Everyone shouts "Tax the Rich"... but look at the facts.
A $150k earner pays around $30,600 in federal tax.
A $25k earner pays about $1,200.
It takes 25 people on $25k to contribute what one person on $150k does.
So why drive high earners out of the U.S. when they already shoulder most of the burden?
The problem isn't how much tax is collected.
The problem is how much the government wastes.
Stop blaming the rich.
Start holding the government to account.

I refuse to believe you actually think this is a valid argument
So what if she hates Republicans?
The list of things that make you a patriotic American worthy of being congratulated does not include "liking your political party"
I think it’s a wildly low bar to celebrate an American for simply standing for our anthem at the Olympics.
What Alysa Liu should be celebrated for, other than her gold, is refusing to compete for communist China, and enduring the threats from Chinese spies after refusing to.
I would rather lose every event in the Olympics and send a bunch of Patriots to represent us, than win every medal and send a bunch of spoiled brats who disrespect our country.
