yes it's not working and hasn't for years as the wealth is being concentrated at the top and income inequality is at records. No one said unregulated. It's not a binary topic. The excess wealth from this difference in consumption is often invested, but we have seen more and more lately that the elites use that money to invest in themselves and maintaining their own positions. Corporations use more and more of their profits for stock buybacks to increase share prices and less in new training, technology, and innovation. And in turn they donate huge sums to tax exempt PACs vs taxes. As the PACs promote their needs and prop up corporate tools playing politician. Are you saying PACs should be taxed? And agree on the last part. For the most part they bought these politicians through said PACs. And it's kinda full circle as the largest share holders in most fortune 500 are investment funds that are also most people's 401k and pension funds. Tax cuts for corporations and the wealthiest Americans inevitably lower revenues and increase yearly deficits Most corps are under ten people and main Street. When their rate is low they hire and pay more. The big boys just offshore to avoid taxes. And it's basic that if the corporate rate is higher than other countries, they move. See Ireland and Panama

It's kind of basic to a lot of folks. hard work equates to positive results. Bad actions equate to negative results. Where people drive the economy. Not state stimulus and spending bills Functioning economic policies Just to name a few. But you run with the discredited sex card the alt left tried to attack him with.

The thing that doesn't make sense is they are not checking pockets. or Frisking. But bags only . So they are looking for large sized object. When the crimes that happen in the subways are mostly assaults and robberies. Murders with guns or knives. Neither would involve a large device one would need a bag for.

The military checking bags at the NYC subway sure reeks of intelligence of an attack. Vs stopping crime. Went from no cops to military infringing on the fourth really fast. Now hardening of the capital. The hardening of the SC last week? What chatter are they hearing

Cheap 1t option?

They ever release the names of the adults that committed the mass shotting at the parade. Taylor had Ice Spice in her suit, plane and stage. So racist. Melina Rachel Reimann was born on September 18, 1972, in East Oakland, Oakland, California, U.S.[4] Her father, John Reimann, was "a union organizer and self-proclaimed Trotskyist."[4] Her mother is Linda Fowler Blackston; she was raised by Oji "Baba" Blackston. Her paternal grandfather was Günter Reimann (born Hans Steinicke), a German-Jewish Marxist economist and member of the Communist Party of Germany

Ukraine says hello.

C jones is a 3 tech. We already have a great one in Oliver. we need a 1T.

The wealthy and middle already pay 90 percent of federal receipts. Massive federal spending and deficit spending are only making the problem worse. When people have money to spend, the economy moves naturally .. But there will be the point the fed prints money till it's with nothing It's not 1950 anymore. Lots of things being used to buy oil other than dollars. The current economic

They will do anything to override the will of the voters.

So 15 weeks like France just did. But the media called that a win for women.

Insane. After years of defund police. Now this

France goes from decriminalized to a 15 week limit is hailed by non western media. Western media and it's moronic parrots call the same 15 week limit, a ban.

They cut the police budget. Craft laws to make it impossible to get criminals off the streets. Then it's jumping to having the national guard infringing on everyone's rights. Vs holding individuals accountable for their actions.

the establishment GOP that doesn't represent the people are reading the writing on the wall. DEMS are big mad. those were solid DEM votes when needed for BS legislation and spending bills.

that's insane but explains a lot of what's going on.

have you ever heard her vlogs? you might need some good ear plugs or something.

personal tax cuts should come back. people spending creates less bubbles. Massive federal spending ends up at the top and the donors' pockets. Remove tax exempt from PACs and let the rich pay their fair share vs donating to PACS that then promote politicians and wedge topics that promote the system/spending that ends up right back in their pockets. the left talks of removing tax exempt from churches and doesn't want to cut cost. that would raise revenue. Many hear corporate, and they automatically go to the fortune 500. but 95% of corporations are small. like the coffee shop and mechanic on the corner. The global ones can avoid those cost by offshoring and moving HQ to places like Ireland and Panama. the mom and pop (majority), not so much. probably collect more revenue if the largest jump in our progressive tax quintiles was not right at the median household income level. Why does federal receipts jump from 12% to 22% right at median household income level? and was it always like this? https://www.irs.gov/filing/federal-income-tax-rates-and-brackets Tax rate on taxable income from minimum income up to the top. 10% $0$11,000 12% $11,001$44,725 22% $44,726$95,375 24% $95,376$182,100 32% $182,101$231,250 35% $231,251$578,125 37% $578,126And up The median household income is $74,580. The rich pay the majority of federal receipts. the middle gets squeezed. The poor, homeless, fixed income are just trying to survive with the dollar being worth less every day. Removing the cap on the debt back in 2023 was a horrible Idea.

The NYT reporter was probably an asset as many that work there are. and maybe even part of Pelosi's production team. or its just another example of the FBI partisan biases.

My bad. I thought you taught city kids. interesting to read how that's moved onto the privileged class as well.

your comment disproves your last sentence. The Eighth Amendment generally applies in criminal proceedings, as the most common locus of government punishment, but the Supreme Court has held the Eighth Amendment ’s prohibition on excessive fines can apply in civil forfeiture proceedings, noting that the text of the amendment is not limited to “criminal” cases. 6 https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution-conan/amendment-8/overview-of-eighth-amendment-cruel-and-unusual-punishment#:~:text=The Eighth Amendment generally applies in criminal proceedings%2C,amendment is not limited to “criminal” cases. 6 United States v.

never knew that the Dossier sub source was suspected of spying for Russia. Dont remember that in the cycle. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/24/steele-dossier-russia-doj-421536 The declassified footnote states that Steele’s primary sub-source “was the subject of an FBI counterintelligence investigation from 2009 to 2011 that assessed his/her documented contacts with suspected Russian intelligence officers.” It does not, however, say what the FBI ultimately concluded about the sub-source, who has been publicly identified in the New York Times and other outlets. Though Horowitz’s report found significant errors in the FBI’s applications for those warrants, which were granted and renewed four times, he made no judgment on whether the FBI’s initial request to surveil Page would have survived otherwise. But the Justice Department has since rescinded two of the renewals based on his review. So far, Durham’s investigation has led to one criminal indictment. An FBI attorney involved in the Page surveillance application, Kevin Clinesmith, pleaded guilty last month to doctoring an email used in the bureau’s representations to the court reviewing the request. Igor Yurievich (the lying Russian sub asset) Danchenko (born May 5, 1978) is a Russian citizen and U.S. resident currently residing in Virginia who works as a Eurasia political risk, defense and economics analyst. Together with Clifford Gaddy he analyzed Vladimir Putin's 1996 university dissertation and presented examples of plagiarism.[2] In July 2020, Danchenko was revealed to have worked for Christopher Steele's Orbis Business Intelligence as a source for the Steele dossier. In November 2021, he was indicted on charges of lying to the FBI about the identities of his sources[3] but "not about the information [in the dossier] itself".[4] He was acquitted of all charges in October 2022

Probably big fan of scrubs or ER back in the day.

Absolutely not. outside of sports, I don't watch TV anyways.
