Image of a statement by the Kennedy family on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s presidency announcement. The statement reads as such: "The decision of our brother Bobby to run as a third party candidate against Joe Biden is dangerous to our country. Bobby might share the same name as our father, but he does not share the same values, vision or judgment. Today's announcement is deeply saddening for us. We denounce his candidacy and believe it to be perilous for our country."

Good on the Kennedy family to put out this statement. It couldn’t have been easy.

Onky 13 individuals paid the domicile levy in Ireland last year. What a wealth tax sop for the hard-pressed masses.
