Dividend income isn't taxed, I didn't know that.

I don't have enough money to care about dividends, other than dividend reinvestment obviously.

What the rich people do, telle if this is right Danforth

Take a loan with their assets as collateral, the loan income isn't taxed, and use it like workers use their income. Essentially taking the capital gain as a loan, at zero percent tax.

Will Kathy Griffin be there to cut off Trump's head? so the players can dunk it?

"Years ago a generic bachelors was correlated with higher earning potential. Is that still the case given the debt load new graduates are all but guaranteed to have taken to graduate?"

You're over-thinking it.

You need to under-think it.

Socioeconomic status at birth has always been the strongest prediction of socioeconomic status at adulthood.

What we are seeing is a hundred-year reversion to the mean.

Yes, your kids and grandkids get to live through that arc.

Does that make you want to work harder? Good, relax, it's working.

#40. Lemme guess, during the anthem you sit down, turn your back to the flag and put a hat on.

Savaged, at the eighth grade reading level.

Back when you were JeffJ, you would have followed up by giving him a wedgie, followed by a swirlie.

You actually peaked in Middle School, JeffJ.

"for the candidate who conceded"

Republicans are trained to know when women concede to men, and it's permanent and irrevocable, and never rape.

"Bab el-Mandeb and Hormuz blockades now simultaneously threatening roughly a third of the world's seaborne oil and gas."

Greenpeace has really taken this environmental shit to some pretty extreme levels!

Greenpeace is going to send us back to the stone age, aren't they?

Trump knew this was illegal when he did it.

That's the crime of malfeasance.

I'll put my ASVAB score against yours, if that would help.

Anything that could bring joy to your life would be a blessing.

I'm very proud of this country.

Yeah, me too.

The difference between us is that you aren't also deeply ashamed of this country.

You're not deeply ashamed of this country for choosing Obama? You're lying.

You don't have the emotional skills for this discussion.

They know what to write.

They write what the rich people tell them to.

Obamacare, for example.

"America has always been an Abortion."

Let Freedom Ring!

JeffJ and BillJohnson cast illegal ballots for Spencer Pratt, in that district where he got zero votes.

That's how they know it's rigged. There should have been at least two, if our elections are honest.

Faux-Christians... obviously JC said he never knew people who did any of that.

I appreciate the point you're making Corky, and so does the Pope. But the rise of White Christian Nationalism can't be denied.

Did JC unfriend people over politics?

Wrong and wrong, as usual.

You didn't vote for The Gipper?
Is it... is it because your short brown ass wasn't a citizen yet?

"The economgy, as a whole, has lost its focus on working people"

Since I started getting stock options, my annual capital gains growth exceeds my annual wage growth. My salary went up maybe 5k last year. my capital gains were about 35k last year. 30k this year and it's not even Q3.

This economy delivers no *significant* growth, unless you're in the Investor Class

The tax code is built to grow the wealth of the investor class, and tax the wealth of the working class.

I only paid 15% on my long term capital gains last year. I paid a closer to 20% on my labor gains.

The system is built for rich people. Rich people pay a lower rate than the middle class.

"What's this "we" merde"

Oh you're not an American? I thought we were both Americans.
