NAILED IT: Jeff Bezos: “A nurse in Queens who makes $75K a year pays more than $12K a year in taxes. Does that really make sense?”
“So people talk about making the tax system more progressive. How about we start by having the nurse in Queens NOT pay taxes? At all!”
“Why is a nurse in Queens who makes $75K a year paying more than $1K a month in taxes?”
“That’s $1K a month that could help with rent or groceries or anything.”
“And by the way, do you know what that all adds up to? The bottom half of income earners in this country pay only 3% of the taxes. It’s only 3%.”
“We can find 3%. So we don’t have... it’s a small amount of money for the government. You know that. And the more I thought about it, to me, it’s kind of absurd that we’re doing this.”
“We shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington — they should be sending her an apology. It really makes no sense.”
Exactly!
@jacobstakes_@hung_potato_man@JoelWBerry How am I the retard when you’re sitting here complaining about how hard it is to make yourself a lunch for work? It takes like 10 mins you’re acting like working a full time job takes every waking minute from you 😂
@micheal_ws18 The calories, yes. You will gain or lose weight the same. How you feel? No definitely not. Blood glucose spikes, energy is high with the doughnuts then crashes fast. The steak will digest much slower releasing energy consistently. Also vitamins and minerals differences
Growing up includes realizing that the popular jocky frat bros are usually popular because they’re cool and fun to hang out with and that nerds are often not diamonds in the rough and are rather unpleasant and off putting in character as well as appearance.
