They haven’t kept up over all three years but they kept up last year on average. That’s what the data is telling us.

I know people are hurting. We should tax the mega wealthy so it’s more in line with sanity and help the poorest.

The wealthy pay most of the taxes now.

The wealthy pay most of the taxes now.

Yeah, in absolute amounts. As a percentage of their yearly incomes, though?

I definitely hear you. My effective tax rate is about 22%. We make America run. Plumbers and electricians and factory workers and nurses, etc probably pay the same or even more as a percentage. My problem is that the people with the generational wealth and high incomes from investment as a combination don’t pay 22%. It’s out of whack. We can do better. We just choose to ignore it or throw up our hands.

POS

Take solace in Tubby's 91 criminal indictments, his incitement of an insurrection sufficient to trigger Section 3 of the 14th amendment and the more than a dozen former top administration officials who say he is unfit for office.

Did Joe personally also cause inflation everywhere else in the world? If he did then does he get equal credit for inflation cooling faster than many of our peer countries?

 

[Next Day Err]

We are producing more oil than any other country in the history of the world right now.

Does Joe get credit for that?
