If Bernie Sanders raises taxes do you think the conference culture will still be able to afford their traveling as evidence of progress scheme? Ron
Oh right, my mistake, everybody gets some ICANN cash to spend on their trips and no ICANN traveler ever spent a dime of his or her own money on wine and cheese. Ron
Ron I can’t speak for everyone, but I can assure you that a LOT of people get little or no funding from ICANN and that a lot of us do spend our own money I’m not sure what your point is?

Since ICANN is a non-profit that pays no federal taxes, this question makes little sense. R's, John
I agree with John that Ron’s comment makes little sense. -- Robert Guerra Phone: +1 416-893-0377 Twitter: twitter.com/netfreedom Email: rguerra@privaterra.org PGP Keys : https://keybase.io/rguerra On 2 Feb 2016, at 12:08, John R. Levine wrote:

Bernie Sanders wins, ... and taxes are going up. Way up. I imagine our esteemed American Oligarchs are crying tears of woe this morning into their hundred dollar after-brisket soup, asking their servants to look for an easy way to renounce U.S. citizenship. I advise that they publicly claim to have distant family in New Zealand, so they can make leaving the "homeland" about that. Global citizens get along fine anywhere, so I trust they won't miss the USA. Americans won't miss them either, it seems our dear corporate leaders were too busy playing with their expensive toys to responsibly lead this nation economically. And it is amazing that the poor and middle class people here kept America going, carrying 40 years of fraudulent Oligarchy on their backs, which speaks to the honor, toughness and heart of the American people. Ron
I am still having a lot of trouble figuring out what this unlikely scenario has to do with the ICANN NOMCOM. For anyone unfamilar with U.S. tax law, in most cases sending people to ICANN meetings is a business expense, and one deducts business expenses from one's income before computing the tax.

For anyone unfamiliar with U.S. tax law, business expenses aren't refunded on a rolling basis, just once a year, IF the U.S. treasury can do so. In the new economic atmosphere of Bernie Sanders whose presidential inauguration is one year away, lots of U.S. oligarchs will begin to move their money out of the U.S., they probably already started that process. Let's do the math: 20 Trillion in debt (2017) - Less Billionaire Tax Money. ____________________________ Less affordability/assets for, and interest in, the conference culture, as U.S. oligarch assets are reallocated overseas. Why would there be less interest in the conferences though, wouldn't they still want to participate? While all kinds of people from all economic levels attend conferences, the conference culture was only invented to take the shame out of being super wealthy in an oligarchy, the so-called "progress" occurring at the conferences, was actually only "travel", a perfect illusion of progress, and the world bought that illusion. Part of the fun of the whole conference culture, for the oligarchs, was the pretending about progress, the fooling of the world as the world waited for tangible progress. But without a U.S. Oligarchy to provide an illusion for, without a world to fool, the U.S. oligarchs will lose interest in participating in the conference culture altogether in my opinion, instead spending their days enjoying New Zealand or whatever country they resettle in. They had their fun exploiting America, they will take their ball and leave. Sanders will win in New Hampshire by 15 ponts and will be the 45th President of these United States. The high taxes will be a "abdication of leadership penalty" on the U.S. oligarch clowns who collectively, purposefully and negligently failed at economic and social leadership. Ron
