States' rights are dead on the national stage pretty much for better or for worse. Too much nuance involved in the idea for it to be discussed in the current climate. | ||

Pence started doing it too now lol. Pence selling this "everyone hating on the poor poor police" crap, not a word about the other side just "but our police tho". | ||

That his losses (potentially, since we don't know without him releasing his tax info) allow him to not pay taxes for several years to come. That he lost nearly $1B in the casino industry. Of course his supporters will explain how it was all legal and how it is for businesses to incur loses and continue to operate. My father owned his own business, at one point it was the 3rd largest residential roofing company in our state. He then did a job for a large hotel chain, who, like Trump, didn't pay any of the people they contracted work out to. After they strung him along to complete the job and got all the work out of him, he got nothing. Point being, what is 'legal' and what is morally correct are not always the same. My question is do people think Democrats just found out about this now? They didn't care when he did it, just when he was in the way of them being in the white house. This type of stuff has actually gotten worse under Obama. http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/tax-advantages-landlords-married-real-estate-professionals.html | ||

As a non American, if a president present a certain general policy even if it is not supported by law, like "we need more community policing" is it generally follow by the states or at least the states that are governs by his party? Or does the state feel independent enough to just do whatever they want? | ||

If the national legislature did grant him the authority and he tried to do it, the states could sue like they did regarding the Affordable Care Act. | ||

This type of stuff has actually gotten worse under Obama. http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/tax-advantages-landlords-married-real-estate-professionals.html Frankly neither party has done enough to change it. You are right to be upset with the left though, because traditionally it would be a liberal principle to push to remove such loopholes. I don't think anyone is claiming that anyone just now found out that these things happen. | ||
