Perpetrating the Big Lie. Secretaries do NOT pay less than top earners here. You may find individual years were a billionaire has little ‘income’ but still has dividend and bond interest that is taxed at far higher dollar figures than any ‘secretary’. Even the worst example, TRUMP, intentionally leaked the one return where he paid what, $34,000,000 in taxes? What I think you are referring to is the sum of FICA, which (theoretically) is not a tax, but a contribution, and the secretary’s federal tax. Then divide it by her overall income and come up with a percentage. And find a billionaire who only had capital gains which I think is taxed at 20%? Then say the secretary paid 30% and the billionaire only 20%.

What is musk going to pay this year in taxes? I’ll bet you it is many billions. Enough to equal tens of thousands of secretaries.

Musk is going to get killed with cap gain taxes this year. Buffet's "secretary" probably makes easily six figures, which will put her in a high bracket. The whole thing is to make uninformed people cheer for higher taxes. Sort of like the carpenter who helps build his own gallows to be hung because the guards keep praising his carpentry skills.

The President is a fink.

I’ve always thought that. But that’s not how it is often portrayed. I promise you the Democrats who vote for it in every budget wouldn’t want to call it a tax! If so, they are voting for a tax that so favors the rich it’s not even close!

I have heard many people use the phrase ‘I contributed for years so now I’m going to collect’. I think the word contributed has a different connotation than ‘paid’.

Biggest freestanding aquarium busts.

Quote:
known as the ‘AquaDom’, it was the world’s largest freestanding cylindrical aquarium at 46 ft in height, according to the website of the DomAquaree complex, which houses a Radisson hotel, a museum, shops and restaurants.

Police said parts of the building, which also contains a hotel, cafes and a chocolate store, were damaged as 1 million litres of water poured from the aquarium shortly before 6am. ( 5am GMT).

Even if he gets a tax bill for $20 billion it just means that he still has more than $20 billion. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent.

You had better not try to do your own taxes. He has no losses on TWTR at this time. The President is a fink.
