"Galloway also believes exceptionally wealthy people are not taxed at a high enough rate that pays their fair share to fund the federal program.

He explains that he pays $9,000 in Social Security taxes each year, which is the same amount paid by someone with an annual income of $160,000."

"The author says generating passive income is the key to building wealth, and that the amount of money one needs for financial security varies per individual.

That money total comes down to a simple plan: Generate more passive income than the rate at which you burn money. Galloway calls this a person's "burn rate."

He explains the math in the following way:" more at the thread link

You know what medicine he and his billionaire supporters are taking?

Your money.

But don't whine, Trumpers. Take your medicine like the children you are. King Trump know best.

"Tubman's removal from the "Underground Railroad" page "is both offensive and absurd," Fergus Bordewich, a historian and the author of a book about the Underground Railroad, told CNN Sunday. He described the new webpage as "diminished in value by its brevity."

So perhaps Trumpers here would like to tell us how they aren't racist pieces of ----.

Hands Off! Millions Make Their Voices Heard!

Hilarious how Trump is SO bad that rwingers are back to talking about Biden.

Because saying good things about Trump and his economy is hard werk indeed.

Herr Musk hopes he still has two pennies to rub together after Trump's Tariffs Presidency.

Yep... biggest loss since, well, since last time Trump was in the WH.

(there may be a pattern here!)

- I wouldn't cross the street

You shouldn't do so alone... not at your mental age.

- a certainly levity
in my replies

So typical.... people who think they are funny so rarely are.

Pretty soon a Trumper might burn his red hat in exchange for... an egg.

I never thought of David Brooks as funny (at all), but the opening remarks to his talk are hilarious. ("At Chicago I majored in History and celibacy.").

And his closing remarks are something this culture needs to hear.

Tariffs are taxes... Trump just raised BullyBoy's taxes.

And he loves it!

"Why education level has become the best predictor for how someone will vote"

and so America and I
think Britain too has become a sadder
Society

rise in mental health rise in
suicide 45% of high school students say
they are persistently hopeless and
despondent

since 2000 the number of
Americans without close personal friends
is up by fourfold

since 2000 the number
of people who say
they are in the lowest happiness
category is up by 50%

we've just become
sadder

the third thing the educated lead
has done and this may not please you is
we produced Donald
Trump

uh some people think Donald Trump
is a populist

Donald Trump and Elon Musk
went to the University of Pennsylvania
and IV League school and became
billionaires

JD Vance went to Yale Pete
hexi went to the Princeton Yale

Steven Miller went to Duke Fox News typ like
Laura Ingram went to
Dartmouth

and they represent the
educated Elite and the key factor of the
educated
Elite is that they're not
pro-conservative they're
anti-left

they don't have a positive
Vision conservative vision for society
they just want to destroy the
institutions that the left now
dominates

and this means in the first
place they're astoundingly
incompetent

I have a lot of sympathy
with what drove people to vote for Trump
but I'm telling you as someone who's
on the front row to what's happening

do
not hit your wagon to that star
thank you you're supposed to
boo

he gave away our bargaining
chips with Putin before we even had
negotiations

Elon Musk has 25y olds
firing people who were controlling our
nuclear codes

Elite narcissism causes
them to eviscerate every belief system
they touch

(just a sample)

so so we members of the educated Elite
did some good things we created the
internet brunch and
mocktails you're welcome

we did some bad
things we designed a meritocracy
designed around the skills we ourselves
possess and rigged the game so we
succeeded and everybody else failed

by age 12 children American children of
affluent kids are four grade levels
above everybody else

by University the age rich kids are
77 times more likely
to go to university or to ivy league
university than kids from poor schools

in adulthood 54% of the people at Elite
workplaces went to the same 34 Elite
colleges

so we ended up creating a cast
system people with high school degrees
who die nine years sooner than people with
college degrees

people with high school
degrees are five times more likely to
have kids out of wedlock

people with
high school degrees are 2.4 times more
likely to say they have no friends so we
created a cast system even though we
pretend to be
egalitarian

but the worst things we did
were not Material
America has a very
strong economy the worst things we did
were spiritual

we privatized morality
and destroyed the moral
order

George Marsen is a great
historian who said what gave Martin
Luther King's rhetoric its power was the
sense there's a moral order built built
into the universe

that if slavery is not
wrong nothing is wrong

if segregation is
not wrong nothing is wrong

we took that essential moral order that
holds people together and we decided
it's up to you to find your own truth
find your own
values

back in 1955 a great American
journalist named Walter Litman
understood this was going to be a big
problem h

he said if what is right and
wrong depends on what each individual
feels then we are outside the bounds of
civilization

and
so without a strong moral order it's
hard to have
trust it's hard to find your your
meaning in life

Anyone who knows politics will enjoy, and learn something from, this unexpectedly funny and insightful little talk about 'cultural renewal' from a similarly unexpected source.

I just can't say it enough... Thanks, Trumpers!

People in The Villages actually have a lot of money to lose. Those in the Swamps not so much, so they might not have noticed yet.

If ShrimpDick were on a Space Station, someone would have shoved him out of a hatch by now rather than listen to his blather.

Also, that would increase the Crew's avg IQ. Win-win.

Article version:

- Mike Pence is no profile in courage.

He only stands out from his fellow Republicans in that they are even more unpatriotic cowards than he is.... though yer right, not by much.

Anyone who knows politics will enjoy, and learn something from, this unexpectedly funny and insightful little talk about 'cultural renewal' from a similarly unexpected source:

Robbie Bobbie Baby is someone who buh-lieves Trump when he says (anything!) that his Tariffs are 'reciprocal' to other countries Tariffs.

Which is, shocker... another big lie.

"President Trump described the tariffs as reciprocal, equal to half of the rate of tariffs and non-tariff trade barriers imposed by other countries. However, they are nothing of the sort.

The tariff the United States is placing on other countries is equal to the US trade deficit divided by US imports from a given country, divided by two, or 10 percent, whichever rate is higher.

So even if the United States has no trade deficit (or a trade surplus) with a country, they still receive a minimum tariff of 10 percent."

All Trumpers should be looking for an Exit Door... well, at least the ones that care about their credibility.

So, uh.... never mind.
