I am hopeful for the income tax going the way of the dodo, but I am not holding my breath.

Also all the fucking videos on why income tax is good will kill me.
 
Damn I guess I've just been lucky then.
It mostly depends on the individual airport. They hire locally (of course) and that has an impact on the "culture" that simmers at the checkpoints.

Orlando International? Downright good service from TSA. They smile, they're courteous and polite, they're fast, they'll actually banter with you like a human being. Even the non-pre-check line is pretty fast. Austin, TX's little Bergstrom airport? Just as friendly. Arguably friendlier if it's slow. I stayed (willingly) and shot the shit with them for a good half hour after getting cleared because I was early for my flight and nobody else was coming through the checkpoint. Salt Lake City was pretty good too.

Las Vegas? McCarran International (I refuse to call it "Harry Reid International")? Fuck those useless faggots with a six-foot cactus. Vegas brings out the worst in people anyway, but combine that with TSA "culture" and holy shit dude, you get god damn skin-walking demons. They probably cause more terrorist acts than they prevent. I shit you not, they've swabbed my mother's famous chocolate fudge every time I've flown out of there. They ignore me completely when they do it, offer no explanation, then wordlessly and unceremoniously plop it at the end of the table when they're done. They've never once searched for (or swabbed) any electronics I've brought through. Useless cunts.
 
It's wild that almost every kid who was a student under Obongo hates him because of the skimpy lunches. There's something to be said about starving people intentionally.
Obama did more to turn early gen z conservative than any other politician ever when he allowed Michael to pull that shit. I'll never forgive them for ruining taco Tuesday.

"Here's why making temporary government overreach permanent is ackshually good and you're a bigot."
"Top 10 things income tax pays for (It's all niggers)"
"Why the working class deserves less"
 
So serious question guys, what would Trump need to do to replace Income Tax? Tariffs are obviously one answer but what else would be needed to make up the 50 percent of federal income that is Income Tax?
 
These are the organizations that need to be starved of every single penny and it appears that will be addressed.
I hope to god this also hits those pricks who always seem to be out there off the coast of Africa for "research" whenever a new batch of niggers on a sinking dinghy show up and conveniently happen to have a vessel handy that's equipped for rescue operations with enough food to feed hundreds for days (despite only having a crew of a half dozen and no "research" equipment).

I’m in Vegas and fly about five times a year. Every time I go through TSA precheck I get attitude from the TSA flunkie.

A better question is to ask what needs to be cut from the feds to make that lower income work.

The people have to cut back all the time, why shouldn't the feds?
 
If we manage to get some kind of space station around Mars I expect the chinese to shit and piss themselves crying that they invented space rockets first talking about those little bottle rocket fireworks and shit.
I smug smile so hard when I see browns and slant eyes doing the "we invented it first acktually" cope.
Eh, it's not talked about nearly enough, but China's ahead of Russia in the current space race. They are however way behind the US (Read: SpaceX) specifically in reusables. They also have like 10 different companies trying to duke it out for the CCP subsidies, leading to a good dozen+ state used launch systems, all disposable. It's gotta be expensive as hell for them to keep it up, they managed to launch a station with them, one about 1/4th(?) scale of the ISS - that required four different countries to build most of. China spent all that money themselves and built it in house. They also did the first automated sample return from the moon in decades, and have managed to land several automatic landers while everybody else is still screwing it up. They aren't out of the rocket race, not even close, but I'd imagine they have to pull money from a lot of important infrastructure work to even do what they're doing, cause they aren't getting much funding for it outside of their own country. It's wild and I don't know how long they'll be able to keep it up.

Edit: Don't forget that they use super toxic fuels most countries stopped using over a decade ago, and keep launching inland which leads to rockets still full of toxic fumes falling onto towns.

The federal government having less money and power hopefully should be seen as a feature and not an error.
