Obama and Schwarzenegger‘sCalifornia solar plant Ivanpah To Close

[gator1776]

$1.6 billion in federal loans
$535 million in California grants
And it could not make money
Ivanoauh power $200 per kilowatt compared to $35 per kilowatt from a coal plant
Remember, this is supposed to be cleaner and more ecologically sound energy, sustainable energy yet it was also was very harsh on the environment killing thousands of birds and millions of insects

This is what happens when you let the government try and pick winners…

Had solar power been more efficient and could provide energy and a more marketable rate, it would’ve been naturally selected by a capitalist society decades ago!!

Ivanpah is the hole more than $1 billion and it’s about to close which means we pumped $2 billion into this solar plant that line the pockets of Obama and Schwarzenegger’s friends and we will never see a dime of that money back, we hurt the economy, and produced unfordable energy for California.


Again, the scariest words you’ll ever hear are, “we are the federal government, we’re here to help!!”

Yet @Illegal-shift wants to hire more IRS agents to take more of our money and give it to the federal government or the state government in California.

Hell, I don’t even mind paying taxes to have the United States federal government, provided that damn government works for me. And I also think we already pay more than our fair share.

Probably the biggest reason why we love Trump, we feel like the federal government for the first time in decades is actually trying to work for us.

That said, I tell you what, I’d like to have just 10% of my tax dollars back so I can invest it for my retirement instead of relying on the federal government.

The only way the IRS will take more of your money is if your a tax cheat. So I assume this is admitting that you are? Yes, I damn sure want the tax cheats to pay the amount they are required to under our laws, just like I do.

Your making the silly "defund the police" argument here and you don't even appear to realize it.

How much money should the sole owner of an S Corp be required to take as a salary? Does the code use words like reasonable? My reasonable and their might not align. It doesn't make me a cheat when they say my definition was wrong. It makes me pay more based on rules they make up as they go. Of course once they make up a rule its a guide going forward until it isn't. I am pretty sure such changes benefit the District of Corruptions money schemes.

So I have to hire an enrolled agent to make sure my reasonable salary is in compliance and as low as possible to take the rest as a dividend. It keeps you guys employed!

Might be less resentment if they stuck to their constitutional enumerated powers. JMHO! For sure it would be significantly smaller, the USPS might work properly, and our roads would probably be better. Just saying IMHO. But such a small gubmint would not need an income tax to function.

Again, only a zealot would argue that we already don’t pay enough in taxes to the federal government. Especially when staring at a beautiful example of why they don’t deserve as much money as they take from us.

And I would venture to say I pay more in taxes in one year than you probably do in five. In fact, there’s a 99% chance that’s true.

Zealots who think we don’t pay enough taxes are thoroughly ignorant of economics. Reagan was correct in that reducing taxes can INCREASE tax revenues. It’s called the Laffer curve in which 0% tax rate and 100% tax rate are both pegged at zero tax revenue.

I am all FOR maximizing tax revenue, but there has to be the RIGHT tax margin…. Not just stupidly and mindlessly increasing taxes. I believe based upon past basis point moves in income tax rates that we are too highly taxed and a marginal decrease would improve economic performance and likewise increase tax revenue

But NO Dem has ever recognized the effect of the Laffer curve or ever considered a feedback mechanism in tax rates ….. its too damn useful a tool for social friggin engineering
