I notice you said nothing about it being a fishing boat. Obviously it isn't. mspart

I was pretty clear. I said nothing about the fairness of his winnings. I said nothing about giving to charity other than that he will take a tax writeoff for it. He wants the rich to pay their fair share in taxes. I just see hypocrisy there. Will he or will he not deduct the gift to charity on his taxes? mspart

Two examples: 1. I have a friend that is on welfare, mostly because he is really physically not able to do much. My son ran a company that my friend could manage (and he has that experience). So I got them together. It was later in the season so here was not much more work to go but the concern was he needed to make so much to be able to not have to get his welfare money. Since it was the end of season he would not be able to afford things because welfare would cut him off and he wouldn't make enough to last until the next season. According to V, there is something broken in welfare. I agree. 2. I worked with a guy back in the mid 80s so this is a long time ago. He had a wife and a kid and wanted to just do the menial work he did for this plastering company in Phoenix. Why? If he made more, he would go off of welfare. There was more to be made but he didn't want it. Welfare does not encourage work at all. That is one of the bad things about it. mspart

Thems is strong words there ROF. mspart

I think he said he was going to give it all to charity. You can be sure he will deduct as much as he can for that. I have no problem with that but for a guy that says the rich should pay their fair share to go and do something like that, that just reeks. mspart

I nominate WKN. mspart

Said wingers told the Ds that obamacare would drive costs up because it is a subsidized situation. But the Ds would not listen and here we are. mspart

Fishing boats? Just like every other fishing boat I have ever seen. Yes, most all of them are that fast. And empty of fishing equipment. mspart

A tax on Meta will be passed on to the advertisers who will then raise their prices on the rest of us as we buy their products. Joe taxpayer pays all the taxes. Businesses don't pay a thing unless they decide to absorb the cost. Very few businesses can or will do this. mspart

Obama care, as V says, has made things more expensive. And that is with the subsidy that is ending at the end of this year. Just imagine how bad it will be without that subsidy. Sounds like education. Spend more money for a worse product. mspart

Again, what about Argentina. If 20B is exchanged for an equal amount of pesos, then we still have 20B. I don't see where the issue here is, unless this is not the case. mspart

I hope you have fun. When we went to the Dolomites we landed in Milan, and drove to Bolzano. From there we road tripped it to Passo Giau (very close to Cortina d'Ampezzo site of 2026 olympics) and back. Beautiful trip but the windiest road in the world. Seriously. https://www.facebook.com/groups/dolomitesforbeginners/posts/1415658583025769/ This just has a video that shows the end of the trip to Passo Giau, The road is crooked and the view spectacular. mspart

Five candles on cake word. mspart

Agreed. Keep it up. mspart

They have no idea what to do. They had control of the levers of power and now they are losing it and are apoplectic. mspart

I have heard Lake Como area is pretty nice. Torino is quite close and Milan as well. Genoa not much further . Of course Switzerland is right there. Dolomites are a little ways away but a beautiful area. mspart

sgallan knew a lot about wrestling and it was fun to read his opinions on such. mspart

Ice cream and cake word. mspart

Can you reduce it to a few sentences? Joe rogan shows are long. mspart

Taxes are necessary. But overspending on things that are not necessary, that weren't necessary 10 years ago but "now are" need to be looked at. WA just raised taxes by another 9 billion. How much is needed? mspart

Crazy talk word. mspart

I'm opening this up but the hot dog I can do, a brat, no way! mspart
