What if this is just like, Stage 4 out of 11? What horrible places can we go with Capitalism?

In an article about the value of good journalism, that link to his CPAC speech is.... disappointing.

If only there were some sort of way for us as Americans to negotiate directly with the Pharmaceutical companies. Not undercut each other. Band together, as some sort of singular payer.

Does.... he not know how much his game cost?

If we were engaged in a Senatorial debate, publicized on CSPAN and rebroadcast on NPR, there might be some value in what you’re saying. There are places for decorous discourse. But an online message board is rarely one of them. So when a shit-stirrer shows up on an avowedly liberal site to provoke outrage and then…

Rhymes with Prussia.

The Ellie/Lincoln Chafee rumors are getting spicy!

NOBEL PRIZE! NOBEL PRIZE! NOBEL PRIZE! Oh, wait.... you mean he can’t actually take credit for this? Well, then I guess I walk my statement back a bit.

Oh, wasn’t meant as an attack, like “You’re just a downer!”, more of a “We are in for some shit. If you own some rose colored glasses put them on now, cause I a Depressed.”

I work on the theory that the more a culture moves to a broader, more inclusive society, the more radicalized the former ‘top of the hill’ section becomes. As we become better people, the more angry white men we’re going to have. It’s honestly a pretty grim way to look at the future, I don’t recommend it.

Max, that isn’t remotely how tax brackets work. It’s not 85% on the whole thing, just what’s over the threshold (5M in this hypothetical).

So if my buddy were to cut himself a 6 million dollar check in the 2017 system, a quick run through nerdwallet.com says he would pay an effective tax rate of 38.8% of 2.33M,…

Feel free to screen-shot where I said ‘effective tax-rate’. I’ll wait. I’m aware of exemptions. I would just prefer to aim high, since we effectively have to settle for something less. Or what’s a heaven for?

So a buddy of mine owns/runs a company that installs fire-suppression sprinklers. Employs 47 people at…

Well, I thought the topic was ‘Should we judge/portray a massive, complex and diverse religious group by the actions of those operating on the extreme’, but since you asked, yes. I would heavily graduate the tax structure. What was the US top tax rate in the 50's? 90%? Sounds good to me. Tell you what, I’ll be…

That’s a very specific number. Am I missing the reference?

Maybe you are. I was taught to love my neighbor, and not to suffer a witch to live.

Because it seems no worse than our ancient Judeo-Christian values that, when applied as law, commands women to submit to their husbands as to the Lord, and put to death homosexuals? Or basic empathy? idk man.

Content retention in middle-school kids is.... not high. I’m sure it all clicked for you, and how could anyone be so dumb as to forget “Slavery Bad”, but I’m sure you’ve seen some poll saying ‘##% of those asked say the US fought the Civil War against France’ or whatever. We largely teach a skills based curriculum,…

As a Sox fan, I ain’t even mad. No Hitter is exciting.

Teaching students critical thinking skills, so that they realize on their own that slavery is bad for slaves, that’s education. That’s what this guy is doing. *Co-signed, middle school History teacher.
