The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.
The man who was found guilty of 34 counts of business fraud EXPECTS tax immunity. And yet over 30% of Americans support him no matter what.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
Violinist Andrei Korsakov masters Sarasate’s Capricho Vasco, featuring the zortziko, a unique 5/8 rhythm, with breathtaking precision on Soviet TV, 1977. Original post
Only 1 more days until Mitch McConnel is declared dead.
The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority - the individual. It limits the governments power to harm the individual. The whole constitution is designed to limit the governments power.
James Talarico on Texas officially banning THC: “Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst."
When Uber Eats and DoorDash hid the tip button, delivery workers paid the price. Tips fell by 79%. In January, we changed that. Since then, more than $104 million has gone back into the pockets of the delivery workers who keep New York City fed.

They subpoenaed an 85-year-old man who has testified before Congress 250 times. They published his private diary first. Then screamed profanity at him for not talking. Six years of investigation. Zero charges. This is what having nothing looks like. www.JackHopkinsNow.com
Crazy to think a decade ago I was completely apolitical, enjoying my straight white guy privilege, oblivious to 99% of the world around me. And now, because yall radicalized me on twitter (according to my family), I'm more in tune with the Michigan democratic primary than the NBA offseason.
The definition of insanity is tweeting the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
