Check the shares of Auto Nation, they are one of the biggest dealerships in the country if not the biggest. If any company starts making large profits, the government will find a way to take some of it

Welcome to American business. Regulations require equipment to capture used petroleum products and lubricants (and I'm ok with that). Most businesses are top heavy with management in my opinion, many times due to regulations (it's how government creates jobs in the US). Most large companies have shareholders and have a fiduciary responsibility to maximize profits.

Dealerships are typically not owned by the manufacturer. Selling new cars and trucks is typically not profitable for the dealership, only the manufacturer. The profit is made by the service department. Much of business in the US works by franchise or licensing agreements. It diversifies the risk and reward.

I don't think you're going to find many people on this forum giving absolute support to Trump. I support some things that he's doing, but there's a part of him I don't like or trust. He was just better than the alternative. The cackling hen Harris would likely have had us bombing in the middle east already, and that is something I don't want to see again if it's not necessary.

Could be, I don't think he's Armenian. His talking points and style is definitely similar to the Persians I've met. I actually like the Persians I've met

I think he's Persian, but I could be wrong

Regardless of political structure, the corrupt rise to the top. They do not care what form it takes because they seek power above all else

All society has a degree of collectivism, we merely debate the level that we are willing to fund and accept. Well written comment. The Torah is the foundation of Christianity, but as you wrote, with mercy

The look on Bush's face tells me he didn't think they would actually do it. I get the feeling Cheney pressured Bush into accepting the operation

Those are both Judaism. Torah vs. Talmud. The difference is everything.

I'll stipulate to many of your points and like to add that they are only letting a temporary tax credit expire. Schumer is the one who wrote the bill that let the tax cut expire that passed when Biden was in office and passed with Democrats in majority. Personally, I'm fine with making the tax credit permanent but keep the overall budget the same (cut from elsewhere). If we didn't subsidize half the world, we would have more than enough money to fund single payer healthcare. We really need to cut off the tap to the rest of the world completely and take care of Americans first and only Americans. I'm sure we have more common ground to meet, but we're not going to get there until both sides are honest. The real tragedy is that both sides work against us to steal our treasure.

There are no cuts. Grow up and get informed because you're sounding like most of the crap you read over on the Donald, but in the opposite direction. Nothing will change until honest information is disseminated from both sides

Those numbers don't appear large enough to buy influence. I heard on the radio this morning that all but 2 of the Dems that voted for closure are not facing reelection next year and the other 2 are retiring. They still need to vote on the measure

Not so far off as you might believe. Prophecy is in their favor, but it might be for a time long into the future. One cannot change God's timing. It will be when God determines and man has no say
