" Not sure why nine people find their effort sabotaged."

Probably because you were using Republican Math.

The room got less smoky by AT LEAST 33 cigarettes, and 51 cigarettes if the cold turkey couple smoked the club average of 10 cigarettes per day.

How TF does something get MORE smoky with LESS cigarettes, dumfuq?!?

"It's been a trend going back decades."

And you've played a part in it. Every time you've posted something and purposely left out the salient facts.

" THe whole thing looks set to come crashing down yet nobody in DC cares."

Which is EXACTLY what you voted for.

I mean, let's be serious for a moment: you are a contributor to this.

You claim all the time this is "100% self inflicted", but the truth of the matter is, it takes people like you to either come into a chat room and lie purposely, or to amplify other people's lies with your posts, links, and water-carrying.

A sizable part of the mistrust was part of your goal. Take credit where credit is due. Be a Proud Boy!

"Will they EVER reach a point where they recognize and acknowledge the massive problem they have and engage in serious introspection as how to begin to repair the damage?"
~Bellringer

What a coincidence.

That's the same stuff people say about you.

"Bondi looks like a petulant child with her responses."

That's because they weren't responses.

They were DARVO, as taught by Roy Cohn.

"...Mr Kamala wins in a landslide"

Fair point!

" You don't know that."

Yes, he does. Bernie would've been crushed. The opposition would've (wrongly) accused him of being a communist/socialist, and (rightly) accused him of wanting your taxes to go up BY A LOT.

It would've been a McGovern-style blowout.

"Lots of theatrics on her part today before the House. That's great."

Houston, I think we've found the problem.

"RFK already has a head start"

Well...a partial head start. Gotta subtract that brainworm food!

" But in nearly all highly selective private and public colleges (the 85 that accept 25 percent or fewer applicants) Black enrollment declined or remained flat"

Why is that a surprise? Frankly, the Macro Dial is turning exactly the way I'd expect: nearly zero "selective" colleges have higher black enrollment than before.

"...they believed Trump wouldn't send ICE into rural Idaho towns even though they knew they had illegals working there."

So when leopards said they'd eat faces, they were sure it wouldn't be THEIR faces...so they were okay with it.

"Crazy as that sounds, you can understand where they are coming from"

Dodge City?

"It doesn't disenfranchise anyone. "

Republican Math is a dangerous thing.

Stay in school, kids!!!

"How might China terminate ice hockey in Canada?"

Paint all the blue lines red?

The route for preparation with multiple states is federal first, then any and all nonresident states and localities, and finally your home state.

The last question in multi-state returns is always "How much credit will the Home state give for income taxes paid to each of the other states?"

Answer that question, and I'm done!

Every state has a claim on income earned in their state, either active (like salaries) or passive (like rent).

Every state also has a claim on all residents and all their taxable income. So if a KS resident plays football in Houston, he owes no taxes to Texas, and KS imposes a tax on ALL his income in KS.

The states must also give credit for any income tax paid to any state or locality which they would've charged taxes for. For example, if that Kansas resident plays in St. Louis, Missouri, he will owe state tax to Missouri, and city tax to St. Louis.

The state of Kansas then must give him credit for the amount of tax Kansas would have charged on that money. If Missouri's rate is lower, Kansas will give full credit, and charge the taxpayer the difference. If Missouri's rate is higher, Kansas will only give credit up to what they would've charged.

In other words, anyone who works in two states ends up paying the higher rate of the two.

"Pres Trump's massive tax cuts to billionaires"

100% of which represents NEW BORROWING. Trillions and trillions of it.

I wonder if our resident LAWFARE screecher will drop by, to call it the way he sees it.

ICE, new planes, retrofitting a Qatari gift, ICE...

Did I mention ICE?

"He doesn't get a salary. Thought Danforth would correct this."

Unless you're redefining the word, he ABSOLUTELY gets a salary.

What, exactly, was I supposed to correct?

"why would anybody need to file a state tax return for playing a game or multiple games in a certain state."

Because that's where the work was done, and the money earned.

BTW, that's EVERY state's default, if they have a tax code. The central tenet is WHERE was the money earned. If you're in Kansas, and design something for a company in PA, your work was done in Kansas, therefore they have claim on that income.

"Entertainers, athletes, even insurance salesmen generate income from work performed in multiple states. That doesn't require a state return in those states."

Yes it does, if they're doing taxes correctly, and following each state's tax code.

Most look the other way, assuming roughly the same amount goes FOR them as goes AGAINST them.

"I suppose it's a little steep to pay 15.5% state tax."

If that was the concern, annual SBs would be played in Texas, Florida, Las Vegas, or Washington exclusively.

Or, of course, New Hampshire, Wyoming, South Dakota, or Alaska. I hear SDS seats almost 19,400!

"Not a lie, but an equivocation."

Gee...thanks, Kellyanne.

" He makes 30 million a year, he works X days a year, he spend Y of those days working in California, he owes California Y/X income tax."

Not exactly.

He gets paid different amounts for different days.

He pays taxes on what he earns in CA. The only time "days" come in is when the number 183 is involved. 183+ days in CA, and you're a RESIDENT that year.

Otherwise, he owes taxes where he earns the money. If 20% is earned in CA, he'd owe taxes to CA on 20% of his income, regardless if he spent one day or 100 days in CA.

And if his home state has an income tax, they have to credit what was paid to CA, up to the rate they'd charge on the same income.

Beat me by 10 minutes!

RCade, could you please consolidate?
