They're just removing garbage.

But I'd benefit from that whether or not I, personally, pay tax.

The difference is that whiteness purportedly confers some benefit. Paying tax doesn't - I'd be better off if I could opt not to pay tax.

If I have no power not to pay tax, then I'm not culpable in any way.

Florida is great. He probably has a house there and stays there for a chunk of the year, so it wouldn't be a big deal to pick FL over WA for a few more months of the year.

"The false flags are false flags."

A few days of healthcare. Other than being wildly innumerate, sure.

You really have no idea how much anything costs, huh?

Bodegas being famous for having low prices.

Sort of. Lotta loopholes, and cap gains tax was 25%, v 23.8% today.

I guess everyone falls for dumb shit sometimes, me included.......

You really thought that was a real tweet, huh?

The problem is mostly on the bottom. Lower and middle class people are very undertaxed relative to countries that fund things like UHC.

This is why libertarians would prefer to get rid of or pare back withholding and force you to write a check every year.

He's not saying "frame things around fairness," he's saying to only focus on issues that actually are about fairness.

You may think sports is, but no one else buys it.

I know they said that when they target criminals they won't ignore other illegal aliens they come across along the way.
