Millionaires stop paying into Social Security today.

That’s because they've now made $176,100, and hit the contributions cap.

Billionaires made that much about an hour into the year.

Elon Musk did in just 15 minutes.

Tax the rich. Scrap the cap.

Report: Trump Had Over $280 Million In Debt Forgiven And Avoided Paying Taxes On Most Of It The debt largely came from his Chicago tower.

These are not normal times. Staying in your seats being quiet holding Auction paddle signs ain't it. We can't be all reactionary.
