Once you start ranting against the meaning of words in the English language, you've pretty much lost it. It's reprehensible to be prejudice against anyone. Just because there are some women out there prejudice against men or some blacks prejudice against whites in no way justifies your own...

The very definition of mysoginy is prejudice against women. If you don't believe in equality for women, you meet the definition of mysoginy. If you don't like that definition, go on a quixotic quest to change the meaning of the word, but don't blame those who call you on it. Whatever you call...

I would challenge you to a battle of wits sir, but I see you're unarmed.

President George H.W. Bush signed the NAFTA agreement on Dec. 17, 1992. Just in case you're not familiar with the U.S. Presidents, this President Bush preceded (that means came before) President Clinton, and was a Republican (a very good one at that). Free trade was always a...

We agree on that!

The dude said.. Clearly he's a racist, misogynist, so yes, he's saying exactly that. That's the kind of thing we have to deal with in the U.S. these days, luckily most of them will die off in the next 15 years or so. BTW, I'd be surprised if he could find any of those countries on a map, let...

We're splitting hairs here based on what the OP was asking, which was a way to earn money tax free based on their locality and some silly auto-key clicking software. BTW, I'm not sure how the Irish tax agency would know or report that Soros has avoided $13B in U.S. federal, state, and local...

The OP is talking about pure investments, so anything MSFT did or is doing is absolutely irrelevant to them or anyone else here trying to avoid taxes on investments by forming an offshore investment company because of the way the tax code is written (actually we've drifted to talking U.S. tax...

I'd very strongly recommend the paper trading account. I thought I'd hit a gold mine with that same concept I can see you're following but in practice it didn't actually pan out. If you're trying it with inverse or leveraged ETFs, keep in mind you'll need to rebalance daily because they return...

MSFT is an operating company, U.S. tax code is very specific on overseas operating vs investing companies so that's an apples to oranges comparison that will get you nothing but trouble. I'd also hesitate to do my tax planning based on what you read on Breitbart about how the guy they view as...

I like the concept but I fear in practice it will be a problem, plus there's the precedent issue and I think nearly everyone agrees an actual transaction tax is a horrible idea. For example, I seen in the European proposal "market makers" are exempt or at least taxed at a lower rate. Which makes...

Are you in favor of a cancellation tax?

Actually among U.S. military officers I'm a pretty typical story, absent the entrepreneur part. I realized as I thought about our conversation that this is probably a case of a big difference in how the military is perceived in an involuntary service country vs a voluntary service one. Your...

Sure thing, I graduated with high honors with an electrical engineering degree and went to work 80 hour weeks making $25,000 a year in a pretty dangerous job so I could go to the whorehouses next to military bases. And subsequently started two successful businesses because I like not having to...

As I said, I'm happy to defend you if you thank me or spit on me, I pretty pointedly never asked anyone's thanks, hopefully I made that crystal clear. We have an all volunteer military in the United States, and the decision to serve is a deeply personal one with a variety of aspects, none of...

So you accuse me personally of being biased because I supposedly "reaped great benefits" as a United States government employee, yet you not only know nothing about federal service in the United States but aren't even a citizen or resident! And now you have the gall to say "But don t worry...

If you don't live here then wtf are you doing on a thread about U.S. regulations pontificating about how biased U.S. government employees are? If you do live here, you display the self awareness and petulance of a 5 year old thinking that everyone should hand you a safe, prosperous country and...

Most people say thanks for your service. Some spit in your face. I put my life on the line for both. And once again you seem stunningly unaware that military members don't choose what they're told to do, our elected Congress members and President do. And in most cases we don't even have the...

I was a military officer, does that change your view of me as a "pro federal government" ranter? Explaining that federal employees don't pass laws and that it's their job to enforce the laws Congress passed hardly makes one a biased pro federal government extremist, more of a middle school...

Here's a good realtor for you.. Just as a couple of FYIs: 1. You don't get to decide to live in another country, they have to decide to give you a residence permit. And you pay U.S. taxes on worldwide income until another country grants you citizenship and you revoke your U.S. citizenship. You...
