I thought we should bring some attention to this.

    I was, in fact, talking about both The Netherlands and the U.S., which I just explained to you and you apparently didn’t read.

    Maybe this is why you seem to be the only one confused about what I’m talking about.

        Since they currently can’t seem to tell the difference between one country and two countries, I’m thinking more like tequila.

      I was, in fact, talking about both The Netherlands and the U.S.

      So why on earth were you so confused that you thought “the only two options were ‘only the U.S.’ or ‘every country in the world.’” Neither of these two options includes the Netherlands.

      Maybe this is why you seem to be the only one confused about what I’m talking about.

      No one is confused about what you are talking about: we all know you can’t talk about the bad in any country (at least in the EU) without at least shitting on the US too. It’s just a lot of other people are just like you.

        Your question makes no sense. I was talking about two countries. Therefore, it was a geopolitical issue.

        No one is confused about what you are talking about: we all know you can’t talk about the bad in any country (at least in the EU) without at least shitting on the US too.

        Then that should be easy for you to prove. Please do so. Unless it was a lie. Was it a lie?

          So, billionaires not paying their fair share is just a US/Netherlands issue? If not, in your attempt to weasel out of what you said, you’re just confirming my point that you can’t talk about another country having bad shit without shitting on America.

          Then that should be easy for you to prove.

          lol. You said that everyone but me knew what you were talking about. . .but now when I assume what everyone else knows, I’m lying. Pretty safe to say your accusation is a confession. What’s good for the goose…

            Untrue, what I said was:

            Maybe this is why you seem to be the only one confused about what I’m talking about.

            Note “seem to be.” Because no one else seems to be confused.

            So, again, did you tell a lie? If not, please prove your claim.

              Sure, I lied. Happy?

              Now respond to the first part:

                It is an issue anywhere billionaires have to pay tax. Which is not “worldwide,” as you claimed.

                However, I’m not interested in talking to people who tell blatant lies about me even if they admit it, especially when they claim their lie is now their point, implying that it is not, in fact, a lie.

                Enjoy being needlessly combative with someone else.

                  Holy shit, is there nothing you won’t be pedantic about? lol. What a joke of an attempt to avoid the point.

                  Anything to avoid the actual point.
