Socialists keep saying "the rich don't pay their fair share in taxes." Charles Payne just ran the actual numbers and ENDED their narrative in under 2 minutes.
The top 1% pay roughly 40% of federal income taxes while earning about 22% of the income.
The top 10% (the entrepreneurs and small business owners putting in 60-hour weeks) pay over 70% of the total taxes.
If we were to tax people based on how much they use services, the top earners would be paying close to ZERO.
PAYNE: "Be thankful we live in a country that's as progressive as it is because it's a pretty good balance right now."
FUN FACT: Elizabeth Warren called Elon Musk a "freeloader" in 2021 and said we have to "change the rigged tax code so The Person of the Year will actually pay taxes."
Musk replied: "If you opened your eyes for 2 seconds, you would realize I will pay more taxes than any American in history this year."
Musk paid $11,000,000,000 that year in taxes.
I’m a gay man and a psychiatrist.
I’ve watched the explosion of rapid-onset gender dysphoria cases, especially in teenage girls.
I’ve seen the desistance data, the comorbidities, the regret, and the sterilizing effects of blockers + cross-sex hormones.
And I have never supported medicalizing children. Not once. Never.
Kids cannot consent to infertility, loss of sexual function, or permanent alteration of healthy bodies.
“Affirmation” is not neutral care — it is an ideological intervention that locks many of them onto a medical pathway most would have grown out of.
Being gay does not require me to pretend that sex is a spectrum or that a distressed 13-year-old girl is actually a boy. It requires the opposite: protecting same-sex attracted and gender-nonconforming kids from a medical fad that pathologizes them.
I will not shut up.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! Dr. Fauci was COVERING UP data showing a miscarriage rate of OVER 80% in pregnant women who received mRNA COVID vaccines in their first trimester
It was effectively an ABORTION SHOT. This is MURDER.
Per documents released today by @RandPaul and @SenRonJohnson, "the raw data revealed an 82% miscarriage rate in women vaccinated during the first trimester. This is consistent with the 81% miscarriage rate noted in the Pfizer 5.3.6 post-market data"
This study was released in April 2021. But even in DECEMBER 2021, Fauci was STILL telling pregnant women to get the vaccine.
FAUCI LIED AND PEOPLE DlED.
🚨#BREAKING: It has been revealed that a man on his lunch break CHASED Diquan Hunt, the man who attacked White women in Charlotte NC, and called the police.
The man, Jackie Lyles, stayed on that sidewalk with her until medics arrived.
She is now at home, stable and recovering.
WAIT WAIT WAIT…
The Senate Republicans VOTED TO GIVE themselves a 30+ DAY VACATION AFTER JUST COMING BACK FROM VACATION?!!!!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!!!!
WE CANNOT PASS THE SAVE ACT BUT THEY CAN ALL GIVE THEMSELVES 30 FREAKING VACATION DAYS????
WHAT ARE WE EVEN DOING HERE?!!!!!
All it took to collapse an entire sect of gender ideology was two alpha males declaring they identify as women and entering the WNBA draft.
I’m going to show you the genius of what they just did.
The two ex-NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White didn’t argue against the absurd premise that gender is fluid. That’s a losing play.
The better play is to enter the illusion and destroy it by taking the illusion to the logical extreme. So that’s exactly what they did.
They embraced the premise that gender is fluid and took it to the logical extreme by declaring for the WNBA draft. Now they are forcing liberals to face the absurdity of their own ideology.
Gender ideology’s core claim is that sex is irrelevant and identity is sovereign. “Trans women are women.” Self-ID is enough.
Now the WNBA, which is in many ways a major liberal institution, faces a big dilemma. They have to either:
A: Allow the two to enter the WNBA draft. Admit “woman” is just a feeling (This is absurd and destroys the product).
or
B: Draw a line and say they don’t qualify. That concedes self-ID is not enough and biology matters. This would be a public abandonment of the liberal doctrine.
Either path burns the ideology to the ground, which is hilarious.
Take notes everyone. Two dudes literally just made one of the greatest persuasion plays of the decade.
If this continues to mirror covid, most of the people advocating now for men in women’s sports will eventually pretend they never supported it and will get upset if you bring up the past with them at all.
Here’s a list of news networks who have NOT covered the viral attacks on women in Charlotte NC:
- NYTimes
- CNN
- Washington Post
- MSNBC
- NPR
- USA Today
- Reuters
- Axios
- ABC News
Every single one of them wrote stories on George Floyd…
…do you get it yet?!!!!!!!!
These two images should be iconic. They tell the story. On the left: a young woman, who had been cheerful and happy, apparently on her way to visit a sick friend or relative. On the right: a degenerate black man, angry and volatile, 14 prior arrests, wandering around the streets, rambling nonsensically, violently assaulting any white woman he comes across. The two happen to cross paths and this is the aftermath.
For years now, our laws and institutions have dedicated themselves to protecting, coddling, and indulging the person on the right, often at the immediate expense of the person on the left. It was decided that the person on the right must be free, must be comfortable, must be cared for and fed and clothed, literally no matter what the cost.
A functional society organizes itself the opposite way. The priority is protecting the person on the left — the innocent woman (or child or man). The person on the right — the chronic, degenerate, dysfunctional criminal — is rightly seen as having no value to society, a net negative, and is thrown in a cage forever or simply executed. A functional society gives all the benefit, all the leeway, all the priority, to the person on left. But we don’t live in a functional society anymore.
@LauraLoomer Hundreds of women stormed a city council meeting here in North Carolina to demand a mosque not be built in their town.
They won’t build them in North Carolina without a fight, I can tell you that.
Here is Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz signing the bill to legalize killing babies in abortions up to birth.
Democrats are literally applauding.
If you're celebrating the dismemberment and destruction innocent little babies you're evil.
"Why do prices keep going up?"
I'd be happy to explain why prices keep going up...Inflationary monetary policy.
"Why do we have inflationary monetary policy?"
Well, there are a lot of reasons, but the primary one is that politicians really like to spend money, because it's an easy way to buy votes. The problem is politicians don't make money, so they have to get it through one of 3 primary ways...
1. They can tax...which is how they get most of it, but there is a point where taxation has diminishing returns because taxing someone too much leads to a lack of productivity or avoidance strategies.
2. They can borrow...which is one of their favorites because it allows them to kick the can down the road when it comes to actually paying for things; the problem is that at some point the government's credit isn't very good, and people don't want to voluntarily loan them money anymore.
3. They can print it...which is what we have been doing for a long time now. It's especially damaging because when the government prints a bunch of money to spend, it doesn't immediately cause all the prices to go up, so when the government spends the money, they are getting close to the full value of the dollar at the time that it is spent...it is only after the new paper dollars have started to circulate without a corresponding increase in supply that more dollars are competing over the same amount of goods and services and thus the prices go up, because the value of each dollar has gone down through money printing ie. "inflationary monetary policy."
Eventually the inflation gets so bad that they have to stop printing and spending, but that only decreases inflation; it doesn't end it, so prices don't go down to where they were; they simply stop increasing at the previous rate.
"Well, why don't they fix it?"
Because it would cause the economy to significantly, albeit temporarily, tank, and then whatever party was not in charge would blame the party that was in charge, and the citizens suffering the most from inflationary monetary policy would punish the party that stopped the inflationary monetary policy.
"So what's the answer?"
Well...the American people could start getting a lot more educated and concerned about the dangers of fiat currency combined with an ever-expanding welfare state and economic central planning, or the system can keep going until it reaches a critical mass, collapses, and we go through a lot more pain than would have otherwise been required...
2010. VP Joe Biden explains the staggering amount of waste and fraud in Medicare.
Biden: "We waste a heck of a lot of money. Somewhere around a third of all the dollars we spend on Medicare goes for nothing useful."
Democrats now tell us that waste and fraud in Medicare isn't a big problem at all.
🚨 BREAKING: In a bombshell drop, declassified files show that 633,000 THOUSAND Maricopa County AZ voter files were hacked and stolen on the EVE of the 2020 election...and the Biden DOJ REFUSED to do anything about it after a months-long investigation — Just the News
This is MADNESS!
What did the hackers DO with that intel?! The suspect even CONFESSED to it.
Keep exposing it all, @FBIDirectorKash!
🚨 BREAKING: Secretary RFK Jr. has DECERTIFIED Kentucky’s organ procurement organization Network for Hope after they IGNORED signs of life from SEVERAL patients scheduled for organ donations
This is BEYOND evil. People should be LOCKED UP over this.
Despite signs of life, the organization allegedly pushed for organ removals anyway.
"Federal reviewers found serious deficiencies in nearly 30% of the cases that they examined"
"We found repeated failures in clinical judgment, oversight, and patient safety, and we found that these problems continued even after the organization promised to correct them. These failures had real consequences."
@libsoftiktok Democrats:
"No one has been convicted of election fraud."
Democrat District Attorneys:
"We refuse to prosecute people who commit election fraud even when they admit to the crime."
Journalists are aggressively defending Fauci, despite his diaries showing that he repeatedly lied to the public. The reason is that, after years of dehumanizing Covid dissidents based on his lies, media elites can’t cope with the enormity of their failure. By @GalexyBrane
FIRST ON FOX: Second Lady Usha Vance says she worried a fourth baby might turn her family's world upside down — but now says it's brought them even closer.
In her first interview since welcoming son Alec a few weeks ago, the second lady tells FOX News Digital that her three older kids can't get enough of their baby brother, constantly competing to hold him, help with diaper changes and keep him entertained.
She also revealed that she and Vice President JD Vance carve out one-on-one time with each child every day so everyone still gets their own special attention.
"I'm really glad that we took this plunge... I'm really glad that we decided to move into the unknown and do something that felt like a little bit of a risk to a settled and happy family dynamic because it's only become happier."
