In the 1950s the top marginal tax rate for couples filing jointly making over $400,000/year was 91%. Adjusting for inflation, that’s $5,200,000. Just to put our current tax structure in context.

doesn’t really matter what Trump does

Trump said on day one he’d let Israel “finish the job”. What is wrong with you? Bizarro delusion to even consider democrats approach anything other than vastly superior to Republicans.

Trump just called Netanyahu and told him to turn down the cease fire. All your complaints about Harris should be gone and Trump should be in prison for being a traitor promoting more death for political gain.

FYI this would be illegal to decline giving a patient their prescription in the US. I would be surprised if there was no similar consumer protections in Canada.

A listener in Ohio wants to know if they ever shared a child on Epstein island.

Every accusation is a confession.

I think it’s bullshit. Nothing released was shocking honestly. It’s part of their current “throw shit against the wall and see what sticks” strategery.
