Those who are trying to damage Biden can see the future — they are fearful our becoming a “majority-minority” nation and they are working to prevent that future from arriving, by silencing those who do not share their views. The Trump cult, along with most Republican legislators, are working to make us a white supremacist society, like South Africa was for generations.

There is another reason Republicans are pushing voter restrictions. They want to trigger riots and violence from people they strip from the voter rolls so they can keep their racist base energized

All of that and a cap on personal wealth, every dime. No more parking money offshore or hiding it any other way. Or maybe a rule that a corporation has to reinvest a large percentage of profits of all types in employee compensation including wages, healthcare, paid leave, sick time, education grants, etc. If they go above and beyond the requirements THEN they can write some of it off at tax time.
re: #22 JC1

re: #21 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus
Estate taxes are a kind of wealth tax, are they not?
Basically they’re a special-case workaround on income taxes — the dead don’t pay taxes, the living do. Someone who has a million bucks of income the year when they inherit money or property or a business worth that amount doesn’t have to pay income taxes on the inheritance. More than ten million dollars inheritance or whatever the limit is, some level of taxation is applied because it’s income to someone.

The exclusion is 11 million from the estate, which might be split among several heirs.
(also, spouses don’t pay inheritance tax.)

This lurid story of Dunning-Kruger conspiracy criminals came along during one of the trashiest periods of American media history, just before the internet hijacked much, but not all, of the audience for trashy speculation.
At the time, the sensationalizing elements of the media spun the story to highlight implied class differences between the rivals, contrasting the low-life Harding with the genteel and proper Kerrigan. In fact, the two women came from very similar working class backgrounds, though Kerrigan had a much more stable and positive upbringing.
Kerrigan’s father, Daniel, was a welder. Her mother, Brenda, was a homemaker. They remained married until Daniel’s death in 2010.
Kerrigan’s family was of modest means. Her father sometimes worked three jobs to fund her skating career; he also drove the Zamboni at the local rink in exchange for Nancy’s lessons.
Not gonna lie, I’d probably go off on Tucker too if I saw him out somewhere.

That’s a fair concern, though I’m not aware of any major publicly traded companies where someone owns an outright majority of shares. In such an edge case where paying 2% of one’s net worth would cause one to lose control of a company, a few options are readily apparent:
1) pay a dividend to pay for the wealth tax
2) take out a loan against a portion of the shares
3) issue a different class of shares with different voting rights.
I’m sure that there are other solutions.

But there are privately held companies or LLC’s that have shared ownership. How are these organizations valued? It may be difficult for someone in such company to come up with the cash needed to pay this tax.

Most LLCs wouldn’t be hit by the proposed wealth tax (at least the one that Warren wanted). Regarding assets in general, I would look at insured values as a starting point. It’s not a trivial problem, but it’s not insurmountable either.

Said Jackson: “There’s something seriously going on with this man right now. And you know I think that he’s either going to — he’s either going to resign, they’re going to convince him to resign from office at some point in the near future for medical issues or they’re going to have to use the 25th Amendment to get rid of this man right now.”

THREAD:
As news stories drop about COVID+ pandemic deniers & anti-vaxxers ranting defiantly from ICU beds, let’s review what fraud research suggests abt the responsibility we should attribute to them for their condition & the ms they send.
Are they victims we should pity? 1/x pic.twitter.com/jrmo6zQ7BL— Brooke Harrington (@EBHarrington) July 22, 2021
Coolers help the mark “to see himself and judge himself.” They help with “redefining the self along defensible lines.”
Note the “judge” part: coolers *don’t* absolve marks or encourage them to see themselves as victims.
No: they help marks reconcile themselves to reality.

ComiCon at Home has wrapped up (I think). Lots of Youtube videos, nearly none of which were of interest to me, but a couple of them are.
If you’re interested in comics graphic novels, fantasy writing and TV/Cinema, etc., probably something will interest you. Must be a hundred or so videos they put up the past three days.
Meanwhile, I was looking for the Vanity Fair article about Jared and re-found this one — about how he improperly contracted with a U.A.E. company connected to its ruling family to obtain $52m worth of COVID tests…which turned out to be contaminated 🤔 https://t.co/cv2MzH9bip

I remain fascinated by this volcano, perhaps because it is the only shield volcano I’ll get to watch from birth, during my lifetime.
Iceland has (and indeed is made up of) many shield volcanos, but it’s several thousand years between new ones popping up I believe.

re: #116 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus
I don’t know much of anything about volcanoes, but isn’t this close-proximity gathering a bit on the dangerous side? I mean, couldn’t the volcano just sort randomly of bubble out some lava onto the spectators?
Slate with a hilarious send-up of the endless parade of op-eds in the Washington Post on why we shouldn’t make Trump voters feel uncomfortable.
Stop Insulting Trump Voters and Their Concerns. Instead, Shut Up and Take It. (today)
On Thursday, the Washington Post published an opinion piece by columnist Gary Abernathy arguing that Americans need to stop insulting Trump voters lest we fail to achieve “what’s necessary for our nation to survive.” Easily the greatest work on the importance of being nice to Trump supporters that the Post has published since Kathleen Parker’s “Progressives’ Shaming of Trump Supporters Won’t Work” (Aug. 9, 2019) or James Hohmann’s “Liberal Hostility Toward Trump Aides Could Galvanize the GOP Base” (June 25, 2018) or Michael Gerson’s “Stop Sneering at Trump. It Won’t Help” (April 20, 2017), Abernathy’s essay is a timely reminder of the importance of historical amnesia, and the urgent need to treat Trump voters with civility and respect and deference and reverence and adoration, no matter what they’ve done.
After all, the 2020 election is over, and so is the violent attack on the capitol Trump incited in a futile attempt to cling to power, and even if people are still dropping like flies from the deadly pandemic Trump catastrophically mismanaged, there’s no reason to be rude. You wouldn’t treat someone like a moral leper just because they root for the Orioles instead of the Nationals, so why would you judge someone for handing the country over to a pack of racist crooks who promptly got more than half a million Americans killed? Trump voters would prefer not to think about whether or not they bear any responsibility for the awful things done in their name by the people they explicitly told to go do awful things in their name, and it’s important for those of us on the left side of the aisle to respect their culture.

Argh. Local news top story: Sonoma Raceway is open at full capacity. Shots of no one wearing masks. Vendors on the racing circuit from out of state (interviewed vendors had southern accents) also not wearing masks. Everyone out there having a “great time” now that they don’t have to worry… Yes, they’re outdoors, but really???
Followed by a story about rising Covid cases.

One of their arguments was that if you get taxes from an increase in net worth, do you refund if net worth falls?
Nope.
Pennsylvania taxes on your capital gains. If you make money they tax it. If you lose money they don’t care and don’t give you any back. Compare this to the Federal tax system where you can bank some losses and use it to offset later profits.

Was Trump physically in the laboratories personally formulating the vaccines?

No? Then it is NOT the Trump vaccine and never was.
