The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Back when President Obama wanted to reverse Bush's "tax cuts for the rich" - something he didn't DARE do in an economic downturn but waited......

Liberals used to love to say how "the rich" pay a lower tax rate and how Buffet pays a lower rate than his secretary.

now, here, today, they are in denial about being Ronald Reagan and NOT raising taxes on the rich - and they can;'t stand that the 'great economy' - is here WITHOUT tax hikes on 'the rich'.

They feebly point to a 15% mind corporate tax rate.

But did that kick in? When did it kick in? Sorry but a tax rate being in effect for 2 seconds doesn't result in any difference. Here's to Biden for NOT raising taxes on the rich.

In the meantime, here's what Liberals were peddling back in the day....and now, can't stand that their precious 15% tax rate on multinationals is LOWER than many middle class Americans would pay.

abcnews.go.com - Warren buffett and his secretary talk taxes.

"Warren Buffett and His Secretary on Their Tax Rates"
"Buffett's secretary since 1993, Debbie Bosanek, sat next to her boss just hours after being invited by the president to the State of the Union address, where the president made her the face of tax inequality in America.

Bosanek pays a tax rate of 35.8 percent of income, while Buffett pays a rate at 17.4 percen"

BUILD BIDEN'S LIBRARY NEXT TO REAGAN OR W BUSH!!!!!! Mind you, Biden is more Trumpy on border policy than Reagan or Bush was.

Biden is too far right for Reagan and Bush.

See that kiddo? Just embrace your new political reality. Your corporatism cannot hide any longer. Long Line Club 401K
