I still honestly wonder how people fall for that whole routine.

Has America run out of builders due to chainsaw art accidents?

[Powder Miner]

Christie ate them all.

[PTTG??]

Trump/Sanders 2016.

It would be bewildering and quite possibly terrifying.

I, for one, welcome our new governmental overlords.

Same as the old overlords, just these guys are concerned about our health.

[Loud Whispers]

You know, you could google chainsaw art. It is a normal and not-rare thing. They use chainsaws to create rough-hewn statues, often of bears. These statues are about the only full-sized statuary that an ordinary person can afford, as well as cultivating a woodsy aesthetic, and as such enjoy a pretty nice market niche.

I've also seen ice sculpting using chainsaws.

Ahh, but you see, that's the genius of it all: They have their shell corporation loan their US-company the money it needs to keep running, and then pay all their profits out as tax-free interest repayments, along with, of course, taking a huge tax deduction on their terrible, terrible financial losses, so that they've got the IRS effectively paying them to send untaxable money out of the country.

The new rules will fight earnings stripping by treating the loan in the transaction as equity, which removes the debt-based tax benefit.

Nice!

Year eight of the Obama presidency seems to be the year of the executive order because congress is useless.

While the article has a point about Clinton lacking a brand, the whole status quo presidency ramblings are off the reservation.  Because of gerrymandering it is very, very unlikely that Clinton will face anything but scorched earth opposition from the house of representatives.  So it doesn't matter what kind of campaign she runs, a transformative presidency just ain't possible.  The article says "But a president’s greatest power is persuasion—and successful persuasion first requires an inspirational vision."  No, successful persuasion requires an audience that is remotely persuadable.  And the president's greatest power is the ability to run the executive branch of the government like Obama just demonstrated by changing the treatment of corporations trying to dodge taxes with offshoring.
