Measured Take is where logic meets culture. Calm, thoughtful commentary on politics, music, and life — with a twist of confrontation when reason is violated.

@MichelleMaxwell I won't stop saying it... Guillotines need to make a comeback... Publicly. Problem is the citizens fear the government instead of the other way around. Time to change it.

🚨Breaking News: Democrat Governor blocks President Donald Trump's 'no tax on tips' rejecting a tax cut totalling tens of millions for the people of Virginia #Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger and Virginia Democrats have refused to honor tax on tips in the state. They blocked any change to Virginia’s tax code that would stop the state from taxing tips, forcing tipped workers to hand over a bigger share of their earnings to Richmond than they do to Washington. The federal “no tax on tips” policy was part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. It allows tipped workers to deduct up to $25,000 in tip income from their taxable income for tax years 2025 through 2028. The IRS reports that more than 6 million Americans have already claimed the deduction, with an average benefit of more than $7,100 per filer. Virginia, however, chose not to give the tax relief at a state level - with the new Democrat Governor ditching former Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin's budet proposals that included state-level deductions for tips, overtime pay and car-loan interest. The move will cost taxpayers in Virginia upwards of $80 million. Gov. Spanberger and her democrat colleagues have been accused of going on a 'taxing spree' since taking office, introducing dozens of new measures on taxing everything from digital services to dog walking. Tax proposals introduced by Virginia Democrats in the 2026 legislative session include: 🔷️3.8% net investment income tax on capital gains, dividends, interest, rental income, and other passive income for "higher earners " 🔷️Expanded sales tax on services like: fitness/gym memberships, pet care/dog walking/grooming, dry cleaning, vehicle repairs, home repairs, counseling, concerts/events, haircuts, and other personal services. 🔷️Tax or fee on retail deliveries - including food delivery like Uber Eats/DoorDash and packages from Amazon/UPS/FedEx, with some proposals for a 20-cent or 4.3% delivery fee especially in Northern Virginia 🔷️Taxes on firearms and ammunition - including an 11% excise tax proposal 🔷️Tax on large employers 🔷️Employer and employee premiums for a paid family and medical leave program - AKA new payroll-style tax 🔷️Regional local sales taxes in counties and cities - including for schools or transportation Tax on fantasy sports operators 🔷️New personal property tax on certain items like electric leaf blowers and landscaping equipment Tax on digital goods and subscriptions - including streaming services like Netflix 🔷️Higher hotel/motel taxes 🔷️Tax on data centers or skill games/gambling expansions for new revenue 🇺🇸ChristinaAguayoNews🇺🇸

@HouseDemocrats Please see Biden-Harris 2021-2024 for an actual example of driving the U.S. Economy (and more) into the ground.

Trump is driving the U.S. economy into the ground.  Fewer job opportunities. Rising inflation. And skyrocketing costs.  Life should not be this hard.

@eurofounder Well, if the Dutch were so great with this "tax" then they would be a bastion of the EU. HOWEVER, no one would want to live there after this. People will desire to leave. But, I'm sure the 3rd world immigrants, you're letting in, won't mind.

Netherlands just announced a new 120% wealth tax It will apply to the ultra-rich who earn above €150k per year So if you make €200k, you pay €60k on the €50k above the threshold Dutch officials explained it is to "discourage wealth hoarding behaviour" So beautifuly said Finally someone in Europe has the moral spine to put an end this selfish accumulation of wealth No human being should make over €150k a year It is a vulgar and borderline pornographic amount I hope more EU countries will adopt this progressive legislation This is why Europe is, and always will be, light years ahead of America

Trump cheated in 2016. Trump tried to cheat in 2020 and got caught. Trump cheated again in 2024. We MUST pass nationwide voter ID laws to stop Trump and his cohorts from cheating again in 2028. It’s time to pass the SAVE AMERICA ACT and SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY!! 🇺🇦🌊✊🏿💉😷

@360Griz @RevRayCistman "He killed the man who died from having put himself on fire" That's how what you said sounded like.🤷‍♂️ He wouldn't have died if he wasn't on drugs. So how exactly is it Derek Chauvin's fault? This logic doesn't hold up.

@CarrPcs1924 @RevRayCistman You don't always believe those who aren't in the action. I've never believed he was guilty. I feel that a mob outside of the court tainted the jury. Maxine waters instigated that.

@CarrPcs1924 @RevRayCistman So you're not a cop. I'm not but I do have common sense. If someone keeps stating I'm kneeling on someone's neck, but I'm not, I look (often) and then I don't look back. In today's world, dems (like you) lie to get cops to look away for attacking or to give someone chances.

@SenWarren Some categories (e.g., certain meats, nonalcoholic beverages) rose more; others (e.g., dairy in 2025) fell slightly. This means you're lying or willfully manipulating public data. Perhaps both.

@SenWarren Since early 2024 to early 2026: Approximately 4–6% total rise in grocery prices, depending on exact start/end months. This is far below double-digit spikes seen in 2021–2023. (courtesy of USDA)

@elonmusk Wall-E. If anyone remembers, the population was NOT aware of their surroundings and how everything failed them. It wasn't an instruction manual. Take away people's ability to do a job and you dehumanize the person. You're advocating for unemployment on a mass scale. Huge fan BTW.

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.
