			[9:04pm] jokeefe: uds
			[9:04pm] jokeefe: ids
			[9:04pm] admech: ahoy
			[9:04pm] jokeefe: James O’Keefe, Somerville
			[9:05pm] Malt: Sam Capradae, Worcester

			[9:05pm] hvxgr: Ahoy.. Tom Rodman (Milwaukee)
			[9:05pm] Joe: Joseph Onoroski, Lowell
			[9:05pm] jokeefe: anything to add to the agenda? I just updated it
			[9:05pm] Joe: Nay
			[9:05pm] Malt: nope
			[9:06pm] admech: Nothing here
			[9:06pm] jokeefe: Decisions/Endorsements
			[9:06pm] jokeefe: GOP tax bill - thoughts?
			[9:07pm] Malt: it's fucking atrocious
			[9:07pm] Joe: ^
			[9:07pm] Malt: it's as massive an upwards transfer of wealth as the bailout
			[9:08pm] hvxgr: Went to small protest event in MKE outside of our senator's office - sadly small turn out.
			[9:09pm] admech: It's straight-up class warfare, but also not really an issue within our scope.
			[9:09pm] jokeefe: calls for certain Senators might still be effective since the bill needs to go through reconciliation
			[9:09pm] jokeefe: admech - https://blog.pirate-party.us/on-h-r-1-the-tax-reconciliation-act-of-2017/
			[9:10pm] Joe: I am honestly surprised this one is not more ill received\
			[9:10pm] Malt: same
			[9:10pm] jokeefe: “ push through a bill that will affect so many Americans in such a short time, without letting anyone enough time to read it or even present it properly, with so many obviously unrelated items added”
			[9:10pm] Joe: it goes to show who is controlling the gov
			[9:10pm] Joe: $$$ yo
			[9:11pm] jokeefe: it is a transparency issue
			[9:11pm] jokeefe: among others
			[9:11pm] jokeefe: should we articulate a position?
			[9:12pm] Malt: coming out hard about how the middle class "cuts" evaporate after a decade
			[9:12pm] admech: Oh, it's absolutely an affront to pirate and human values. I'm just not sure if we can do anything about it at the state level
			[9:12pm] Malt: pushing hard against the subsidization of private school
			[9:13pm] jokeefe: sorry, brb
			[9:15pm] jokeefe: back
			[9:15pm] Joe: welcome back!
			[9:16pm] jokeefe: The MA delgation is against it, but having a Pirate position on it serves to show what we stand for
			[9:16pm] admech: I haven't even seen the full damage yet, but there probably are areas where the state's going to have to cover loss of federal funding.
			[9:17pm] admech: jokeefe: that makes sense
			[9:17pm] Joe: We should be limiting our spending but not the rate by which we pay it off.
			[9:17pm] jokeefe: it removes deductability of state/local taxes, so it will favor states without income/property taxes
			[9:17pm] Malt: i'm extremely socialist and extremely heated about cuts to social spending
			[9:18pm] Malt: torches and pitchforks! torches! and! pitchforks!
			[9:18pm] admech: Seconded?
			[9:19pm] Joe: I am less socialist, but cuts to infrastructure already in place is never wise.
			[9:19pm] jokeefe: I am in favor of opposing it
			[9:19pm] Joe: I will also support it opposition
			[9:19pm] Malt: it seems lazy to say "irresponsible at every level" but it just is that
			[9:19pm] admech: Agreed.
			[9:20pm] hvxgr: "Force without morality" - I like to think repubs will eventually fail; but how long will it take?
			[9:20pm] jokeefe: and how many will they take down
			[9:20pm] jokeefe: ?
			[9:20pm] jokeefe: looks like we are in agreement about opposing it. anyone want to draft a statement?
			[9:20pm] Joe: They replaced a major party. I am sure they will be replaced when one of high moral code comes along
			[9:21pm] Joe: I am still booked solid, unfortunately.
			[9:21pm] jokeefe: well, it has been over 150 years
			[9:21pm] Joe: Demo's have been going longer
			[9:21pm] jokeefe: so they are long over due, for both
			[9:22pm] Malt: https://splinternews.com/all-the-ways-the-republican-tax-bill-will-help-rich-peo-1820981809?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark
			[9:22pm] jokeefe: thanks
			[9:23pm] jokeefe: I will put up a pad with a draft and send it out for comment, then.
			[9:23pm] Malt: here's a good thing though: http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/12/senate-gop-accidentally-killed-all-corporate-tax-deductions.html?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark
