Omg UC Davis listed as one of America’s most elite universities? In the company of Harvard, Cal Tech, and MIT?? Proud alumnus! Go Ags! 🐴 I might just have to donate to my Alma mater. 💕
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoVance: "Some of America's most elite universities bring in foreigners to undercut wages of American residents. There are 9 universities in particular we believe merit an investigation. Those are Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Brown, the University of Pittsburg, UC Davis, Cal Tech, Arizona State, and MIT."

Trump: You wanna see trauma? I said it the other day. Let them hit a missile into San Diego or Los Angeles.
This is a wildly under appreciated point: social security taxes cap out at a very low rate, meaning low and middle income earners pay much more into the system than the highest earners. If SS taxed all income, most of its problems would go away
