I'm aware that they quit paying after so much (120k)?

It's easier to be on the offense all the time. Mike, you are now president. Besides massive cuts, how are you helping the bottom 25% of americans?

No, you idiot. They don't earn wages. The wealthiest earn dividends and use attorneys to shelter their income. So your argument about taxing the wealthy is disingenuous.

The answer to your question is by getting government out of the way.

A rising tide lifts all boats. The best way to help people is to give them incentives to chase the American dream, not make them dependent on handouts:

Slash regulations, free up small businesses by eliminating corporate taxes, getting rid of the income tax so S corps can prosper and hire the bottom 25%. Get rid of the fed, which ties up too much capital in this country and controls too much. Pay off the national debt and stop wasting/defrauding the treasury. Stop taxing gasoline, oil, air, anything generated by government that adds to the cost of goods. No more death tax. Kick out all illegals, who drain the treasury and steal American jobs and productivity. Stop LEGAL immigration for at least 10 years to allow the country to take a breath. We can't absorb the ones coming in now. Make it illegal for anyone in Congress or in their immediate family to buy and sell stocks. Start selling off national park land. Drill ANWR and pipe Keystone. Drill the gulf. Drill everywhere. Make oil so cheap the Saudis go broke. Enact tariffs on the biggest countries trading with us. Wages will go up when that happens as a ton of mfg. will come back to the U.S. Pass a Constitutional Amendment placing a cap on federal regulations. You want a new one, you have to take off an old one.

That's just off the top of my head.

Biden just handed Trump a live hand grenade by claiming Hunter's prosecution was political. Trump should announce that one of the first orders of business after he takes office will be to investigate that claim. He should point out that the DOJ should not be used for political purposes and that he will stop at nothing to find those responsible, for the sake of Hunter and his poor dad. And he should demand that Joe testify as to what he knows about it so that he can get to the bottom of it, for the sake of the country and the rule of law.

It would make prices go up and there are better and more punitive ways to go after corporations than taxes. I think making stock buybacks illegal again would be a good move. Instead, I would tax the high income individuals at a higher rate.
Additionally, I would love to see a way to tax loans on unrealized gains. Most of these billionaires are able to live as they do because they can get loans for the value of their stock without having to pay tax on those gains. Not until they sell at least.

Can I ask you something, Marley? Do you believe there is a massive wealth gap in this country? Do you believe that low income families should work 2 and 3 jobs to survive? Besides immigration, what are some of the biggest stressors to low income families, in your opinion?

Everyone should be taxed less. The govt should be more responsible with spending. It's that simple.

It's amazing ppl think corporations are always evil, but magically humans that work in govt are altrustic. A corporation is nothing more than a collection of people. Cut out all these govt jobs...do we really need 4,000 ppl at the department of education, for instance. Whos actually accomplishing something there? Now do that for every agency. Then think about all the caring welfare type of things you could pay for.

It's the same thing, when you all talk about free college. You'll go on and on about evil corporations...but then say nothing when every major university in the country has an endowment of over a billion dollars, which is nothing more than a tax free hedge fund. We not doing the pay your fair share thing? Let me help you out...imagine a drug company marked up a drug % wise as much as schools mark up textbooks and how often they make you buy new editions...you'd be protesting in the street.

When corporations eff up, you get stuff like Enron or Sam Bankman Fried.

When governments eff up, you get stuff like Vietnam. Or Camp LeJeune. Or 9/11.

Governments are far more dangerous than corporations.

Why would you pay a tax on unrealized gains?
Are you trying to tank the stock market?
Please stop.

Tax the rich folks. It was always obvious, but generally it gets said out loud.

Here's the thing about these pardon...he didn't just say, "i can't let my only son go to jail" most ppl would absolutely understand that. Instead he attacked the judicial system, said it was politicized, etc. I've been reliably told by ppl like @sambowieshin that's a threat to democracy and infact fascism.

Also, have fun:

But anyway, the bidens are corrupt opportunist scum bags, they always have been.

If it wasn’t obvious to you Joe would pardon Hunter, you need to ask yourself why you’re so stubbornly dumb when people continuously tell you you’re a gullible idiot.

Sharp as a tack. Joe won’t pardon Hunter. Trump is a Russian asset.

At some point, anyone with a functioning brain cell would wake up and realize everything they are consistently told by the DNC media is a lie.

No one should be upset Biden lied about pardoning Hunter. You should only be upset if you were stupid enough to actually believe it. Doubly so if you actually used Hunter’s conviction as some sort of evidence that Biden’s DOJ wasn’t corrupt to its core.

Once again, I, along with other who agreed with me, we’re right. And sambowieshin was embarrassingly incorrect.

When you pledge your home as collateral on a loan you are getting that exact same "benefit" or is the bank if you default. Your ideas are dangerous and un-American.

1. Yes.
2. No.
3. Inflation, drugs, government (think stupid drivers license registration amd suspensions, etc), lack of motivation, generational stupidity, smoking weed all day, video games, criminal activity.

I could go on, if you wish. Dumbass leftist. And trust me when I say I'm a lifelong Democrat that is now 100% Trump/MAGA. And have been since the moment he said the word 'Wall'.

Put that in your pipe amd smoke it amd reflect.

Found a 35 page document and slowly getting through it. I did skip to the mail-in. To start, this was in the introduction and I am totally in agreement.

• A national system to connect state and local voter registration lists
• Voter identification based on a universally available REAL ID card
• Policies to improve voter access for all communities, as well as innovations like votecenters and voter information lookup sites
• Stronger efforts to combat fraud, especially in absentee voting
• Auditable paper backups for all voting technology

Pass any laws to ensure the above statements.

Chapin, citing the Carter-Baker report’s focus on election integrity, turned theconversation to the panelists’ experiences with safeguards for the vote-by-mail processes.Patrick said that there are safeguards in place when citizens initially register to vote that Conference Report — The Carter-Baker Commission: 16 Years Later12ensure they are a “true and live and accurate person” and that everyone who receives a ballot is authenticated against a list that has these safeguards in place.Miller agreed, adding there is more security built into the mail balloting process than in thein-person process. She also pointed out that the existing penalties for fraud are quite high.Wyman discussed advances in technology intended to help secure the process and provide“tools in the toolbox” for elections officials seeking to guarantee transparency and accountability. Wyman stressed the need to strengthen security measures already in place and to address the roles of accountability and reconciliation.

I swear I am not trolling. I just believe that if there was enough to sway an election, folks like AP, BBC, Reuters, NPR, etc. would be all over it and there just isn't anything out there on those sites that are addressing it. I get the hesitancy of mainstream media, especially when they are not covering your perceived notions, but I just don't see groundbreaking evidence that isn't anecdotal. I had never heard of the Carter-Baker report before this conversation and I am interested in reading more about it. I would really like to see a system where democrats and republicans both believe in the validity of it.

Just responding to your last paragraph. You expect honesty from the MSM? Propaganda is all it is anymore. Follow the money.

So Trump is attending re-opening of Notre Dame. Great move. I'd love to be there. Great place. Clips I saw on 60 Minutes last evening showed it more beautiful than ever with all the repairs & cleaning. So bright inside now. Outside stone way lightened up. Gave me chills to see all the work that has been done. By great coincidence, son & family will be in Paris the week after Christmas. Hope they can get in.
