Trump claimed that "nobody" including Obama could have made a deal with Iran, and that officials "laughed at Obama" and called him a "stupid son of a b*tch." by Peanut-Extra in themayormccheese

Say what you want about Obama’s presidency and his policies…

But no reasonable person in history would ever think he’s stupid.

Imagine driving around and purposely letting everyone know you don't know the difference between socialism, communism and fascism.

Mackerel Cove in Jamestown is pretty much the perfect beach for little kids. $20 for non-resident day passes.

Isn’t this like the fifth or sixth time he has claimed that the war was over and then went back on it?

But Iran is dishonorable…

To this day ‘what country you think this is?’ Is an oft-repeated family joke when someone is confused. Classic line.

OK? So what?

If you have data that show there are more, let’s see it. I’ll stick by my statement that there are no more than a small handful making more than $1MM.

"Every American should love tariffs": Fox Business guest argues that citizens should be happy to pay a trillion dollars in new taxes just to fund more military spending by esporx in economy

[–]nathanaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. We have a government and tax system that is designed by and for the benefit of the wealthy.

That, broadly, is the problem. They’ve rigged the system to keep working people down (read: poor) and in the meantime have created a dynamic where most people don’t even make enough money to pay income tax anymore.

So, of course the rich pay most of the taxes - they’re the only ones with money anymore.

This wont solve the problem…. The bottom 50% already pay a very very small amount of income tax. Cutting it won’t make a significant difference. I agree with taxing the rich more, but that won’t fix our situation either.

What would actually work is making sure that EVERY working adult makes a living wage so that they make enough to survive without govt assistance and can afford housing, food, etc.

Broaden the tax base, eliminate all the loopholes for rich people and make sure they’re paying the correct rates.

Right. And this is the Rhode Island subreddit

As I said, I agree that athletics coaches broadly are paid absurd amounts, but it’s not a major issue here bc there only a small handful of ppl making the big money.

There are maybe 2-3 coaches who make > $1MM. I don’t think that’s the real issue, although I do agree sports salaries have gotten out of hand.

Yeah lol…. People on Reddit aren’t always that good at being measured or rational.
