  1. Well I never expected eliminating tax breaks for the super rich to be part of the plan . I'll believe it when I see it but it would be good for the country. https://www.axios.com/2025/03/28/trump-taxes-wealthy By the numbers: Currently the top income tax rate is 37%, charged on income above $609,351 for an individual or $731,201 for a married couple. If the 2017 law were allowed to expire, that would jump to the pre-2018 rate of 39.6%, and lower the threshold above which the top rate applies. Around 1% of taxpayers are in that top bracket, though they pay a disproportionate share of income taxes. Under the budget reconciliation rules that Republicans seek to use to extend the tax cuts, that would free up more revenue that could be used to fulfill some of Trump's populist promises, such as eliminating taxes on tips. Zoom out: It would aim to flip the script on Democrats, whose messaging focuses on Republicans potentially slashing Medicaid and enlarging the deficit in order to fund tax cuts for the super-rich. "If we renew tax cuts for the rich paid for by throwing people off Medicaid, we're gonna get !@#$ slaughtered," the White House official said. As the GOP under Trump becomes more of the party of working-class voters, the political risks of raising rich people's taxes are relatively small, compared to the payoff of cutting taxes on tips in the growing service-sector economy. A majority of Americans, including a plurality of Republicans, support raising taxes on wealthier individuals, polls have shown.

  4. "I always thought it was Mike"...his story changes as fast as his face color https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/26/trump-blames-mike-waltz-signal-00252707
  5. I vacillate between it being lack of intellectual curiosity or them just being ignorant and lazy. Leaning toward the latter.
  6. yes, it's clear you never spent much effort studying.
  7. Maybe you should study up on Fidel before criticizing someone for being impressed by him.
  8. castro was ruthless. but was a political genius. had he not been shunned by the US after the revolution, he could have been valuable ally. A ruthless ally but still an ally...
  9. so sad. an ad hominem on Goldberg and then another on 4th. you're on a roll. double down on a push. and he stayed in because he publishes news! duh...
  10. You mean he's an excellent reporter that finds and publishes important stories that withstand the scrutiny of time?
  11. this is mostly good news: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/rcna198389 She's dreadful but the R's are obviously worried about losing her house seat in a very red district. maybe lowering prices and protecting social security are more important to people than they estimated. The bad news is that she still a congresswoman...
  12. Two pilots' names are listed here. Seemingly they were honorably discharged and satisfactory as pilots. so it' not really about finding someone on the internet making a claim I want. It's about people with similar qualifications and experience coming to vastly different conclusions than you. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/youre-going-to-kill-somebody-pilots-fume-as-hegseth-blows-off-responsibility-for-leak/ar-AA1BN3Bz
  13. Used cars will definitely go up. and repairing older cars will be more expensive. I heard an industry analyst saying many middle class people will be priced out of the new car market and that automakers may stop making current sub $30k cars because they'll be out of reach. There is also less profit margin. What a mess.
