Gavin Newsom's wife: we have to use the powers of government to stop boys from becoming right wing

@RadioGenoa A Carnival Cruise?

Gala lunch.

@BladeoftheS What is the obsession with 800 people?

@DarrigoMelanie Do you even know what a right off is?

If CEOs can write off the private jets and yachts they say are necessary to do their jobs, then their employees should be able to write off the student loans for the college degrees these CEOs say are necessary to have their jobs.

@haugejostein I was fortunate to spend some time in Cuba when Obama was president. I'll never forget the conversation I had with someone who befriended us about Cuba's HC system. "You Americans and your fascination with our healthcare. What good is free healthcare when I can't feed my family?"

The idea that capitalism = freedom is a myth. Capitalism restricts freedom in countless ways. Under highly capitalist systems, basic needs are commodified. Freedom becomes paywalled. Rich people have freedom, poor people don't.

@PetreSolheim @haugejostein And where have socialists freed people from poverty?

@haugejostein When capitalists talk about ‘freedom’ they really mean ‘rich people should be have the freedom to exploit the poor’ and ‘rich people should be free to run Epstein Island child-sex trafficking operations’. In contrast, socialists say all humans should be freed from poverty.

@johnsonstickk @Akashq10 @UziCryptoo What are you even talking about? I owned two companies with roughly a dozen employees. I never estimated anything. Payroll software with tax tables automatically calculates everything based on local, state, and Fed brackets.

@stone_skipping @Akashq10 @UziCryptoo … what do you think tax returns are for individuals, exactly?… I’ll give a hint: your employer estimated your income tax to be higher than it actually was.

HOT TAKE: IF BUSINESSES ONLY HAVE TO PAY TAXES ON PROFIT, NOT REVENUE, THEN I SHOULD ONLY HAVE TO PAY TAXES AFTER I'VE PAID ALL MY BILLS AND RENT.

@johnsonstickk @Akashq10 @UziCryptoo No, businesses take out what is established by the Fed, state, and local municipalities. Businesses pay upfront on estimates of expected profit for the year. Salaries are fixed for the most part, with the only difference coming in a possible midyear raise.

@stone_skipping @Akashq10 @UziCryptoo Most Americans are paying taxes up front, based on estimates of how we think the is going. Businesses are legally required to automatically take your income tax estimate directly from your paycheck. The only exclusion to this is if you make under a certain amount (10k or so).

@JayHohenzollern @UziCryptoo Not even close to legal or possible. If you’re an employee, your employer must pay you (a person), not your LLC. Wages are reported on a W-2, tied to your Social Security number. You can’t just “route” that into an LLC and call it profit. The IRS would reclassify that instantly.

@UziCryptoo Don’t know if it’s true, but i’ve heard you can start an llc & have your paychecks go to it as “profit”. That llc can be in a trust & you can make yourself the beneficiary of said trust. Or something of that nature. Again, idk, it’s just what I’ve heard. More research is needed.

@Akashq10 @UziCryptoo Because they pay taxes on income. And we had to file quarterly. We'd have to send a check to the Fed every quarter based on estimates of how we thought the year was going to, well before taxes were filed.

@UziCryptoo if corporations pay tax after expenses… why do individuals pay tax before survival?

@thepushpesh @UziCryptoo Deduct everything?? Tell me you've never owned a business without telling me.

@UziCryptoo Businesses get to deduct everything before tax... meanwhile my "profit" starts after rent, food, and bills? Make it make sense, government!

@UziCryptoo Yes, tax businesses on revenue, because who needs profit anyway? Bankruptcy builds character. Confusing revenue with profit is like confusing your salary with what’s left after bills. One is real, the other is fantasy. Are there that many financially illiterate people in the US?

Walk the Walk MAGA!

@nycfort @nickshirleyy @SenWarren Because we don't tax wealth. Norway and Switzerland are the only two countries with a true wealth tax. Top rate is 1.5%. Everyone else got rid of it.

@nickshirleyy @SenWarren absolute clown take. fraud exists so we shouldn't tax extreme wealth? That's how crooks like you keep the status quo. disgusting

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

@genesimmons Why does anyone care what someone else makes?

This is a loser’s question. Warren Buffet, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk all get up every day and try to make more. No matter how much they’ve got. Get out of your losers’s mentality, and try to win in life, every day.

@The_Aseperiz @FoxNews Unfortunately neither side will move. And I think those who are in favor of just allowing sex at birth have the moral high ground to stand on. The left will never give an inch. "Trans women are real women" is basically biblical text to them.

@FoxNews This is a really complex issue, and it’s clear both sides feel strongly about fairness and inclusion. It’s going to take more than headlines to actually find a balance everyone can agree on 🤝🗣️

OUT OF BOUNDS: Megan Rapinoe slams the new IOC policy limiting women’s events to biological females based on sex testing. "This committee is framing it as based in science, which it’s not," she said. "This will ultimately just prevent people from competing within the women’s category that they feel like they have an unfair advantage. It’s just really hateful."

@JamieBonkiewicz He seems to be incredibly kind here. youtube.com/watch?v=Y9khYf…

He was a racist podcaster

@DallasSp0rtsFan @JasonFoxworth4 @DallasStars @Lexus So, did the refs prevent the Stars from getting more than 4 SOG in the 2nd and 5 in the 3rd? If that's the case, you have a pretty weak team. Good luck with that.

@JasonFoxworth4 @DallasStars @Lexus 2 is not bigger than 1. And the Refs refused to call penalties on y'all even when they were staring right at the penalty.

Final

@DallasSp0rtsFan @DallasStars @Lexus Talk about projection. Jamie Benn is one of the dirtiest POS in the NHL.

@DallasStars @Lexus They really needed the refs to bail them out. Dirty players and franchise those Avs are.

@SabuzView Why hasn't he hit 100%?

BREAKING: Senator Elizabeth Warren warns that President Trump has terminated 50% of employees at the Department of Education. What's your response ?
