If you took $1 Trillion from Elon (assuming it was cash), it would run the U.S. government for 49 days. Not even 2 months.
The U.S. doesn't have a billionaire/trillionaire problem, it has a spending problem.
Break any rules you want, stay as long as you want, get denied eligibility, get denied again, get denied again, then simply sue and have your local judge somehow overpower the NCAA and erase it all.
CFB is becoming a joke. 💔
It’s all talk. Just withhold foreign aid to Israel for a month and they’ll stop bombing their neighbors - instant peace, the Strait of Hormuz can be opened, and gas drops $2 a gallon. Israel has been, and continues to be, the biggest welfare recipient from American tax payers.
“WE NEED TO LET THEM DO INSIDER TRADING TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES”
That was the actual argument just made in defense of politicians trading stocks.
Members of Congress make $174,000 a year.
The median American income is roughly $63,000. (3x less)
Meanwhile the federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour… also unchanged since 2009.
And you’re seriously being told politicians need access to insider trading to survive.
The system is designed to lead earth to neo-feudalism.
And it’s becoming more brazen by the year.
Asset ownership consolidates upward.
Living standards decline downward.
The middle class gets squeezed from both ends and disappears while the elite class accumulates more wealth, more influence, and more protection.
Leaving behind a permanent underclass.
And a permanent political-financial aristocracy at the top…
If we can't be taxed on unrealized gains, why the fuck are we being taxed on the new increased valuation of our home without selling it?
THAT'S UNREALIZED GAINS!
Flat tax.
Whether you make $1000 or $100 million.
A fixed percentage for everybody. And that’s it.
A one-page tax form. No bullshit.
Everybody pays a reasonable and equitable amount. Everyone - from the wealthiest to the poorest - have skin in the game.
Dave Smith says America cannot afford empire anymore. A country where a 70K worker cannot buy an 800K house should not be pretending it can police the planet.
🇺🇸 JOE KENT:
“As someone who lost my late wife in these wars, and as somebody who fought 11 combat deployments myself… I would love to tell you it had worked, but it simply did not… If we go to war with Iran, this is going to be a disaster.”
