It's what I meant buy the rich, and Top 1% especially. You tax them more and they just close shop.

But they still have ways to avoid being taxed- it ends up being 'taxed on paper' but not in practice. It's hard to imagine that people in the top bracket ($200K+) used to pay up to 91%

There's nothing wrong with statistics per se, but on tv I'd prefer they just crystallized the point to the public w/o all the numbers crunching. They pay for everything as it is.

Sorry? I don't understand.

Sorry? I don't understand.

I took "they pay for everything as it is" as including money to politicians.

Seriously? Did they ask anyone if it's offensive?

I remember seeing that a variant of COVID was named Omicron because they didn't want to offend Xi Jinping by naming it after a Greek letter THAT EXISTED MORE THAN 2000 YEARS AGO!!!!!!!!!!!!'

This is pathetic.

Do you know something about this incident that hasn't been reported, or are you assuming that all concealed carry permit holders are White? They aren't, BTW.

You don't see a problem with the ages of the three carjackers and the fact that they pulled at least one gun? 15-18 year olds aren't supposed to have guns. Do you know anything about Chicago, or are you using the news to get all of your info?

That old dude that I replied to was talking about "the Mayor turning the tables on the victim." Perhaps you can read before you post?

he can't help himself, he doesn't know the seriousness of car jacking problems in this country (FWIW it's up 10 fold in Philly this year) and God knows I doubt if he knows anything about the mayor of Chgo. Regardless he's the one that brought up the race card, shows you how the turd thinks .....

You showed nothing to connect your reply to the article and video by replying to him, yet, once again you expect people to wade through the noise in your mind in order to determine what the hell you meant. You mentioned wrong skin color and gender- assuming you were reacting to this as an attack on Chicago's Mayor, it makes me wonder if you know/have read anything about her contentious relationship she has with their police department, many of the people in Chicago and the abysmal crime rates that have only increased, even though they have very strict gun laws. Lightfoot is a real piece of work and the best thing for the city would be for someone else to be elected next time.

MKE has lost 73 people as of this morning to reckless driving and so far, more than 4700 crashes have occurred. The number of kids younger than 16 who were driving is incredible and the city is talking about it, but it's too early to see if it will help. This city passed last year's record for homicide about two weeks ago and the last ten days were bad- IIRC, 6 kids younger than 17 were shot. One house was targeted and shot from the street and a woman was shot while she was sleeping by someone standing outside of her bedroom window.

I wouldn't want to live in many parts of Chicago, but MKE is bad enough.
