not exactly those rich billionaires is it?!?

Nice work bro, looking as dank as ever ;)

That's whack about Hillary, i wish they'd do the same here though, our rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, most of our middle class can't afford a house these days because the fat cats have more investment houses than they can poke a stick at, and they are negative geared to the shit house! A recent study in Australia says that our top 10% richest people pay no tax whatsoever! Fuckin capatalist bullshit!

Thanks bro :) I totally agree the true rich people need a higher tax, but 30% is sooooooo ridiculous! I mean, I don't even think someone making a million a year is that rich, with the cost of things now. It's definitely a nice chunk of change, and I make probably the top 90% of people, I'm poor lol! I think if you make like 10 million a year or more, well that's alot, but putting people that make 150k in the same bracket is not fair at all. Billionaires, that's a whole other ball game, but I still don't think 30% is fair, they should get a higher tax rate, but 1/3 of your pay is a huge chunk of money, I think 18% would be fair, and 8% for the normal people

I look at it like this. If someone makes 50k a year and goes to buy a car, it costs 20k.

If someone makes 200k and goes to buy the same car, but it costs them 30k, that is not right.

Many people that make a nice amount of money worked extremely hard to get to where they are and I just don't think it's fair for them to have to pay more for things which knocks their pay bracket down to a lower class.

Now those fat cats, those billionaires, that have a history of family from generation to generation making that much, that's different. That's not a single person that worked their ass off and made their dream come true. That's hand me down money and I think higher taxes for them is good for sure

Ahh rightio bro, sorry man, I misread what you wrote. Yeah, 30% of $150,000 isn't right. Should be a curve up to higher tax brackets. I already pay 32% tax here and I'm under $100k...the next bracket up for me is 38% and then once over $150k it goes up to 48%! Then we pay gst on top of that lol. Meanwhile, all our fat cats get richer on our taxes :(

Holy shit bro!! That's outrageous!! You should pay like 10% or less!! A curve tax rate sounds great, but start at 5% and I think 20% give or take for the richest would be good. The rich people here basically pay no tax, so 20% tax on the rich would be huge. I can not even imagine 32% tax for the regular working tax, that sounds like so much! Does that include free college and healthcare? Or any perks? Our tax is a lot lower but we have nothing as per free tuition or Healthcare

@AlphaPhase Yeah bro, makes it super hard to get ahead hey :( there's been talk of lowering our tax rates but it won't happen whilever these billionaires are raping the country! I agree totally mate, we don't start paying tax until we earn over $20k or something but then we start off at 18% or some shit, it's a total rort! We get free health care at the hospital but no college or anything else. Now our dollar is back so low, we can't even buy cheaper stuff overseas, everything adds up! And our govt wonders why our homeless rate is through the roof....wankers!

What they need to do is simply close all the loop wholes corporations get. There are quite a few huge corporate entities that pay no tax due to lobbying. Just need the rules that were already on the books actually applied!
Correct! Close the loopholes so it's fair for all. Our problem (and I'd say America's too) is that a lot of the rich actually fund the campaigns of the politicians and senators etc!

yea. Money and politics need not be so involved. If we really want true change in this country, make all political offices non pay volunteer work, no contributions allowed to politicans, and all bills to be under 5 pages long. But alas, big money owns this country. The branches of the government work to further their group power, instead of balancing eachothers, they are removing ours.

If I can pipe in, I'm with papa close the ferking loopholes that the fat cats use to evade paying
any taxes also increase capital gains tax for gains over 5 million, that won't touch any upper middle
class but will effect the uber rich. Then we can talk about our politico's getting into Social Security
they don't want to hear that. Our congress men and senators are greedy mofo's as NY has proven on
a small scale imagine what it's like in DC!
What papa says is the way it was in the beginning of this country, volunteer for a 2 year term and out.
We could go on forever but the only change will come from another civil war and I'm too old to deal
with that.
Democracy just can't last because of corruption history has proven that. :(

Back to important things, my Lambsbread clones are re-veg still hitting 100%
on the clones Alpha.
:peace:

Yeah maybe tax the rich a little more but 30%? Get real. They need to look at ways to stop people from taking advantage of the system. Like section 8 and people having 6 kids just to be on it. They make no effort. Or how about drug testing people on unemployment. A lot of Americans are lazy.

Those rich people are why a lot of people have jobs.

The fucked part is then the 2/3 you have left gets taxed ten more times before it is done too. How was your samples?

Totally! Spot on bro. It's like our federal gun laws, Obama wants to pass more gun control, yet he's not enforcing the exact same laws he wants to pass again that are already in at the federal level!

Wow bro, that sucks :( the free health care is nice, but still, those taxes are too much, I hope there's an overhaul for the tax system out your way, maybe someday soon things will be fair for all

@oldman60 totally bro, corruption has demolished anything that could have been good, back when Republicans were the real liberals, alot of good things happened. Civil rights, woman's rights, ending slavery, then something happened around the jfk Era, conservative Democrats, doesn't sound like a bad idea. I think we need an independent to fix things now. So glad your Lambsbread is kicking ass!!!

I thought the same thing, those rich folk to create most of our jobs, that's the good thing about it. I think some states are drug testing for benefits now, I think Maine is but not positive. I think I heard they had some success, but other states that tried had worse success, with only less than 1% failing and causing the stage to have actually spend more on the testing than they made by getting rid of the drug users, it's a tough thing, some need help but damn, those girls with 7kids from 6 different dad's, that's not what the system is for!

The fucked part is then the 2/3 you have left gets taxed ten more times before it is done too. How was your samples?
You got that right! It's a never ending cycle, I'd like the barter system back from the very old days. Loved the samples! Haven't had outdoor organic in forever so it was an excellent treat, got me and the ol lady nice and baked and watched the jurassic world movie :D

Yea...don't get me started on gun control ;)


They are all crooks and cons. Biggest and most dangerous gang = us government

Personally I don't think we will legislate a better future. The blood of patriots and tyrants is what it takes. A few generations ago our country knew that and paid the price. Its this generations turn.

I hear ya! We need a clean slate, start over, complete gov overhaul, no dem or Republican, because they both are corrupt now. It's a shame, and what really aggravates me is the whole, you must watch fox from the lefties and the oh you must watch ABC news from the right. Fact is, anything on the news is biased, everything on the news is bs, and no one realizes it, they think their side is the change we need without looking at facts of the other side. We need independent, one side is not going to do it and with the Democratic side throwing the Constitution out and becoming a totalitarianism, we can not have that right now. Too many people like to think a new president is the answer, but that's the farthest thing we need to change. (insert serious yell face here)

Oh man, the mendo is so good, so stoney, couch lock and munchie bud for sure! I'm sure other bud is as potent, but since it's new to me it's the most potent I have atm and I'd really like to grow more as soon as I can get some time to make a trip for clones :)

Here's my glue s1 babies. They are loving life right now! I'm stoked to have the hybrid vigor back, seems the glue lost its steam a long time ago, I'm really hoping there's something special here so I can swap out the old glue for a fresh new glue pheno. The structure seems way better than glue, even though it's early to tell, it looks like I have 2 different phenos

I got the tray out in the flower room disassembled and empty, I just need to clean it up and I need to desperately take a trip to the hydro shop because I'm almost out of nutes and can't flower these until I get some more :( they are just about ready to flower

Awesome bro, that is great to hear! I wish I could get access to these clones :( lol.
Those Glue S1's are looking very solid mate, they should turn out nicely for you :-D
I can safely say my grow is completely farked, we had 39 degrees celcius yesterday and I went out to my grow box and found temps were 49 celcius :( all my seedlings look burnt and very unhappy. I'm thinking of just flowering them out now so the lights only come on at night time..this heat is not conducive for growing :( I have a feeling the heat may have contributed with the pH and nutes, to my issues before too! Man, I just want to grow my personal smoke, this is just ridiculous!
