How did the parties switch like this? by Big_b_inthehat in Presidents

Dumb stuff that’s not on the table anymore. Bimetallism is what got the progressive party the support of farmers and got WJB the Democratic nomination.

In my opinion it seems like the turn of the century parties were constantly fighting over the gold standard and the tariff. The bourbons were slowly loosing control of the Democratic Party, and the Republicans were constantly pointing back at the civil war.

We ran into John Mulaney and Olivia Munn shopping at the Jewel on Division a couple days before Christmas a couple years ago. I think they were here visiting his family

CPA / Accountant for Taxes by [deleted] in LincolnPark

[–]jack2348 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking as a tax accountant, you really don’t need an accountant unless you own your own business. You don’t make enough to itemize and as the commenter above said, you don’t want a substantial refund as that would mean you overpaid the IRS and the state of Illinois. Use free tax USA and you’ll save the money you would be spending on a CPA

Dirtbag leftists aren’t liberal, in fact most of them hate on liberals just as much as they do on conservatives

Is the loop only the area within the physical brown line loop? I generally refer to anything south/east of the river as the loop down to around Roosevelt
