@JayWeber3 @Wonder4Woman70 Come on Jay, I am sure a few are 1/1,024 Native American. You know, Elizabeth Warren’s kin.

And look at the rainbow of ethnicities and skin colors Colbert employed.
200 employees. All White. IN NEW YORK CITY!
Seriously: Don't you have to-work-to create a staff this White in New York? Intentionally exclude applicants of color?
I'd think so.

@nicksortor @Ilhan The Dems would complain about the security expenditure if he did attend.

Democrats are giving Trump sh*t for not *publicly* committing to attend Don Jr.’s wedding in a FOREIGN COUNTRY
Ilhan Omar called him the “worst parent in the world.”
Question for @Ilhan: did your parents attend your wedding when you married your brother?
Also, if 47, DID go, they’d be whining on TV about it all day.
Not to mention they’d try to kiII him while he’s there.
We’re dealing with some truly horrible people.

@DavidCCrowley @TomTiffanyWI Hi County Executive Crowley! Was it President Trump's fault that you let your employees' health insurance lapse and then didn't tell anyone for nearly a month earlier this year?

Hi @TomTiffanyWI - mind asking your boss to pay Southeast Wisconsin what he owes for storm cleanup?
Or are you too busy diverting taxpayer money into his insurrection slush fund?

Now seems like a pretty good time to remind everyone that @DavidCCrowley just hired the Milwaukee Public Schools budget leader to run Milwaukee County’s budget office. This is the same MPS budget leader who oversaw the district going $46 million over budget last school year.

If that addict on your street were your own son, what would you do? That is the defining question that guides my 5 step plan to fix the homelessness problem in LA. We *must* end this evil racket of corrupt politicians and NGOs who profit off the misery of these poor souls. They launder money and feed them more drugs, so they can keep their customers locked in this hell on our streets. We have a moral obligation from God to help them and make our city safe and clean for everyone. Karen Bass and Nithya Raman have forsaken this city. Time for real leadership. Time for real compassion.

@DarkoStateNews My favorite presser was when Urban called his wife and told her to pick up milk on the way home. 7-0

Wisconsin families are tired of politicians replacing common sense with woke nonsense.
In Wisconsin, moms are moms. They are not “inseminated persons” like @GovEvers said or “birthing bodies” like @FrancescaHongWI said.
This November, let’s protect Wisconsin values.

@DarkoStateNews Because $500k plus cash bag is hard to pass under the table 🙄🙄🙄

That’s interesting.
Why did they dissolve it when the story broke?
Why did Corum lie about it?

@intrinsicvalyou @DarkoStateNews @BuckeyeScoop @bmoses30 @UMichFootball you don’t set up an LLC to keep a secret, lol. it’s a registered entity with the state. it would have been much easier to just pay under the table if that was the aim. and newsflash, booster payments were legal at the time this LLC was set up… it’s called NIL.

So, I went and read this bill Juliana keeps talking about.
It’s AB 1209.
It’s authored by gubernatorial candidate @FrancescaHongWI and it’s absolutely bonkers.
Please get comfortable and stick around because there is a whole lot of craziness to unpack.
First, the bill raises taxes on filers in Wisconsin’s top income tax bracket by 15.69% these are people making over $323K.
So now we know how they’re defining “super rich” and “billionaire.” It’s people making $323K.
This alone would make WI the 9th highest income tax state but the bill doesn’t stop there.
AB 1209 creates a new bracket starting at $750K and sets the tax rate at 17.70%.
17.70!
Under Hong’s plan, WI will be #1 in America for income taxes.
So who will be paying this tax?
Billionaires?
Not really.
Wisconsin hardly has any.
The majority of payers will be mom and pop small businesses.
This is because the overwhelming majority of small businesses file not as corporations but as individuals, pass-throughs, S-corps, etc… and pay the individual tax rate.
Close to 80% of small businesses file this way and a substantial majority of people who will be hit by this 17.7% tax will be small businesses.
So this isn’t a “billionaires” tax at all.
This is a successful small business tax.
And this is all before we get into the strange way the bill plans to increase state school aids.
Under the bill, for purposes of calculating equalization aids and revenue limits, a middle class English speaking child will only count as 71% of a child as compared to a limited-English, low income pupil.
I thought all children were equal but I guess under Hong’s bill some are more equal than others.
I’d love to see the Legislative Fiscal Bureau run this district by district so we can see who wins and who loses under Hong’s weird plan of counting some children as lesser than other children.
Finally, I don’t see anything in the bill limiting property taxes. Presumably they would just keep going up despite increased state aids.
So, how would this net out?
If this bill passed, we could immediately expect:
- Most of WI’s wealthiest would leave.
- Thousands of small businesses would close their doors.
- Large corporations will transfer their executives elsewhere and some will abandon Wi. It will no longer be possible to recruit talent to WI. (This is happening with Starbucks and Amazon right now in Washington over a 9.9% tax. Guess what a 17.7% tax will do.)
- The Packers and Brewers will not be able to recruit talent. (I spent last week with some NFL players and they assured me that this is a big deal).
- Tax revenues will plummet. WI will face a budget deficit and effectively go into recession.
- Despite the new state aid increases, local governments appear to be able to raise property taxes more (and they’ll need to after commercial values plummet due to all the office buildings being abandoned).
If this isn’t bad enough, the Hongs and Julianas of Wisconsin have other bills including a local option super tax, which is a great way to chase entrepreneurs out of your city.
But the point is that this is unserious policy. To call it sophomoric is an insult to sophomores.
This is economic suicide that can only come from the fever dreams of fervent communists.
After reading it, I’m more motivated than ever to elect @TomTiffanyWI.
