Me. Oh, I did leave out that the post I responded to implies I'm a racist, too.

Originally posted by Jaecp View PostNo one denies Andy had a milkshake thrown at him
Brandon Farley, who is an associate of Andy Ngo and has worked with him, thinks the part where he got hit was staged. He notes that nobody who struck Ngo hit him in the face, but the back of the head, and that he didn't recognize the guy who did it and hasn't seen him since. He also noted it was weird for Andy to fly if he really sustained the injury he claimed.

--Sam
And yes, beating up people for wearing hats is worse. The democrats and liberals have gone nuts. They even held a kangaroo court to try to take down a sitting president after three years of trying. Riots, fire bombs, beating up conservatives. Accosting Republican government officials in restaurants and on the street. Trying to actually change the constitution to eliminate the electoral vote so a liberals in a few states can take every election and "disenfranchise" most of the states. Wake up Sam. The authoritarian nazis are the Democrats.

And why would an associate of Ngo recognize some antifa member even if he wasn't masked?

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostThat's what I meant when I said (was it in this thread?) that corporations don't pay taxes, they collect them. They simply pass the additional expense on to their employees and customers.
Payroll Taxes: Amazon employs hundreds of thousands of people making healthy wages. Amazon pays 6.2% of the value of each paycheck into Social Security, 1.45% into Medicare, and varying amounts into Federal and State unemployment funds.
Capital Gains: Amazon’s owners, the millions of shareholders, have seen appreciation in their investments over the past decade. As they sell their shares, they pay a capital gains tax of 15%. If the shares are held in an IRA or another non-tax advantaged account, the rate could be higher.
Sales Tax: At an average rate of 5%, which is probably an underestimation, $11.6 billion of sales tax was paid by Amazon on its $232 billion of revenue in 2018.
Federal Corporate Income Tax: $0 paid by Amazon. The company utilized tax deductions, like the deduction for research and development. It spent $22.6 billion in 2016, which was more than any other company in the world.That's what

That's notable and it's notable that a person who runs in these circles is willing to say it.

Sparky, these things last for hours.
You really don't have a good grasp on the logistics of these events
Where was Farley by the way? Is he in the video?
