How is Brexit working out?
I think moral hazard and the corrupting influence of "big money" in politics are the two most harmful aspects of our governmental system.
I think the better of two bad choices is for Biden to be reelected and (crazy as they are) for the Republicans to maintain control of Congress. Even...
We can. We just don't spell it incorrectly.:)
The MAGA base apparently.
There is no such thing as "trickle-down economics" other than as a political term of derision. Supply-side economics describes the supply-side and...
That's unrealized gains. What is "gaining" is the stock value. To pay that would potentially require selling enough stock to pay the taxes. I don't...
It's not self-refuting but it has the limitation that it can't justify itself. But, so what? :) It's just word play...

You are talking about the Gilded Age (which was just a little earlier). The "rich" then tended to get there via monopolies so it was much closer to a...
Your presumptions aren't accurate. The average effective tax rate for the top .1% is 25% and the average effective rate for the average taxpayer is...
The difference today is a much larger economy. If everyone was still farming, there wouldn't be such differences. Should we "fix" that and return to...
Strawman alert...comparing S. America to the US.:) The per capital GDP in the US is higher than most countries in Western Europe. There is more...
The problem is "reality". People aren't equal. That's why the results aren't equal. The government trying to mandate that reality be different...
I don't know that much about him, other than what I have read in news reports, eccentric, populist, right wing, etc. I don't expect much from...
I like the probabilities exercise where you have a room full over people (picture a large auditorium) and the speaker has already written out a bunch...
Putting the fox in charge of the hen house is definitely a systemic problem.
I'm just saying, we agree to disagree.
Separate names with a comma.
