I'm guessing you didn't live in NYC before, during or after his terms?

I'm guessing there will be immediate corrections and retractions in the news sources Kemp considers "reliable."

For heavens sake, will you please stop the government "creates wealth" ruse. The government does not create wealth. It allows private individuals to keep more of their wealth, which allows for capitalism to do its magic through innovation and creative destruction to create new wealth. PS, I doubt AOC understands complex economic questions beyond her stock soundbites that the rich aren't paying their fair share.

Whatever supports their point, because they don't know the difference

For once, try comprehending what people are writing. The rich are already paying a disproportionate amount of taxes. I was wrong in my estimation. It's not the top 5% that pays nearly a quarter, it's the top 1%. They also pay a higher proportion of taxes than their proportion of income. The bottom 47% pays ZERO. That's why it's easy for somebody that contributes nothing, but has a vote, to demand that someone else pay more.

The top 5% is already paying over a quarter of the income tax, while 47% is paying zero. That's why the dumb AOCs think it's a sound policy to have the rich pay more. When you're paying nothing, it's easy to demand that someone else build that.

When you know that I think incomes of ultra-wealthy are mobile, what do you imagine my position is on assets? What in the world does this have to do with incomes of the 1%

This has also been debated as naseam. When you reach a situation where half the population doesn't pay any income tax, that's when the populist danger zone hits. You cannot have a sound fiscal policy when half the nation doesn't participate and expects government services to increase. The rich have the most disposable incomes, but they also have the most discretionary and mobile incomes. It's insane to base a tax policy on incomes that may disappear or fluctuate wildly. There's infinitely more criticism of Trump from the conservatives here than there's been collective criticism of Clinton family or Saint Barack

The reality is that Pegulas know exactly what happened leading up to and including the 2017 draft. We don't. If your speculation of how events transpired is closer to the truth, then I'm sure that it has a major bearing on Pegula's attitudes towards the head coach.

No it is not. It is about the cockamamie claim that the rich don't pay their fair share, even though the rich pay a highly disproportionate share of income tax

We've had decades of debates about people who throw our percentages without providing or understanding the context of what those percentages represent.

Let me slow it down for you, the argument isn't about whether people should be paying taxes, but at which point do taxes become forcible confiscation of private property.

NBC is the reason that America thought that a second rate real estate developer (but a marketing maven) was a true business mogul. Now thy're trying to distance themselves from the fact that they gave him his biggest platform and are probably most responsible for his ascendancy to Presidency.

Surprised this company didn't make it to Greggy's roundtable (unless I missed it) A controversial startup that charges $8,000 to fill your veins with young blood now claims to be up and running in 5 cities across the US

Yup, because EU knows that if UK leaves, EU will die a slow and painful death eventually. This is a no win situation at the moment, because the EU is fighting for its life by making it very expensive for Britain to leave. In any event I can't see how the EU can survive in its current framework, because people are realizing they're subjugating their nations to unaccountable bureaucrats in Brussels. There are many economic benefits from a common currency and a unified trading block, but it doesn't work when a nation needs to move in its self-interest for whatever reason. It doubly doesn't work when that union is composed of tribes who've been fighting one another for millenia. Blow up the union, replace it with a multilateral trade and open border pact and work to replace the Euro with a cryptocurrency. But that would need a Trump-like intransigent leader to push through. Europe is lacking that right now.

That has been pointed out to Kemp several times, yet he's clamoring for his truth

Moving the goalposts yet again, I see. Now the qualifier is reliable sources. What qualifies as reliable sources? The large media outlets that have moved from reporting to editorializing? PS - the linked article is from last year, and the NYT narrative has gone through yet several more twists to arrive to where they are today, while all the small independent sites who've been tracking the story have stayed consistent - that the collusion allegations are a coverup for a major and possibly illegal setup of a Presidential candidate who then became President, and the setup grew in scope and complexity to cover their tracks.

To be fair, Jersey gets a bit screwed in income tax collection because a good number of its highest earners pay NYS and PA income tax, and Jersey only gets a small portion of the total state income tax because of the state tax credits.

How's your property tax in Macungie of NJ

Don't change the subject. What do these things have to do with the apparent Russian bankrolling of Trump's enterprises? Where's your proof that Russians did more than be interested in his real estate deals?

He can still RIF. They'd just get 1 month of back pay, plus severance

And that's where you are wrong. His financial "ties' to Russia start and end with condominium sales and potential real estate development deals. Nothing out of the ordinary if you take a dart and throw it at a board of countries with rich people in them. Those financial ties have been greatly exaggerated to drive a specific narrative, which you seem to have bought hook line & sinker. By that flimsy standard, Trump is also a Chinese and a German agent.

That's not what you asked in the follow up, because "truth" takes on very different meanings. If you want to know the "truth" about the Russia collusion accusations, then there's no satisfactory answer because the investigation isn't over. But you knew that. You're also being intentionally obtuse by lumping all reporters into the "everybody does it camp," when the issue is very specific to a very specific NYT article. Again, use your own brain to determine the truth that you seek. But take this to heart - which news outlets have continually changed their stories to fit an evolving narrative, and which have stayed fairly consistent to the original story line?

Disappointed that Strassel found Greenwald's piece fascinating. Wallace's dovishness subjugated hundreds of millions into servitude and tens of millions into early graves. As I've said before the only difference between Communists and Nazis, is that Communists had/have a better PR firm.

Why would he go to jail? He was a hero acting to protect America from the evil #Badorangeman
