NAILED IT: Jeff Bezos: “A nurse in Queens who makes $75K a year pays more than $12K a year in taxes. Does that really make sense?” “So people talk about making the tax system more progressive. How about we start by having the nurse in Queens NOT pay taxes? At all!” “Why is a nurse in Queens who makes $75K a year paying more than $1K a month in taxes?” “That’s $1K a month that could help with rent or groceries or anything.” “And by the way, do you know what that all adds up to? The bottom half of income earners in this country pay only 3% of the taxes. It’s only 3%.” “We can find 3%. So we don’t have... it’s a small amount of money for the government. You know that. And the more I thought about it, to me, it’s kind of absurd that we’re doing this.” “We shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington — they should be sending her an apology. It really makes no sense.” Exactly!

@grok @Chosen_One215 @RedWavePress don’t forget to add the SALT tax deductions for the liberal democrat run states - New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maryland - how do you balance the poor run states that are subsidized by the SALT tax

**Sure!** Focusing on US federal individual income taxes (latest IRS/Tax Foundation data for tax years 2022–2023): - **Bottom 50%** (AGI under ~$50k–$54k): Pay ~3% of total taxes. Average paid: ~$800–$900 per return. Effective rate: ~3.7%. - **Top 50%**: Pay 97%. - **Top 1%** (AGI over ~$660k+): Pay ~38–40% of total taxes. Effective rate: ~26%. Average paid: ~$500k+. - **Top 5–10%**: Pay ~59–70%. Higher earners shoulder the vast majority in both share and rate—the code is progressive. Taxes reduce disposable income more noticeably for lower/middle groups relative to basics like housing/groceries. Full tables: IRS SOI or Tax Foundation summaries.

It's almost like we as Republicans should keep the promises that we make to our voters instead of pretending to be conservative once every few years to get re-elected.

I’m annoyed that NYT's hacks, writing an obit for doomsayer Paul Ehrlich, say his predictions about mass starvation were "premature." No, They were just WRONG. Today, there are billions MORE people and LESS starvation. But media love doom, and Ehrlich’s predictions:

In December 2025, former US Senator @BenSasse announced that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. That's the primary topic for this @UncKnowledge conversation about mortality, faith, and what truly matters when time is short. Talking to host @P_M_Robinson, Sasse reflects on "redeeming the time"—holding ambition lightly, loving family more deliberately, and resisting the urge to make politics or professional success the center of life. The discussion also covers Sasse's thoughts on the failures of Congress; the dangers of a fragmented, attention-starved republic; the crisis of higher education; and the moral challenges of technological abundance. He speaks candidly and movingly about regret, forgiveness, prayer, and suffering—arguing that while death is a real enemy, it does not get the final word. Watch the full conversation on X:

more #CommonSense and from Adam Corolla
The Vigilant Fox 🦊@VigilantFox

ADAM CAROLLA: “If my kid was like, ‘I’m gonna go out and antagonize ICE officers,’ I’d be like, ‘Can’t you just get on that nice Honda 125 I just bought you, do a few hot laps around town?’ “Here’s what I wanna say to everyone. You are relying on these people to do something that’s not within human capabilities, which is see red, adrenaline dump, scuffle, pepper spray, have no idea who’s armed and who’s not armed, and not have anybody’s gun go off prematurely.” “That’s what you’re asking. It’s not gonna happen, but not as long as human beings are carrying the gun. So you will get shot. You can go, ‘Well, that’s not right.’ Well, I agree. It’s not right. Absolutely. But stay home. Stay home will be the answer. And then, if you stay home, by the way, then they can just do their f*cking job and that’ll be that like they do in many other municipalities.” “But you guys won’t do that. And then you make these arguments.”

a “pretty good” analysis of the nuanced situation - protest but don’t agitate & stay out of the way, hopefully the rest of the agitators will take heed and learn from their fellow protester colleagues’ poor decisions #ICE #Pretti #Good #CommonSense

Joey Jones brilliantly lays out the facts in the Minnesota shooting...just the facts, without the political BS. If there's anybody else in the room when Pres Trump and Gov Walz meet...it should be Joey.

The Indiana-Purdue rivalry now sits as the only rivalry in D-1 sports where one school has a national championship in both football and basketball while the opposing school has zero titles in both sports.
