@PeteButtigieg so when blue states manipulate the maps in their favor you're completely fine with it but when republicans play by your rules you throw a temper tantrum.
@tedlieu He lost by about the amount of ballots collected from the homeless without an address for them to receive their ballots. Making cheating legal doesn't change what it is
@RepJoeCourtney If you give it to people who haven't paid enough to offset the benefits then it's an entitlement. All SS withholding should be held by the person who paid it not the government so they can't use it to blackmail people for votes.
Hypothetically, a crazy person offers you $1 million for 1/1,000th of the equity in your house.
You still get to live there. They just own a tiny piece and hope it goes up in value.
You take the deal.
Congratulations, your house now has an implied valuation of $1 billion.
you’re a “billionaire”
Do you have a billion dollars? No.
If the government wanted to tax you on your unrealized gain is there a money dollars to take? No.
@TedRall Then stop all the fraud and waist in the government. There's plenty of money for health care but it's more important for the Democrats to funnel money into the pockets of the NGO grifters so they get kickbacks
@SenMarkKelly You pathetic coward. You hid the whole time Biden gave permission to Russia to invade and now you pretend like you care. You represent everything wrong with politicians.
