I didn’t even think you said something dumb. Dude is just being an asshole for some reason.

They hide their income so they don’t pay tax. This is a wealth tax. On their wealth. Like the middle class pays with their property tax.

You might think so, but that’s not what happens. Also, fuck them if they won’t pay their fair share. Good riddance to the fucking ghouls.

Such proposals have raised predictable outrage from the rich, along with threats that they’ll move elsewhere where taxes are lower and dire predictions that their fellow plutocrats will refuse to move in.

Yet there’s scant evidence for these consequences. In fact, when Massachusetts passed a “millionaires tax” in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee. But two years later, they haven’t — and Massachusetts has collected $5.7 billion for infrastructure and public education. -Robert Reich

Men, if you don’t want kids, get your tubes tied. Most insurances cover it. Just do it. Don’t wait for the “right time”, just get it done.

I’ve been watching the market closely for years and years. I don’t think there is much thought that goes into it.

Reminds me of an old Rehab lyric:

 I know I'm stupid  
 so I must be smarter than you

I’m still not used to listening to this administration’s way, way, way over-the-top bloviating like they’re China or North Korea. Fucking hell I wish I’d been born/raised somewhere better.

MAGAt Republicans continuing their record breaking consecutive strings of projection.

Hey, it keeps getting the same ones re-elected. No reason for them to change.

Kind of funny having DV on fire at the end there.

I suppose if you’re selling used cars or trying to make it as a door to door salesman.

That shithead trump getting a fourth SC Justice would just be so fitting for the time we’re in.

Why? Seriously. Not the working part, the choosing part.
