These are the economist cousins of the 51 intelligence officers who wrote a Russian hoax letter and the FBI "statisticians" who think, magically, no murders have happened in several major cities. They are also related to the top government expert who declared unequivocally that "Masks are not effective against an airborne virus" several days before he recommended full masking, double masking, lockdowns of every sector of the economy, closing schools for years, etc. All of these "experts" come from the same DNA (Democrat Nincompoop Academy).

We have layered government entities taxing you. The Feds get their slice but you also have to consider ALL of the money you pay to ALL of the governments. Social Security (you should count both yours and the employers' portion as the tax revenue generated due to your activities), FICA, Fed income, State income, State sales, local income, local property, all the excise taxes on fuels, all the fees you pay to the government to drive cars, have a pet, etc. etc. You should even count a portion of business/corporate profit taxes paid because those companies are paying their taxes with the revenue you provided by buying their goods and services - with money that was already taxed when you spent it. Same for all customs and duties fees paid by companies. They pay them in advance and then you reimburse them when you buy the goods. If you don't pay 46% or more to the governments (collectively) it is due to you either having next to zero economic activity other than working or you are receiving untaxed government money as your primary income source.

Taxes are very high based on history. The percentage of a person's income, or of GDP, that is gobbled up by government agencies is increasing. The silly concept that federal marginal income rate that applies to a small slice of the population means "taxes are up or taxes are down" shows lack of basic numeracy. Taxes are the highest they have ever been in terms of actual dollars paid by actual Americans to their various governments. Americans are paying the highest taxes in our history. BY FAR.

FBI "data" is as honest and reliable as FBI FISA warrants. The paper it is written on is only useful to wipe your backside after taking a blowout dump resulting from an overdoze of TurboLax. Now, apply the only good use of any FBI document whatsoever. Throw in anything signed by 51 intelligence officers for your next butt wipe and you will have maximized the usefulness to society of both documents.

Coriolis Effect, natch.

So . . . the FBI is either lying or wrong. Seems like the two leading skills for the FBI is lying AND being wrong. It is bad when one set of swampies directly contradict another set of swampies. These two swampie brethren are within the DOJ swamp family. So, Tiny, who you gonna believe? The FBI or the actual victims of crimes? Nevermind, we already know.

??? Maybe I did not make it clear. I am all for American Criminals going after Illegal Alien Criminals if the dem-bosses in demlands won't do it. The gangbangers may be bad guys but at least they are OUR bad guys so they get the nod over the Illegal Alien Bad Guys. No terror here. Mild bemusement is a more accurate way to describe it. Oh, also, not a GOPer. Just watching the passing scene and commenting from time to time.

In the sense that when the government will not do the tasks assigned to it (maintain law and order, borders, etc.) then the civilian population must do it. This is a complete failure of democratic governance at the local, city, state, national, and international level. This is not surprising, astonishing, or in any way not predictable. Yet BLM still thinks that nerdy white guys in the suburbs who are just trying to get to work on time, pay their mortgage, pay their taxes (which is more of their income than their mortgage), and get along is the threat. Let the games begin. Real life Escape from New York type things are about to happen - courtesy of your own votes, Chicagoans! En garde.

it is kind of weird having the Dems running against the record of the Dems. Doubly weird to have the Kam-eleon run against her own record. The problem is that the Dem and brain dead independents are too stupid (or too indoctrinated) to know this.

BASELESS and NO EVIDENCE of exactly the election fraud your eyes see.

Everyone who is not an 81 million ballot army IS asking. And has been asking since Biden's "win" in S. Carolina's primary in 2020. NO ONE IS ANSWERING.

Sixth Sense. The first movie I wanted to rewatch immediately after seeing it to revel in how geniously the moviemakers had duped me. I liked it much more the second time through catching all of the hints I missed the first time.

Pro Life? Voting for only pro-life candidates, then, aren't you? More children were killed in the last 14 minutes by their mothers and doctors ON PURPOSE than the IDF has ever killed by accident in chasing terrorists.

It is BASELESS and there is NO EVIDENCE those people are dead. No court has ruled they are dead. This is voter suppression and certainly racist. Now give the DNC those ballots so they can fill them out properly for all those dead, felonious, and no longer here people.

Rhode Island did the same thing to keep out the New York filthy heathens during covid.

BASELESS. NO EVIDENCE. 51 intelligence officials are about to issue a letter.

Yes. I am either an Omniphobist or a Mega-Istophobe depending on if one prioritizes ists or phobes as the biggest meanies. Crazy, isn't it, when one considers that I also can mark Hispanisemtican on any Ethno/Racial survey? But I guess I pass for white-ish which makes me the embodiment of evil.

Indiana Trump and the Election of Doom https://babylonbee.com/news/trump-dodges-falling-piano-swinging-death-blade-spiked-pitfall-trap-on-way-to-rally

Not to go all nerd on this but I think it is State and Local Taxes. Reduction of the federal tax deduction (it should have been eliminated) for the state and local income, property, and other taxes. It came in under Trump's tax overhaul. The original proposal was to eliminate it. The compromise was to cap the deduction at $10k. The principal is that whether you make $100k in Florida or Tennessee or New Jersey you should have the same responsibility to pay for our federal government. There should be no federal tax discount just because your local politicians want to steal more of your money. It is a good principal. The "giveback" in the original bill was a significant increase in the standard deduction. Trump has no principals so he is caught being against limiting SALT after being for SALT. He is just pandering, of course. Usually he panders at a lower end of the socio-economic scale (i.e. tip earners and OT wage workers) rather than to upper middle class homeowners in blue states - who were the main group hurt by SALT. However, if he wins only 1 or 2% more votes in the metro Philly, Atlanta, Phoenix, Milwaukee, Detroit, or Las Vegas areas he'll probably win. Therefore, "just win baby" seems to be the theme of this election season.

By Coping Mechanism do you mean NOT COPING? A coping mechanism would be getting a second job to pay for medical needs, or changing lifestyle (diet, exercise, sleep) to minimize negative medical outcomes if this is related to influencable body chemistry or composition. Splurging is not coping. Splurging, bingeing, shooting up, toking, etc is the deferment of coping.

“Your question is incredibly dangerous." You have engaged in wrongthink so bad as to border crimethink. Mr Doocy, you may be referred for re-education unless you rethink your dangerosity.

Probably because she can't finger paint like Hunter B. She has to ghostwrite more memoirs because she has no other talent.

\ The Democratcy Ambassador (i.e. the STAZI snitch on your neighbor who thinks unapproved thoughts) page from the despicable Michigan Secretary of State is beclowning her own organization with pictures of patriots displaying the American flag in an, um, unAmerican manner. Probably just pathetic ignorance rather than willful disrespect but unfortunate nevertheless.

Whoa. Talk about wetbacks!
