I know you mean well, so I'm not bashing you. I just think the talking point is dumb and misleading. If you want to reform tax policy, first you have to show you understand how taxes work.

Optically, it works better to propose new reforms rather than to return to a significantly worse past.

It's funny you called me illiterate when you don't know what a marginal tax rate is.

They paid between 30-40% just like they do today. The decrease in the 80s was mainly due to capital gains, which is almost always what ultra-wealthy pay the most on. So nothing to do with the dumb talking point.

No one was ever taxed at that rate. This is just a misunderstanding of what a marginal tax rate is. Wealthy people took heavy advantage of tax shelters, deductions, etc. just as they do today. Yes, the wealthiest Americans got tax cuts Regan, but it had almost nothing to do with that tax bracket.

None of that corroborates the story the "whistleblower" gave. You're also ignoring the fact that all of the plots they're suggesting would require dozens of people working on these things, or more, and no one else came out retelling a similar experience? Like I said it's fan fiction.

It's not even just that detail. It's that they just spell out every single accusation of X in plain text as reality. It's like fan fiction for people who hate Elon and X. Plus there's no details or evidence of anything.

Seems fake. Be a little more critical of it and read through it. You really buy that?

What are you talking about? Where did you hear that? I heard about him directing them to boost his account but none of that other stuff.

There are hundreds of games released every year that are PC-Exclusive and console mfers act like it's some huge loss to have to wait for the 3-4 AAA titles per year that are console-exclusives.

Why is that an important thing to point out in this context?

Apparently this meme is actually true.

You're my second favorite Matt.

Your talking point is either completely made up or you're calculating it based on bad math rather than historical analysis.

No, 538 predicted that whoever won would do so by winning all 7 battleground states which is exactly what happened.

Also, at least four Prez. elections in American history were won without 50% of the vote and 2024 isn't even one of those times. He won 50% of the vote and Kamala only got 48.4%.

Reagan won 97% of the electoral college despite winning only 59% of the popular vote. What's your point?

Trump won the popular vote by over 2 million people. What are you talking about?

Evidenced by what?

Why is it so hard to provide evidence of the claims that benefit your narrative but so easy to provide evidence of the alternative?

Trump doesn't run elections and he still won't run elections in 2026/2028. What you're alleging would require a wide-scale conspiracy that Trump is incapable of doing.

What facts are those?

Who is reporting these "facts"?
Let me guess, it's just a random social media account and not an accredited news organization.
