Shoot I forgot he raced a few last year. Feel like he’s been out for a couple years.

He had to be close to losing his number right? I know they let Dungey keep 5 when he came back and raced. Since nobody had taken it yet. Maybe the same deal here.

Yes. How else can you describe a party that, per public polling and how people vote when directly voting on issues, have the overwhelming majority of the popular policy positions but still lose all the time?

Yes if people decide they don’t want to or can’t donate to charities then they are done. It could happen at any time. Will it? Doubtful. But do we want a system where people are entirely dependent on the generosity of others or should we have a system that just has a few basic guarantees in place for veterans who...

It's sad to see the US education system in action, let me explain it for you... If Bezos spent $100 million building a yacht, it would not be built in the US, the business and jobs @JM485 is outlining would be in Germany, Italy or the Netherlands. It would be a personal expense and not tax deductible. If Bezos decided to build more Amazon warehouses in the US, it would provide business and people in the US with work during construction, and employment for people working inside the warehouses after construction. It would be a business expense for Amazon, and...

Of course billionaires spend money! You think he’s not going to buy his yacht and literally anything else he thinks he wants at that moment because he his assets would have been 300 billion but instead the growth from 270 billion to 300 billion got taxed at 10% and only gave him 297 billion instead? I think we’d both be...

He would not notice one bit. Billions in wealth is unfathomable to 99.99% of people to ever live. If his current wealth did not grow or shrink till the end of time, he could spend an average of 1 million per day and it would take him over 800 years to exhaust his wealth. But let’s just assume a measly...

Although I’m not sure I’d ever want to attend it because of how insanely packed it always is and I almost always have something going on during 4th of July Weekend, Red Bud is always awesome and hard to bet against. The prime track. The fans. If you think about it, fans you usually don’t hear much on an MX...

It’s not about “entitlement”. It’s creating a more progressive tax system so we don’t end up in the Second Gilded Age, which many historians and economists argue we are already in. It gives the middle class more of a chance and keeps the billionaires from holding all the political and economic power in the country. And again, hundreds of billions...

Very few states have an inheritance tax. And none of them apply to any stocks. So a billionaire can just borrow against his stocks his entire life. Pass those down to his kids when he passes. The cycle repeats. Stock values continue growing at a rate in one year most never make in a lifetime. Quite literally never pay taxes...

It wasn’t long ago political differences didn’t define us, we didn’t hate the other side, we accepted election results, and everything wasn’t a grand conspiracy. Obama and Romney respected each other. So did Obama and McCain. Etc. Etc. We are in a different world now. Not going to come back from it for a long time.

Good question! A lot would need to be worked out and it would need to be gradually implemented properly. An easy start is that they pay a % of tax on all unrealized gains over a certain amount. So if your assets increase from 5 billion to 10 billion, you are taxed on 5 billion of that at 10% for...

Nope actually I understand economics just fine. Seems to be you who is confused. 1. They are absolutely hiding their wealth. Nobody can seriously argue otherwise. I mean it’s hiding in plain sight but it’s still hiding it from taxes. They don’t have an actual job like most people in the world. So they avoid those types of taxes. Then...
