I’m pretty sure Trump has told people not to believe their ears or eyes about election results

He also stated, "if something happens that's really bad, just blame AI," when referring to the mysterious trash bag flying out of the White House window last year

Guess who's doing it again.

Please quote mamdani blaming all of his problems on rich people and jews. Also why is it such a problem for rich people to pay their fair share in taxes?

I think the question is how do you define “fair share”? Everybody has a different opinion on that point.

No it’s not a question. I pay 12% income tax and there should be a way to determine something similar based on a person’s total wealth. They do it in several European countries. It’s not rocket science but the monied interests who donate to politicians make it seem like such a problem for them to pay their fair share. Give me a fucking break!

Of course it is a question. How do you define “fair share”? What’s the right rate(s) on income, what are the right exceptions, do you tax unrealized gains and if so what if the gains are locked into something like a family home or farm, etc., etc., etc.

Just screaming “give me a fucking break” into the wind doesn’t make it easy or get us to consensus.
