Says this lazy racist bitch who’s never worked a day in his loser life.

Pay attention, though. Only true white supremacist Republican creeps who wish they could own slaves think we have TOO MANY holidays in the USA.

They’re telling us who they are. Believe them.

Fun graphic! I think most fans will identify most with the generation that they STARTED loving the game with.

I'm a boomer so I'd go with those guys...

IF the games were to be played by the rules of that era.

But I bet that the current crop of stars is probably best in today's game, right?

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26.

Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency.

It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.
