Well some don't already. And I'm sure Gates/Buffett/Bezos would appreciate it. Maybe this is an attempt to buy votes like student loan debt cancellation?

Up to 85% is taxable if you have other sources of income.
Edit: 85% of the benefits are taxed at your marginal income tax rate, not an 85% tax if that wasn’t clear.
I get your point on the abortion issue, but how long before that 15 week turns to 20, to 30, and then to full term? And make no mistake, abortion on demand at any stage is what they want no matter what they say.
As we’ve seen with gun laws and everything else, you cant give the left an inch because they’re just never satisfied until they have it all. The goal posts always get moved back. Chipping away at your principles, your rights, morals, or to get what they want is their MO. If the right keeps just moving to the left for the hopes of a W here and there, eventually we just become the left.
I'm sure that you'll agree, knowing it is one thing, having the integrity to admit it is another.
The sad thing is that the Left wears mental illness or whatever syndrome they are diagnosed with as a badge of honor. It ups their victimhood, and in their world that’s a good thing.They're just trying to piss you off. Makes them feel good.
You aren't just debating illogical "arguments," but veritable mental illness.
I don’t get it, and most anyone with a logical brain doesn’t. But to them it makes them even more special.
Which means the other 50% are walking around undiagnosed.
You'd be surprised. People in this part of the country know they've been exploited. You even see that from some here in the thread. Populism is on the rise in both wings of the parties. Among social conservatives and social liberals.
Yep, as Dion likes to tell you, "you were brainwashed to work hard and get ahead!" The dems are just gonnat ake it from you lol!
Kamala is starting her campaign off next week in Philly. Shapiro is more than likely her pick. I wonder how a white Jew guy will go over with the Muslims in Minnesota and Michigan along with Black voters who tend to not care so much for Jews in general.
Dion and Sam's hang up with Republicans is that they perceive Republicans as anit-gay. Outside of gay marriage and adopting kids most Republicans I know don't give a hoot about someone being gay. But we all know Dems are about identity politics which is why 95% of gays vote Democrat.

There are definitely some bernie supports in letcher co (mainly whitesburg), harlan, and bell. Maybe as much percentage wise as anywhere in the state.
Louisville has the most dems but they wont waste their vote as they see it by voting for a Bernie type. They just want to beat Republicans.

I can assure you outside of small pockets of support, Eastern Kentucky is Trump country. They're some hardcore Dem supporters that vote Dem regardless of policy positions but they're a dying breed.
That weirdo should never again be allowed to give an opinion on network TV. 🤦♂️
You're the fascist little mid wife passing laws and sticking your nose into complete stranger's uteruses not me.
What's your next job for controlling women's bodies??? Gotta be Maxi Pad quality inspector or maybe dildo designer?
Are you claiming the Commerce Clause would give the federal government the power to enact such a law? The argument is that the 10th Amendment reserves such rights to the states. The Court’s rulings on the Commerce Clause would suggest a federal law would be unconstitutional as an abortion is not an economic act, as the Court has defined that.
Like I said, populism on both ends.
It basically is. Just takes significantly less of it now. You only need a small hit instead of half a joint.
My best friend's boomer mom is like this. "My grand daddy was a Democrat. My daddy was a democrat and I'll be a Democrat." But personally is against abortion, BLM, and all of that stuff. So never mind that this isn't remotely the same party as your grand daddy had, let's just keep voting for it.

You smoked dope 40 years ago? Doubtful pup.
It’s not the same, as the THC content has been bred to be much higher by understanding the relationship between female and male plants. But, if you say drinking a light beer is the same as drinking bourbon, you just can drink more. Then, okay.
You could say that about a lot of the lefties on tv.
Not buying votes. Employees have social security taxes withheld from their paychecks and they aren’t allowed to take a tax deduction for this. However, they must pay income tax on this same money when they receive it many years later after they retire. Current tax law is unfair and needs to be corrected.
It’s in the for-profit healthcare system. The Commerce Clause covers nigh on everything; this court may be conservative, but they aren’t THAT conservative. Of course it could be regulated like any other economic activity.
Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying. The THC %s were generally in the low single digits back then for dirt weed(seeds, means pollinated). Now everything is sinsemilla(no seeds, unfertilized) and has been bred up, so a strong strain is generally between 20 and 30%. Same stuff, just need significantly less, just like I said. So many ounces of beer equals not as many ounces of wine equals even fewer ounces of liquor.
So does any of this nonsense actually fly, or get stopped in court, ever since SCOTUS clearly determined POTUS can’t just forgive student loan debt?
Biden administration unveils ‘major step’ towards massive new round of student loan handouts
The Department of Education is preparing to send out emails to tens of millions of Americans who may be eligible for student loan handouts later this year.www.foxbusiness.com
I don’t think there’s any way a rational person concludes anything except that they were trying to allow him to get killed. And they still say the election wasn’t stolen.
Yes. Given the complete swing, the amount of Bernie support still sort of surprises me. Then again its from a group that mostly pretty much grew up on the draw. The rest of the small pocket are just people who are anti both parties and they see Bernie as the way to undo it all
I hope you're being ironic. This started in 1984 when President Reagan signed the bill that was overwhelmingly supported by both parties. So, for 40 years, SS income has been taxed. Since earned income is subject to SS tax and you don't receive a deduction, it amounts to double taxation when benefits are received.
That system is badly in need of a total revamp: limits on income that is taxed is dumb, 3 and 4 individuals drawing from a single taxpayer's SS benefit is stupid, COLA increases ad infinitum means, if you live long enough, you'll take 3X+ more money out of the system than you ever put in (not counting your spouse, your divorced spouse, a minor on disability, etc.). The world's greatest Ponzi scheme: every dollar collected is paid out in benefits currently (and then some) - pretty much the definition of a Ponzi scheme, right? I'd be all for privatization of SS but no one in Congress will ever go for it, imo.
Israel/Mossad is getting it done. A couple more.

Had totally forgot about all those losers.
From what I recall reading/seeing since '20 any election reforms and/or trying to clean up the process has come from red states.
Don't think a single blue state has done anything. May be wrong.
I think even Penn, with a Repub legislature, hasn't done anything with mail-in ballots, counting, etc. Of course they've got a Dem gov so if they passed anything I'm sure it got vetoed.
They really got JD Vance now, doubt he can survive what a 'law school friend' said.
