I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Caleb Hammer schooled a guest on how taxes work in America, explaining that the U.S. has one of the most progressive tax systems.
Caleb: Question, what percent does the top 1% pay in federal income taxes?
Guest: None.
(Brief silence)
Caleb: Think it's about 40 to 50 percent? No, I think it's about... I believe it's about 35%. Then the top 10% pays 50 to 60%. Top 50% pays 99%. The bottom 50% of earners only pay 1%. Did you know we actually have the most progressive income tax system in the entire Western world? Did you know that?
Guest: I did not.
Caleb: Oh, we do. Of course you didn't know that. Why know anything before having an opinion? What the fuck is wrong with you?

BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA was released 40 years ago today.
It struggled at the box office after opening just weeks behind ALIENS, but years of home video and cable TV gave it a second life, turning John Carpenter’s action-fantasy into cult classics.
Neil the Seal, the internet's favorite 5-year-old southern elephant seal, is back.

🚨 Venezuela Earthquake Rubble:
Stacks of US $100 Bills Everywhere
Watch as civilians, first responders, and others pull wads and suitcases full of American hundred-dollar bills from the collapsed buildings. Cash is turning up in huge amounts across the rubble.
People are asking: Is this why colectivo leader Caballero was reportedly demanding American teams go in a different direction?
Has the quake exposed what they’ve been protecting — and now it’s beyond anyone’s control as everyone (cops, civilians, rescuers) is finding the money?
Many are straight-up calling these collapsed spots drug houses or cartel/colectivo operations.
In Venezuela’s dollarized reality, people hoard cash… but the volume here has everyone speculating hard.
