You’ve Got To Be Carefully Taught
from South Pacific
You've got to be taught
To hate and fear,
You've got to be taught
From year to year,
It's got to be drummed
In your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught.

Here's a thought: tax all income over $5 million at 65%, place a one-time tax all wealth over $50 million at 10% (a rounding error that would hardly be missed by billionaires).

Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.
One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

It's reflective of the broader fed-prov problem.
Health care funding = fed, but delivery = prov
So if the provinces ruin the system they know they can blame the feds and the media and voters are too damned stupid to get the trick.
