It isn't that the 1% aren't being taxed. It's how they are being taxed.

Everyone is subject to income taxes.But the wealthy do not pay the same rate on long term investments which are taxed at a much lower rate. Bulk of their income is from investments. Working class folks can't afford investments.

I've seen *Patriots* and that's the impression that I get.

a close up photo of smooth rocks with a Terry Pratchett quote from "Night Watch" superimposed: "That's the was it was. Privilege, which just means 'private law.' Two types of people laugh at the law; those that break it and those that make it."

Whoa, there. According to the Gospel of Greed we elected it's not how you made the money. It's all about god's blessings and he gives you ways to make money.

To me it sounds like you hate god.

It would be nice to get to hear about a win now and then.

Not talking about good news stories. Don't care if someone's cat is saved or a stranger demonstrated kindness. I mean a WIN.

Sad that not even the Epstein scandal stops these people.

An illustrative overview of the significance of plankton to humanity, contextualised within the Life Framework of Values. The value of plankton is presented across six broad themes of human interest: biogeochemistry; ecology; culture, recreation, and well-being; the evolution of science; economy; and climate.

We can't see most plankton, but it would not be an exaggeration to say that this world would not be habitable without them. Yet they are commonly overlooked and forgotten the the public. This paper shows the many benefits they give people, to remind us. ๐Ÿงช๐ŸŒŠ

It's telling that Donald Trump's takeaway from Jeffrey Epstein hiring Virginia Giuffre away from Mar-a-Lago is to feel sorry for Donald Trump because he lost an employee, not to feel sorry for Virginia Giuffre because she was trafficked and raped.

It is clear that every branch of our government is too cowardly or too corrupt or too power hungry to stand up to a bully. What can we do?

Do we have much choice?

But what will we do when peaceful demonstrations fail?

We choose our own future. Somehow the narritive has to be re-captured.

Everywhere the word tariff is used should be changed to tax. That's all it is. Trump's plan is nothing more than a simple tax increase on the middle and lower classes of Americans.

Thank you fiscally responsible Republicans.

NO!

I have too many swear words to express my ire at this man.
He is lying and is
misinformed.

The NIH is NOT a company that depends on stocks to perform. ๐Ÿงช

โ€œThe whole thing just gutted me, and obviously I had it easy,โ€ Hartmann told Moreno.

โ€œItโ€™s terrible for everyone,โ€ Moreno said. โ€œIโ€™ve seen whole companies go under after a raid. The supply chain stalls. Beef prices go up. Consumers pay more.โ€
