GOP doubling down

I don't rage against big corporations. I worked for them for the past 20 years and like you said, the majority of my investments are in big corporations. That wasn't what we were discussing though. We were discussing how wealthy individuals are taxed and how they don't pay their fair share.
And I agree but the topic has expanded a bit as to how they get around “paying their fair share”.
Bottom line - the wealthy do get opportunities to shelter money that most of us don’t have access to.
I don’t deny it and I don’t really even defend it completely. But it’s how our system is set up. For better or worse.

That's fair.

What a f’n load.
The “little people” - almost 40% of US households - comprising 79 million folks - won’t pay ANY taxes in 2025.
The top 1% will pay 48% of all US taxes collected in 2024.
And the Top 1% have about 95% of the money….maybe “mom” those with the most ought to be paying their share of the load? Just a silly thought….we know America has worked hard ever since RTeagan to slant the field in favor of those poor bastards who are making all the money.
 
The Top 1% also owns more than 70% of the nations’ wealth.

Really is amazing that many people believe billionaires and multimillionaires’ taxes are too high. Amazing sales job by the wealthy.
Yours are too low. Since you have never paid anything because you’re a useless leech.

You’ve never had a real job in your life.
 
All I see is a bunch of left wing activists on here complaining about the rich not paying their fair share. But they manipulate young minds into giving them what little money they do have for hopes of a Marxist utopia.
 
I’m pro choice as I’ve stated before on this site. Many women are and if they’re like me they don’t need or want men (or women controlled by men) telling them what to do with their bodies.
My standard response is “Don’t like abortion? Then don’t get one”.
Not contacted yet by any group.
This isn't really the point, though, is it? The GOP wants no abortions under any circumstances for any woman. They don't want IVF. They have their eyes on birth control.
Keep your head in the sand to protect your brand loyal voting record.
 
And they live better than 99.999% than the rest of us...it's the VERY LEAST they could do
I have lots of friends who “live better” - whatever that means- but I’m not envious nor do I have this philosophy.

SOME don’t - and they cackle the loudest, it’s on Florida’s ballot so we’ll see in November.
 
So just curious Mon……where do you think that final vote is gonna end? Are you guys more conservative than Kansas…where the vote ended up about 58-42? I think abortion is a 3/2 winner in most localities.
I don’t have any idea and it’s not a front burner thing right now.

Jealousy has nothing to do with tax law, chonk. I have long advocated beefing up the Internal Revenue Service. We used to have 2 officials work basketball games….now we have three. The game has changed and gotten more complicated…as has the tax code.
It sure feels like it as u read this board, a lot of people worried about and complaining about other people’s lives and what they pay in taxes. And there is so much bad info in here, yet people throw it around as facts.

So bring some facts, dipshit

It's as if they think by screaming loud enough to support them, they will get let into the billionaires club.

It’s up for a vote, I don’t need an abortion and I do think the voters will decide. Beyond that what should I say?
Heaven forbid you criticize your "team". I quit being on a political team a long time ago and am much happier for it. You might want to consider doing the same.

Why won’t you say who you are voting for?

Do you think people on an anomymous message board are going to give you a truthful answer on this? I don't. I think it's pretty easy to judge someone's posts and have zero doubts about who they will be voting for no matter how they answer that question. There was a poll on here not long ago about where you stand politically. Some of the ones saying they were in the center was pretty funny.

Yep, the loudest centrists are some of the most far right people you will ever meet. Self awareness isn’t something they possess.

What do you stand for? More links and statements hoping for likes?
Most on here know very little about you and thus they won’t LOL at your statement about “self awareness”.
Thanks for that laugh.
