@realrepayne You brought up, as simplicity, I finished your equation. The 1% pay a disprortionate amount, relative to benefits, just like in other forms of taxation.

@RealRickRule It's a govt program, well established with the benefits defined for many years. Easy to ask wealthy to pay their share by lifting the cap. 60% of Americans favor it. It will happen. Truth is indeed simple.

And the Mayor's resume with regards to housing and development... or, anything?

What is the city of #Seattle doing to solve their housing crisis? @MayorofSeattle discusses her 'taller, denser, faster' growth plan w/ @jcurleyshow. Full video here: mynorthwest.com/john-curley/se…

@realrepayne notice that their benefits are similarly capped. Which is to say that while they pay 4% of the costs, they recieve less than 1% of the benefit. Would you favor ' uncapping" the benefit?
Truth is indeed, simple.
English
@RealRickRule Top 1% pay 4% of total Social Security taxes. Need to lift the cap so the 1% pay their fair share. Simply true.

@RealRickRule Government during every debt spiral go rogue .
We need a government to control the government from growing too big, over spending and going rogue against its citizens which hired them for their embitterment not destruction

The government use surveillance taxation, when they notice that someone has money, they come for it
Robert Reich@RBReich
Did JetBlue admit to surveillance pricing? Even though they denied it, multiple corporations have been caught using the shady practice. Former FTC Chair Lina Khan explains.

another one leaves. The remaining tax payers must pick up the pieces. Capital goes where it is well treated.

Take a bow, @People4Pedersen @GovBobFerguson @MayorofSeattle It's all going great. Nearly $1B in forecast tax revenue from Starbucks on its way out the door.

“The lessons that I should have learned early, I learned after 10 or 12 years, very painfully. Natural resource-based businesses are capital intensive and cyclical, and when they’re doing extremely well, they’re getting ready to do extremely poorly. I unfortunately didn’t anticipate that; I experienced it, which was a truly ugly circumstance.”

@RealRickRule correct, fighting is dumb (but Rick, weren't you whining the other day about the brain drain from Canada to the US?)

In a market fight, Musk vs. the Government of Canada... who do you reckon wins?

Does anyone in Ottawa understand basic physics? It's significantly easier (ie, cheaper) to launch to space from near the equator. That's why Europe's space port is in French Guiana. Anyone launching from Canada is either an idiot or expecting massive government subsidies.

Sir, as you well know, both gangs of thieves exist to steal
Robert Reich@RBReich
Republicans in the states are redistricting early at the behest of Donald Trump. The response by Dems in Virginia, California, and elsewhere to counter-balance is being triggered only by a blatant plot to steal the midterms. This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom.

Many " gains" are illusory. The purchasing value of your invested capital declines over time.
The CPI is illusory, as a management tool as well.
Chart the price increases in a basket of goods and services your family consumes.
The real decline in the purchasing power of US$ is more like 8% compunded, than 2.5% compounded
English
@RealRickRule Have an inflation adjustment? That would be an interesting twist. I’d be interested in seeing the numbers
English
They propose to solve this problem by instituting a wealth tax, which would greatly diminish capital gains. That is the government's idea for problem solving.
jim iuorio@jimiuorio
Current capital gains tax rate is 29%…this level is absurdly punitive and self defeating. The most simple way to stimulate the economy is to stop this moronic travesty…

Washington state has the 10th highest median Property Taxes in the country.
Higher than Texas;
Higher than Florida;
And significantly higher than Idaho or Tennessee.

Sir, you are misusing the word free, someone pays. Your own education was over priced.

Oh no — next comes free preschool, free school meals, higher wages, and tuition-free community college. Truly terrifying stuff.

@BrandonDetroitM @quakes99 Should 80,000,000 lbs come tom represent a strategic inventory, and should a solvent entity bid a significant premium, I'm certain that Sprott would reflect the bid to unit holders.

Saying the uranium will never be sold is just terrible marketing!!!! There's also another matter they better get hip to. The U.S Government can and will seize that uranium if they need to and then they'll put a number on it they think is fair. I believe that SPROTT should start marketing a number. A high number!!! Like $1500 a pound. This will protect them by normalizing a number they make in the industry and also give the market number that everyone could use in their equations. @quakes99 @RealRickRule @capnek123 @derekquick1 @ProvenReserves @finding_finance @ResourceTalks

@RealRickRule The easiest way to shut down this style of liberal is to simply ask, “Who pays for it?”
