Most of the public think that our wealthy have become super wealthy through taxable income, through the acquiring of taxable income, and that's just not the case.And one reason for that, of course, is that they do everything to avoid taxable income.

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion.

Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

The bottom 8/10 states are Democrat - less struggle

The (D) states spend more on welfare per capita then the (R) states.

The fact that taxpayers fund offices within police departments devoted to crafting a polished image of their competence has always struck me as surreal. But even the CIA has rules against impersonating reporters.
NEW from DSM: A video published on YouTube showed a documentary filmmaker ordered to back away while filming the Eugene Police and subsequently learned that the department has its own "press."

We've spoken to experts who agree this is very bad.

I guess we could also make information about how much sunlight or rainfall an area of the country might get, or average temperatures, and stop giving schools report cards as well... all things that contribute to property values because if there is no data then there is no problem, right?
Rural residents were upset when Oregon released a statewide map estimating property risk from wildfires.

Until then, the impacts of climate change were abstract to many people, one senator said. “This is a very big chicken coming home to roost.”
