That is patently false and it’s hard to believe people think this.

Or it was a joke from a comedian...

Was about to respond with this. The WSJ is a first-class organization as long as you entirely ignore their opinion section.

We spend the most on healthcare per capita in the world and get bad patient outcomes. Explain that (and keep in mind it was this way before Obamacare as well). Most other developed countries have figured out a solution even if it has some associated flaws.

This is a much better post than whenever you try to talk about anything economics related.

Bernie is economically illiterate. He is a deeply flawed candidate who is good on social issues and HORRIFIC on anything involving money - which happens to be a pretty important part of the world.

Elizabeth Warren is neither likable nor competent and Bernie isn’t competent in the slightest. You put forward the two biggest grand standers of all on your list and expect some nuanced discussion of the facts. Bernie and Warren can yell about anything economics-related and their disdain for the banks for an hour…

“Did you watch Durant play with the Warriors this year? It was incredible how devastating he was when he could reliably get the ball in places he could do something with it.”

And it won them a championship. Everyone knew they were trading away the future for a run at a title in the present.

They made literally one statement saying that they think a Trump administration would likely be more favorable to their business. There is no way you apply this ridiculous standard to other things in your life.

I refuse to heap accolades or declare someone the greatest of all time who didn’t play against against a large group of people because of racism.

Having an accessible supply of water is extremely smart. Or do you not realize how quickly our usually civil society can turn to shit (riot, war, any time of mob, etc)?

“I personally know a couple that had actually retired in 2007 (one completely, the other was still working part time), then the market crashed, and they both had to go back to work full time. One of them is still working full time (the other’s had some major health issues and is currently unable to work).”

“7% returns? I’d like to know where you got those over the last 15 years”

Ok, so you didn’t read the article...cool.

“Marlins president David Samson is one of those rich guys who likes to do not-rich-guy things in order to show how cool and down to earth he is.”

Maybe when you make some money (not like you will with the defeatist attitude you’ve exhibited) you’ll find the prospect of the government taking money that you’d like to give your own child a little repulsive.

What’s your point? People who have over $5m should just have it taken because they can afford it?

Are you that dense? I never claimed the inheritance tax was illegal.
