It wouldn’t necessarily be that awesome for the middle class, since it would depend on what the tiers are for that 15% and what changes were made to deductions. The current brackets put a 15% rate on taxable income ( that is, AGI after deductions not raw income) up to 38K for singles and 75K for couples, or 50K for…

Nah.

Except it won’t because North Carolina is gerrymandered (and vote suppressed) within an inch of its life and the GOP won’t be giving up control of it any time soon. Even if some of these orders end up getting overturned down the road they do damage now by throwing sand in the gears of government.

Yes. The CURRENT governor. The one who just lost and then spent a month trying to overturn the election and refusing to concede and then called this special session in the first place. Something tells me he won’t mind signing these bills if they reach his desk.

Any chance we could get a Christmas post/season MVP wrap up post from EVANS next week? Pretty please?

Probably not, it’s high enough that you will almost certainly die. That’s actually a way a number of people have ended their lives. I’ve run the bridge a couple times as part of a 5K, and the top has tons of sign imploring people not to jump and numbers for suicide crisis hotlines.

They are falling for it less and less, and when they are, it’s often not the majority of locals (as would be the case with a referendum), but a small group of officials who make the deal then FRO.

Which is absolutely his prerogative. Just like it’s the city’s prerogative to not give him public money. So everyone ends up happy.

Yup. Coronado Bay Bridge.

Good thing we don’t need to dump it to be rid of it.

Like it or not, California is the most important to the overall economy of the US.

Why should the opposite be true?

Since when? Why do you think 4 of the first 5 Presidents were from Virginia?

Sure, you’ll live. Just not as long if you depend on medicare.

Yup, totally my literal meaning.

It wasn’t a compliment. I don’t think trolls are clever at all.

Yes, the Bush Administration dropping a small program targeting muslim immigrants during the first year of the Iraq War was definitely a move based on political expediency. I’m sure that won him a ton of votes. Probably what won him Ohio in 2004. Sure thing.

Oh I get it. This is some slow burn trolling. Come in acting all rational and saying everything will be fine, but then devolve into the same old tired whiny right wing talking points. Have to give you credit, you kept you cover pretty long. Not sure what the point of it was but you do you I guess.

Their percentage of the vote share declined from 2014, so their percentage of the seats also declined. Not too hard to understand.

I know it was useless enough that the Bush White House dropped it in 03. Think about that.
