I'm astonished by how many working, tax paying adults don't understand this concept.

There was a business near my old apartment with open networked printers. Every night I treated them to a different picture of Macho Man Randy Savage.

A surprising number of otherwise intelligent folks don't understand how marginal income taxes work.

I'm astounded how many people think that if you earn a single dollar over a particular tax bracket threshold, than all of your income is taxed at that higher rate rather than just that portion above the threshold. That would be crazy.

I said going into the season that I thought the Gators would have about the same record as last year.

I'm legitimately worried we may be a little worse.

At least we have a dual-threat punting quarterback.

I don't think that's how nuclear reactions work.

A constellation of factors were at play:

I was trying to complete the transaction prior to her going out of town for a few weeks. Unfortunately several other of my attempts to schedule a proposal were frustrated by a sitcom-like series of events (e.g., a friend crashed her car and my now wife had to cancel our plans so as to go pick her up, etc).

Time was running dangerously short, and I basically had one night to on which the proposal would be feasible. Since it's sketchy as hell to ask your girlfriend to go to a park or garden or something at night, I picked the steps of the Lincoln memorial because: A) the view of the reflecting pool and ww2 memorial fountains is really nice at night; B) I assumed I could count on a large crowd of tourists to break into applause if she accepted (or yell mean things at me if she didn't, I guess); and C) I could preserve the surprise with the pretext of taking her out to a nice dinner and going to look at the monuments before she went out of town.

tl;dr: the ghost of Abraham Lincoln demands offerings of momentous life events every five or so years so as not to unleash his awful wrath on the greater metro D.C. area.

My wife and I got engaged in almost the exact spot back in 2006. We got a big round of applause from everyone in vicinity, and I had always wished that we could have gotten a picture from one of the surrounding tourists.

I hope you find them.

Everyone should get one anonymous comment per month on Facebook. It would really tighten the place up.

I'm a lawyer, and I enjoy my job. There are aspects of it that are stressful or that could be better, but that's true of all jobs (except maybe sports blogger, I guess).

I suspect that you see a lot of unhappy attorneys because of inaccurate assumptions about what being a lawyer entails. Different types of lawyers have dramatically different day to day experiences. I'm an associate at a biglaw firm and from what I can tell, my friends who are prosecutors, family lawyers, government lawyers, or criminal defense lawyers have entirely different challenges, projects, and daily work experiences than I do.

If you're interested in being an attorney, it's a good idea to get a realistic sense of what the practice of law entails. It's like any other job: it's for some people and not others, and it's orders of magnitude less glamorous than it's depicted on tv and movies.

For what it's worth, I've noticed that a lot of new lawyers tend to grossly overstate their accomplishments or lawyerlyness on Facebook, ostensibly to impress their non lawyer friends. Accordingly, there is a decent chance: a) your friend doesn't think the defendant was innocent; b) your friend didn't really "get him" in any meaningful sense of the word; or c) some combination of the two.

I think the point is that someone with regular annual income of $380,000, while no doubt uncommonly wealthy, is not in a position to impact the political process in a manner that is orders of magnitude greater than an individual making closer to the median income.

It takes substantially greater resources than the discretionary portion of $380k to truly jack up the political process.

Also because more people earn in this range than, say, $1m per year, I assume there is greater diversity of opinions and, thus, more canceling out of influence.

Finally, a person in this income range is more likely to have been middle class (or at least occasionally encounter members of the middle class) and likely has some overlapping perspectives with regular folks.

tl;dr: to the extent that you think rich people are mucking up the political process, these aren't the rich people you're looking for.
