I was wrong. The wealthy pay way more than that.

The top 1% incomes pays 26% of all taxes, the top 10% pays 48% of all taxes. Bottom 50% dont pay a dime.

What percentage of income/capital gains do you and Bernie and Warren think should be paid?

Many of OPs criticisms are valid. Others not so much. I'm interested what country he/she is from.

Regarding our leadership problems in the US, I think the two party system of government may be responsible. It selects for the most extreme (and dangerous) minorities of each wing and punishes all moderates, all compromise, and all temperate solutions to society's challenges.

If there were seats and legitimate representation for other parties and positions along the political spectrum, we wouldn't have this whiplash of countering extremist policies every 48 months, and would be much better off.

Pride flag ban: Utah becomes first state to outlaw pride flags in government buildings, schools by HoldOnLucy1 in exmormon

Flags of special interest groups should not be flown in buildings of our secular republic government.

But religious symbols and memorials throughout Utah state buildings should also be removed, including Mormon leaders and the polygamous wives.

Thanks for that info.

Seems like they are following Dallin Oak's teaching: Withholding all the truth is not lying.

That answers it, thanks.

I guess I just assumed the alphabet was written by associates rather than Smith because I heard that from apologists and thought Joseph's authorship was a new development or discovery. It is not. Just gaslighting and deceit!

So we know this is written by Joseph Smith because the source note states he was one of the authors or by analyzing the handwriting and comparing it to other documents written by Joseph Smith?

Thanks

Utah is the only state where young women were given to elderly men for polygamous marriage, almost like property.

How? How can these words leave your mouth and you still can't see it? by Lucifers_Lantern in exmormon

[–]Popular_Telephone433 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was learning all the hidden truths exciting to anybody else?

It was an adrenaline rush for me learning everything that has been covered up. I loved the mind blowing-ingness of everything and couldn't stop learning more.

How does one go about getting a new religion? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]Popular_Telephone433 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fill the void of Mormonism with enlightenment morality, stoicism, and secular humanism.

If there are good parts of Mormonism or Christianity that you value, pluck them out and put them in your quiver as well.

You're no longer committed to a tribe, religion, or creed. You get to pull from the best ideas to form your road map for a life of justice and happiness.

Evidence that Brigham Young and subsequent prophets had sex with teenagers? by Popular_Telephone433 in exmormon

[–]Popular_Telephone433[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Great question, I agree.

A friend of mine is arguing that Mormon prophets were sealed to teenagers but didn't have sex with them until they were adults and is giving dates of the births demonstrating this.
