I kinda miss Hugh Hefner

They don't say why they dislike Trump but they can't say it's because of his attitude to women as their Dad was also a womaniser.
Was this entire thread just a roundabout way for you to attack the sons of Hugh Hefner for being vocal critics of Donald Trump?

No

I like Bill Clinton even though he was a womaniser. Why? Because he balanced the budget and oversaw peace between Israel and Jordan, and Israel and the PLO.

I like JFK as well because he ended segregation in America.

And why do you like Hugh Hefner?

I never considered paying tax an Imposition, even the year i paid 4 million, I'd earned it, tax keeps the country running, so i paid it. Funny how it's always the right who slag off the left yet are the biggest tax cheats .
Among my acquaintances, leftish friends also
do their best to avoid taxes. One guy even
had all his shops shut down by the state for
failing to pay taxes. He left his bookkeeper on
the hook for it. Liberals....not superior.

Good point. Many capitalists seem to dodge taxes, regardless of which football team they pledge their allegiance to.

If socialists had any taxable income, they'd
dodge taxes too. It's a human thing.
I pay my taxes, so I guess that makes me an alien?

It doesn't surprise me though that the US is so deep into debt, if everybody avoids paying taxes as you claim.

You created a thread with the title "I miss Hugh Hefner". So why do you miss him?

For one thing he reined in Kristina and Karissa Shannon : now they do porn.

Another thing, which isn't necessarily about missing him, but both his son and Kendra Wilkindon defended him when Holly Madison accused him of using her and "making her life hell"

In America it seems tax dodging is a national sport.

JFK and Clinton were widely criticized for being philanderers, and Clinton faced an impeachment procedure for lying over having sex with his intern.

I've mentioned it here before, but Christopher Hitchens was consistently scathing towards JFK, and the Kennedy legacy.

JFK is not someone I hold in high esteem. And I think you're overcooking it if you think he ended segregation.

I'd be more than happy to deep dive on him, but it would be a separate thread.

Clinton I have more mixed feelings about.

Labour (Britain's left wing party) had a budget surplus in 2001 and turned it into a deficit during an economic boom. Even bigger deficit by the time the 2009 recession came.

It's only because of the Tories the deficit was decreasing because they reigned in the spending.

John Major and the Labour Party both considered my family 'rich' and we had to pay tax on both our business and personal income; on top of that there's inheritance tax.

It was better during the Thatcher years

Thatcher was the one who destroyed our industries, in favour of the city get rich kids.
She financed it all from the North sea oil and gas bonanza.
And the sale of the family silver.
By the time she was chucked out by her own party it was all gone.

It's our yearly Olympics. Even the wayward shop owner
(liberal) who didn't pay his payroll taxes would often
lecture me about the "social contract" that we must
honor.
They take our tax money, & micturate it away.
They spend it on useless wars, & lifestyles of the rich
& famous for politicians. Services....I see little of those.
The IRS....it assaults us. I've been audited for many
years, even though they find nothing. Oh, the process
isn't free either. I see good reason to deny them as
much as possible.
