Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.
That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.
So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

"You are fettered," said Scrooge, trembling. "Tell me why?"
"I wear the chain I forged in life," replied the Ghost. "I made it link by link, and yard by yard; I girded it on of my own free will, and of my own free will I wore it."

When people say 'run government like a business,' they mean cut services, raise prices, and pay the CEO 400 times more than the workers.

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane.

I hope this boy, wherever in the world he is, heard the news that his homeland is free from Assad's regime.
I wish the Syrian people 1000 lifetimes of peace, prosperity, and true democracy.

Putin's army of disinformation agents is toppling one democracy after another, since Brexit.
In Europe they can see what's going on. Meanwhile in America we keep ignoring the hostile takeover by Russia and voluntarily hand over control of the US government and military to a Russian asset.

And if you're a billionaire who doesn't have this in your house, just give up your money. It's wasted on you.
At the end of the day, don’t we all just want to pull a book from a bookshelf and find that it reveals a hidden room?

I think the wrong questions r being asked about the proposed tariffs. The real question Is how little will he accept from Mexico , Canada and China in order to be able to say the threat of tariffs worked ?

"Nancy Mace explains on a weekly basis that she was the victim of sexual assault... but she also breathlessly supports someone like Donald Trump, who is an adjudicated rapist and was credibly accused of sexual assault by 26 different women. So the cognitive dissonance at play here is incredible."

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a raging snowstorm, and Agatha Christie novel, a crackling fire, a kettle on the stove, and a basket of emotional support pastries.

Be nice to everyone in HS. If you can't be nice, at least don't be mean.
Bec sometimes, your HS weirdo become super rich and chase the acceptance they never got by playing with our democracy.
And no one can tell them that they'll never fill that void.
