How would you "expand the economy" by taking away investment?

For every Billionaire, there's 25,000 Millionaires. This is all hog wash, there is no "massive" concentration of assets, the money is spread pretty well given the totality of the amount. You're just upset you don't have someone elses stack.

US May Close Some Middle East Bases for Good

Sun Tzu put it slightly differently (without all the religious dogma).

In Sun Tzu's strategic framework, the Moral Law is not a religious code, but rather the shared purpose, trust, and psychological ALIGNMENT between a leader and their people. When this harmony is achieved, an organization or army develops absolute unity and resilience under pressure.

"The Moral Law causes the people to be in complete accord with their ruler, so that they will follow him regardless of their lives, undismayed by any danger."

"The consummate leader cultivates the moral law, and strictly adheres to method and discipline; thus it is in his power to control success."

This is why the Iran War of choice (for the President ) is a total disaster for America. Because America did not choose this war.

Nope. Not overlooking it. Upper tax bracket for 2025/26 is 37%. In 2027 it's still 37%. In 2028 it's 37%. OBBBA locked those in. The pre-2018 rate was 39.6%.

Their actual income gets taxed, corporate income gets taxed. If they use it on a loan that's not a gain, that's a debt obligation.

4.95% to the state and 37% to the fed of whatever income he has... or 100% of $0. Illinois chose the latter. Now they can raise taxes on the middle class to try and make it up.
