This isn’t a good thing. This means more money was lent to the federal government interest free

The money people could have invested and had grown over the year made $0.00

Not sure why you would flaunt this

New York Gov Kathy Hochul is begging wealthy people who have moved to Florida and Texas to come back to New York and pay taxes. 🤣

"I need people who are high net worth to support the generous social programs that we want to have in our state. Now, there are some patriotic millionaires who stepped up. OK, cut me the checks if you want to be supportive, but maybe the first step should be go down to Palm Beach and see who you can bring back home."

"I have to look at the fact that we are in competition with other states who have less of a tax burden on their corporations and their individuals. And I would say remote work changed everything."

"There were people who could only work in an office in Manhattan and work in New York state. And they were captives to our state, they were going to stay. We saw that that's not the case. Wall Street businesses looking at Texas, they're not going there because they have a nicer governor. They're going there because of the tax rate."

@GavinNewsom @dpakman Says the governor constantly inflating gas prices artificially and creating higher local rates of inflation through increased taxation

@MaileOnX Because what no one understands is America is America. Party lines mean absolutely nothing in times of conflict or to enemies

TSA agents should be agency of the decade

Working without pay how many times in the last 5 years? And having to deal with pissed off upset travelers all the time?

The US Navy could overpower Iran's forces, but Iran's cheap mines + drone swarms in the narrow (shipping lanes ~2-3 miles wide) Strait of Hormuz create high risk & cost. One hit tanker or minefield halts traffic via fear/insurance—even without "defeating" the Navy. Asymmetric edge.

@BernieSanders That 50–28 poll (22% undecided) is soft—pre-ad blitz. Billionaires flee CA taxes (Page, Brin, etc.), killing revenue. “One-time” 5% turns recurring. State still faces ~$18B deficit despite revenue gains. Tax the rich, lose more—middle class pays.

[BothSidesOfTheWall @BothSidePoli]

Yes, top 1% still pay ~40% of income taxes (2022 IRS/Tax Foundation data), but that's on realized income—many avoid realizing gains entirely via "buy, borrow, die." Closing that borrowing loophole (or taxing unrealized gains) would hit the actual avoidance harder than broad wealth taxes that will more likely push these “ultra wealthy to less taxed places

If you truly support a wealth tax than good for you, but if you think it’s going to make this significant difference than you are delusional

🚨 WOW! In a brutal loss for Gov. Gavin Newsom, Yamaha is PULLING OUT of California after nearly 50 years

The HQ will now be relocated to Georgia.

Gavin Newsom has failed California.

So what you’re saying is it’s the average persons fault for not having enough assets when they’re born to borrow against or sell to supplement all their living expenses?

Seems like a very incorrect and stupid mentality, or you’re just another person borrowing for things you can’t afford for your next post

[BothSidesOfTheWall @BothSidePoli]

@mike_r_ @DefiantLs Agreed. It seems that it would affect those still present on Jan 1st of 2026, so it’s pretty safe to assume those who would avoid have already left

[BothSidesOfTheWall @BothSidePoli]

@KurtDRoberts @DefiantLs Yes but they don’t have the assets to borrow all of their living costs directly… the average person does not hold assets of that size

And for the capital gains aspect, do you know a lot of average Americans who can supplement wages with investments to avoid income taxes?

[BothSidesOfTheWall @BothSidePoli]

It seems you didn’t read my entire reply. The “ultra rich” don’t sell investments they borrow against them. Hence why they pay 0 as you can not be taxed on debt

Investments are only sold when there is a better opportunity or when the asset has turned toxic… which is still taxed less

@CBSNews But the video released raises questions as to whether or not the munition is a tomahawk and if it is why the US would send it along a non optimal path where it would have a higher chance to be intercepted…
