I don’t believe Charles Koch is rooting against America but it seems he and I are rooting against trump’s chaos

I’ll bet you didn’t bother to read the article. Read about a judge requesting to speak to a mother on a plane to Honduras and being refused. I believe the judge
So you want a strong military? How bout clean water? Safe food? Safe drugs? Safe airtravel? How bout TARIFFS? You seem very excited about them. Hell, without government, “doc” could be operating on you.
I can see how you might think that if you feel disenfranchised and left behind. Hope springs eternal. But trump isn’t going to help you. We’re now a global laughingstock
I wear clothes mostly from target now. I don't need to wear formal or semi formal clothes very often anymore. But when I do, I wear nice stuff. A suit from Penny's or Sears stands out like a sore thumb and shouts "loser" to your colleagues.
umm, trump has been in 1 quarter and add is negative. strong work

Hart is an American company . it's still has a plant in Illinois. Not sure about the factories in Rochester NY and Hamilton Ontario. You get what you pay for. Their stuff lasts. It looks good. Fits well. so who do they compete with? Hugo Boss comes to mind. Even more expensive before tariffs but shouldn't any consumer be able to choose between the two? This is so far removed from bedrock American principle of free enterprise it's sickening. and the maga's call us socialists.
What job do you have that is vital and irreplaceable by a AI gameboy?
and b man and blitzkrieg will continue to blame Biden for any future economic problems...
$600 for a Hart Shafner and Marx suit coat is normal. You can buy one at Dillards in the mall. A tailored, high quality shirt is $90. Why should king trump be the only American able to wear nice clothes?
you posted grossly misleading tax figure. simple as that.
assume an individual aerages 40k per year over 30 years or 1.2 mil lifetime earnings. if half of that is spent on untaxed housing or education or medical care combined, that leaves 600k at 8% =0.08 48k in sales tax. the number you posted is 10x that. you're smarter than this. was gonna say you're better than this but decided against it.
the median income pays no where near the lifetime tax amount you posted. it's purposefully misleading like so many maga narrative`. the majority of tax revenue is provided by the top 10%
from my link above
For example, the top 20 percent of Americans earn 52 percent of the total U.S. income, but pay 87 percent of total income tax [source: Saunders]
yes, but in the US, the largest source of government revenue and to the top 47%, the largest tax burden. Once again, illustrating to class struggle that trump is parlaying into power.
average income is a bs metric. the wealthy are very heavily overrepresented. Median income would be much more meaningful. this is virtually meaningless. A very large percentage pay no federal tax at all
