Finally some clarity. “Russians” aren’t being investigated for “interfering in the election” by running a media campaign as that argument made no sense to me since it’s perfectly legal for them to “interfere in the election”; everyone does it, including citizens, media outlets, corporations, nations, and so forth.
However, just as there are laws around how to operate a Super PAC, so are there laws around conducting yourself as an agent of a foreign power: The Foreign Agents Registration Act.
The Russians are accused of the same thing that Tony Podesta, Michael Flynn, and Paul Manafort are accused of; they failed to register as agents of Russia (Podesta), Turkey (Flynn), and Ukraine (Manafort), although the key words in the Russian case are “knowingly and intentionally”.
This still has nothing to do with Trump, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed for my TDS friends.

Attempting to explain why you can not tax the profits of a corporation, such as Microsoft, in order to finance an increase in government programs (spending).
Microsoft has already invested their profits in government spending in the form of U.S. Treasuries. Taxing Microsoft profits at a higher rate simply means government reduces their demand for U.S. Treasuries, driving up rates; in essence, government taxes itself. There is no excess “cash” that hasn’t already been deployed in the general economy.
At best, government won’t have to pay interest to Microsoft, since they would be outright stealing the money rather than borrowing it, but that’s about it.

New Bitcoin ATM installations are outpacing new traditional USD ATM installations. Private currency competition and decentralization is happening.
