@crypto_bgrace @SHARKTHESEAL "It doesn't apply to me! It only applies to the other guy!" is not a winning argument. If it would be unfair to you, it's unfair to anyone. Golden rule. Originally, income tax was only for the "wealthy." Now look. Our government's urge to spend is insatiable.

Taxes on unrealized capital gains is the most absurd galaxy brain idea ever conceived

It’s difficult to describe how insane a 25% tax on unrealized capital gains is. Not a one-time 25% hit. It’s compounding, annually taking 25% of every dollar of potential increase before it can grow. Not an exaggeration to say it could single-handedly crush the economy.

My #mnleg take: If the Senate DFL Majority intends to allow Senator Mitchell to vote during the current #mnleg session, then the Subcommittee on Ethical Conduct Committee should meet and reach a determination on the ethics complaint filed today against Senator Mitchell BEFORE…

Also for the record if you are an elected official and are credibly charged with a crime you should resign. If you are the victim of legitimate political persecution you should not. This is regardless of your political affiliation or the balance of the chamber in which you serve.

I am not voting for Donald Trump or Joe Biden because they are both crooks and I live in a state where my vote for president is irrelevant so all of your Donald Trump is worse than Nicole Mitchell replies are missing the mark. Dozens of wrongs don’t make a right. Thx.

I have yet to comment directly on the criminal charge against Sen. Nicole Mitchell. But I just read the statement released by Sen. Mitchell. Her statement conflicts significantly with the information contained in the criminal complaint. The criminal complaint was signed "under…

If only we had nominated someone other than Trump, the wreckage the right could pile on Biden right now would be insurmountable. However, Republican voters chose the one person who'll make the election about himself and his ills and we'll lose.

Keep crying. Look, you don't get to tell people how they feel about their own economics. Don't believe me? See George H.W. Bush in 1992, who had the same exact problem. You have to respect people's opinions and then respond to that.

President Biden’s latest student loan cancellation plans will increase the total cost to taxpayers to $559 billion and benefit households earning more than $300,000 in annual income the most, per the University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Wharton Budget Model.

98.5% of American households have access to NPR. It is broadcast across 1,000+ stations and receives ~$45M/year in government funding (mostly indirectly via local stations). It has 87 executives, 0 of whom identify as Conservative. This does not seem right.

Public service? You work for a left-wing non-profit. But congrats on having lower-middle-class workers pay off the debts you ran up. Real progressive of you.

Literally the dumbest possible reason to be pro-choice. Concede that it's akin to murder but support it anyway because you're more concerned with overpopulation -- a very overblown problem and a profoundly dumb reason to justify homicide

Student loan forgiveness sounds great for borrowers overburdened with high interest rate debts they cannot repay. The problem is that the subsidy appears to go principally to more affluent families at the cost of burdening those who didn’t attend college or whose parents saved to…
