@robinhanson Grok, How do they calculate these numbers?

“The top 1% of earners take in 22% of total income & pay 40% of all federal income taxes. The top 10% earn about half the nation’s income & pay 72% of its taxes. The bottom half of earners, collectively, pay roughly 3% of the tax revenue. The United States, in fact, has the most progressive income-tax system in the developed world.” latimes.com/opinion/story/…

26 U.S.C. § 1 itself imposes the tax and thereby creates liability. A separate provision is not needed. The tax is imposed directly on the taxable income of the persons identified. Happy April 15th, belatedly, and I hope that you paid your taxes. Courts consider your legal argument as frivolous.

26 U.S.C. § 5001 imposes a tax on alcohol. 26 U.S.C. § 5005 creates the liability to pay the alcohol tax. 26 U.S.C. § 5701 imposes a tobacco tax. 26 U.S.C. § 5703 creates the liability to pay the tobacco tax. 26 U.S.C. § 4401 imposes a tax on wagering. Section 4401(c) creates a liability to pay the wagering tax. 26 U.S.C. § 1 imposes an income tax. However, there is no section that creates a liability to pay the income tax. That is not an accident. It's because the payment of the income tax is legally voluntary. The payment of those other taxes is mandatory. If anyone can find a section of the IRC that specifically creates a liability to pay the income tax, in the same way that the IRC establishes a liability to pay the alcohol, tobacco, or wagering taxes, please reply to this post with the citation.

Anybody out there who has some comments about the IU v SLU soccer game? Thanks. Spring Season is now a dead zone. #IUMS

@tradewithprof @alphatrends And ... see various YouTube videos of Brian Shannon in which he explains that Wall Street Traders, Hedge Fund Traders, Banks etc, etc actually use VWAP in their trading activities. Unlike many other indicators. Thanks Brian.

Q: why trail VWAPs from catalysts? (ala from Last night’s ceasefire) A: exhibit #13215 below. #NQ_F pulling back by to the aVWAP right off the RTH open. For additional explanation on the validity of this, see my friend @alphatrends excellent book on aVWAP.

@sspencer_smb Thanks very much. Your thoughts on TSLA are always meaningful because you understand its price action movement in this market. Greatly appreciated. TSLA at 355 on aftermarket now.

$TSLA into S3. overdone.

GROK says: The statistics are significantly affected by rising age at which people get married. The post specifically measures share of 30-year-olds who meet both conditions (currently married and living in a home they own.) Delaying marriage shrinks pool of people eligible for “married” part of the requirement, which automatically pulls down the combined percentage—even if homeownership rates among those who are married haven’t changed much

Percentage of Americans who are married and own a home at age 30: 1960: 52% 1970: 48% 1980: 45% 1990: 43% 2000: 35% 2010: 25% 2025: 12% This is wild.

Congrats to Scott on a well-deserved recognition. We appreciate all he does, but a special Thank-You for his guidance and cooperation during our "Worth The Wait" documentary movie days. #IUMS @IndianaMSOC

@NuclearMAGAlady According to Grok: No such Supreme Court decision exists on or around March 5, 2026, based on available records, official SCOTUS site checks, and contemporary news coverage. There is no matching case name or docket number for a final merits ruling (opinion) ...

🚨BREAKING: In a 5-4 decision, SCOTUS has struck down the Biden-Harris administration's rewrite of Title IX, which would have allowed men in women’s sports, bathrooms, locker rooms, dorms, and compelled speech. Do you support this decision? A. YES B. NO

Just a reminder that IU Soccer has won more National Championships than every sport at Purdue combined. Go Hoosiers. #IUMS @IndianaMSOC

Hoo Hoo Hoosiers Congratulations to Football for 1st Star. #iums

Bison are the only animal (or Team Mascot) that turns its head to face a storm ... Exactly like Coach Cignetti or Athletic Director Dolson or University President Whitten ... Go Hoosiers!!! I've been to many National Championships with the Tradition of Excellence IU Soccer. Never with a Bison. #IUMS @INDIANAMSOC #IUFB @CCignettiIU @ScottDolson @IndianaUniv

@ripfish @jakequery Yes. That Quinn Buckner. I was a sophomore in 1972 when he arrived on campus. He played both Football and Basketball. Then, I think Coach Knight "suggested" that he drop Football. Yet, QB-Squared got his nickname since he played two sports, very well.

@FresenGary @jakequery Like.. THAT Quinn Buckner??

ASIDE from Anthony Thompson or Antwaan Randle-El (givens): #IUFB fans- Tell me your all time favorite pre Cignetti IU football player.

@jakequery thedailyhoosier.com/iu-football-as…

@jakequery Quinn Buckner, leading tackles as Safety when a freshman. Known as QB2 (pronounced QB Squared)

@Hasnain_Alvi69 @alphatrends Amazing to see how many points of interest are identified by the VWAPs. Thanks for sharing. (But it does seem a bit of VWAP overkill. A cleaner chart might be better.)

It still feels like there aren't enough VWAPs @alphatrends

Rumors ? #IUMS
