You can joke about it and that’s cool.

but it speaks in large volumes that the highest ranking member of the political party, that has spent the last five months criticizing POTUS for not taking the pandemic seriously and in fact placing all of their eggs in the “he miss handled the pandemic“ bucket to get reelected, Just proved her complete hypocrisy and the fact that she is a total science denier, and a big fat liar. 

Same lady that just said President Trump has slapped science in the face.
😂😂😂

Meanwhile the small business owner who owns the salon and did not authorize this, a single mother with two children, and no income, is going out of business because of the blight caused by the shut down in her neighborhood. She described it as flight from the city and the fact that she has lost all of her surroundings clients and business partners due to the shut down.
Well if she ever runs for president who can not vote for her because of her haircut

Good point.

Lol.  I remember when President Obama. (He the leader of the party of unity and inclusion) referred to McCains VP choice, Sarah Palin,  as “ you can put lipstick on a pig but it is still a pig“.

He got a raucous standing ovation from his audience and the media.

For whatever reason that line makes me think of Pelosi.

You're inventing their plan.  Fun.


I do love the last few posts, though:  I have my boat to fall back on.  Our security guard....worlds away from those acting out.

There was one year that we paid almost $250K in taxes. I hope that counts as our fair share.

Obviously, this isn't true for everyone, and it is also the case that some uber wealthy didn't work all that hard for their wealth.  They may have worked hard and diligently and smartly initially and now expand their wealth as whatever company the own grows in value.

I think the problem is with the core assumption that "working hard" should be a necessary component to "gaining wealth".  It shouldn't, in my view.  Plenty of folks work hard and struggle financially, and others work rather little and do very well.  If you think that's unfair, OK, it may be, but one can imagine government policies to "correct" that unfairness that could have negative unintended consequences.

Our INCOME tax system is more progressive than most of the ones in Europe.  Folks don't appreciate this here.  Countries like Sweden have to tax middle income levels sharply, in addition to VATs and other taxes.  And yes Sweden has more billionaires per capita than does the US.

If you really want to correct the above unfairness, it behooves one to check what other countries have tried, and how that has fared.

I would like substantive changes to our income tax system personally, but I'll leave it at that.

It depends upon who you ask. Fair share is nothing but a moving target depending upon your political affiliation. You will notice that "Fair Share" is never defined as it would not be possible to give a pass to those that vote correctly.

I  appreciate the effort but you're going to have to try harder ask Orange marxist man.How are we going to fix the damage done last nite.Nancy was getting her hair done so she' out - hair done by a stylist that is going out of business because of her shut downs.So if you can ramp it up a little if it's not asking too much.I know I gave the IRS 600.00 because i didn't claim a 35 dollar share that I didn't know i have - every little bit helps

Its amazing how fast Biden saw the light when your internal polls went south on ya
More polls out today and more of the same. What's been remarkable in this election is despite all the craziness this year, the polling has barely shifted for both candidates

I find that so few voters understand things like Social Security and income taxes and whatever it's nearly impossible to engage in much rational discussion about improvements.  The deficit and the debt is one thing neither party wants to discuss for obvious reasons.  They may want to throw money at Climate Change because that's an easy one, the world is ending unless we spend money on this, but taxes and revenue streams and spending in general?

No way.

There appears to be some movement in Trump's approval numbers.  I don't know if that translates into poll numbers or not, maybe some.  I don't think polls at this point, especially national polls, are more than suggestive, though trends may be interesting.

We have another two months obviously and I think a lot of "us" have been paying more attention to "other" issues lately.
