James Talarico and I obviously aren’t reading the same Bible
He’s for abortion on demand and men in women’s sports
Talarico even thinks God is non-binary
He’s crazy

@RyanCMullally I'm against taxing unrealized gains Ryan, but FYI, if you're a 'US person' and you invest in Mutual funds outside the US directly, you have to file form 8621 and pay taxes on unrealized gains.
English
This is why wealth taxes are idiotic.
Unrealized gains aren’t income.

$SPCX fell 16.5% today. On paper, @elonmusk lost about $150 billion, more than Warren Buffett's entire net worth. However, he's still the world's only trillionaire, so don't feel sorry for him.
English
I mean, ok, if you insist, the wealth tax can go down to $200 million rather than a billion. Fine.
Austin Rief ☕️@austin_rief
Friedberg hit Ro Khanna with an all-time ratio.
English
@ryangrim that's not the argument, Friedberg is asking Ro Khanna to VOLUNTARILY pay 5%, not to pass the law. he's asking Ro to lead by example, Ro is asking Elon to pay before passing the law.

Ro Khanna@RoKhanna
Elon, how about just paying the 5% instead of hurling random insults? And here are the facts, man. Your USAID cuts did this: ph.ucla.edu/news-events/ne…
English
@lautarodeIcampo the same thing happened to Liverpool against Manc and they lost the league. Rules are rules.
English
@egojab @Robertwaldeck @MakewiEatsSpam @SzyZat @mcuban @grok thats because you're comparing his effective tax rate to the wealth he owns. calculate your tax rate by including everything you own...house,car,stocks,401k,mutual funds. Your tax rate will be miniscule too.
English
@Metalrulz81 @Robertwaldeck @MakewiEatsSpam @SzyZat @mcuban @grok While that’s a large number, it still makes his effective tax rate minuscule in comparison to anyone who isn’t a billionaire. There is a reason he talks about the dollar amount he paid and not the effective tax rate.
English
Hey @grok, of the 10 wealthiest Americans , what percentage of their net worth is from founders stock ? Equity in companies they founded or co-founded ?
Mehdi Hasan@mehdirhasan
Yes @mcuban you’re right that 60% of US adults own stock directly or indirectly but what you omit to mention is that the richest 1% of Americans own nearly 50% of the stock market while the bottom half of Americans own just 1%.
English
@Robertwaldeck @MakewiEatsSpam @SzyZat @mcuban @grok you're changing the argument, you said they use "advanced tax avoidance" strategies, I said Elon didn't do that in 2022 and paid $11 billion. you ignored that and have moved on to Tesla not paying taxes.
English
Executive stock options narrow the corporate tax base by generating massive, non-cash tax deductions that wipe out corporate income tax liabilities. When a CEO exercises options, the corporation can deduct the "spread"—the difference between the strike price and the current market value—directly from its taxable income.
English
@Robertwaldeck @MakewiEatsSpam @SzyZat @mcuban @grok Musk paid $11 billion in taxes in 2022 when he cashed out his stock options.
English
@MakewiEatsSpam @SzyZat @mcuban @grok Which (1) is much later so time value of money reduces the actual value taxed; and (2) can also be avoided by complex tax shelters, trusts, stiftungen, etc. We are talking billionaires here with access to advanced tax avoidance strategies.

After calling football "commie ball" and fans "Europoors," they now want to take credit for a sport mainly watched and attended by the left.
Meghan McCain@MeghanMcCain
Europeans coming to our country for the World Cup and having the best time they’ve ever had and undoing decades of progressive propaganda in a week is *chefs kiss* incredible. USA!!!! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 (Also how does Europe not have ranch dressing)
English
@Seamonkeysammy @RubinReport @elonmusk thats because they had a lot of past losses that was offset against these profits, its a tax law that almost every country on earth has. Elon also paid $11 billion in taxes in 2022
English
Putting aside that @elonmusk already pays more taxes than anyone else, why would anyone want their kids sent to your government run indoctrination centers?
Elizabeth Warren@SenWarren
If Elon Musk paid my ultra-millionaire wealth tax, we could pay for child care for all three and four year olds in America.

@sleepy_devo @philthatremains Dev, what happened to Kristen Sinema and Joe Manchin
English
@philthatremains i'm not against voter id, obviously. but my point is that trump enforces an ideological purity while at the same time the right accuses the democrats of doing that very thing (and the dems don't even do that)
English
@IamSean90 video topic for
Eric W.@EWess92
@DaveSunday_ This is pretty crazy: The 5-2 Democrat Court finds Larry Krasner is so quick to falsely concede error in murder cases (to try to free convicted murderers) that it has tasked the Pennsylvania Attorney General with checking to make sure he's not lying. I've *never* seen this
English
@ZaidJilani if its all smoke and mirrors, why aren't you dragging Ro Khanna, he wants to tax this at 5%
English
More Americans can’t become trillionaires, Elon isn’t really one anyway because it’s all financial smoke and mirrors, and bro you really should’ve gotten some college education if you’re this simple.
Matt Walsh@MattWalshBlog
Tells you everything. Rather than: “let’s make sure many more Americans can become trillionaires” Instead it’s: “let’s make sure that no other Americans ever reach that level of success.” These people are parasites. Explicitly opposed to human flourishing. Amazing.
English
@theswoderman @GambianWarlord1 @sleepy_devo no because the seats still remain at 9, though in this hypothetical, 6 will have to be appointed otherwise the SC will shutdown.
English
@Metalrulz81 @GambianWarlord1 @sleepy_devo so if every supreme court justice got assassinated by the russian gov and the dems didn't hold *any* hearings for the rest of trump's term so that the next president could choose every justice on the supreme court you wouldn't consider that court packing by the dems?
English
"omg, you're pro-political violence? shouldn't we be turning down the temperature??"
Ryan C. Mullally - American Deist@RyanCMullally
@AirACE1918 @FBI @rcmpgrcpolice I exposed some crazy shit from Dev, Destiny and Whick in that debate. Thanks for watching!
English
English
@theswoderman @GambianWarlord1 @sleepy_devo court packing is when you add more justices to the SC, when did Republicans do that?
English
@GambianWarlord1 @sleepy_devo it shows that he isn't actually opposed to court packing, he just doesn't want dems to do it.
Republicans already did it recently and he didn't really care, it's only bad if dems do it.
English
@venomkekw @GenerallEXE @Awk20000 right, you saying Asmongold has selective outrage and me saying Mehdi too is selectively outraged, means I've added nothing to the conversation? ok.
English
@Metalrulz81 @GenerallEXE @Awk20000 Alternative to this evaluation makes you look like a retard b/c your comment added NOTHING of substance to the exchange you just joined.
Example: You are watching MMA fight and me coming in and saying "they are fighting" to a crowd gathered around the TV screen.
You see it now?

English
@venomkekw @GenerallEXE @Awk20000 "thats the sad state of affairs" means its unfortunate that both sides do it, you highlighted one side doing, i pointed to the other side doing it. That doesn't mean its ok.
English
@Metalrulz81 @GenerallEXE @Awk20000 "all of them do this, thats the sad state of affairs"
That's the implication of this sentence in context of the comment you replied to.
You dont have to say things verbatim in order to imply certain things.
English language is far more sophisticated than that.

@newsenjoyooor @RikkD4 @LeighWolf @EdMarkey tax dollars went to him in the form of a business contract,not a handout
