Friends, please do me a favor—
If you’ve read my new book, please take a second to leave a little review on Amazon.com or GoodReads.com (even if you didn’t like it!)
Thank you!
A long, long time ago, an average moisture farmer could buy this house, support a wife and a teenaged boy, and still have money left over for a translator droid and an R2 unit.
Today a two-income household can't even buy a passage to Alderaan for less than 17,000.
Back in the olden days, Republicans used to like to challenge Democrats by saying “Name me a country that has taxed itself into prosperity!”
They don’t use that line any more.
What I love about the Fourth Circuit’s decision is that there is not a judge on this PLANET who is less of a “judicial activist” than J. Harvie Wilkinson.
Woman who made Bernie’s mittens says: “I don’t have much of a mitten business anymore bc it really wasn’t worth it. Independent crafters get really taken for a ride by the fed’l govt. We get taxed to the nth degree & it wasn’t really worth it.” 🤔
“Trade deficits” are almost literally the opposite of a tax.
A “trade deficit” occurs when you’re rich enough to pay others to make things for you. Then you buy from them & they don’t buy from you.
Thats a good thing.
We cannot keep running the massive trade deficits. Yes, tariffs are a tax. So are trade deficits. It's just that trade deficits allow you to keep kicking the can down the road for some time.
We're near the end of that road.
The Lincoln Project's encouragement of harrassment of Jones Day attorneys and employees is undemocratic, potentially dangerous, and counterproductive. Whatever you think of the Administration's legal arguments, targeting attorneys for harrassment is immoral & ineffective.
Slavery really does touch everything in American history.
Slavery is not “the foundation on which this country is built.”
Understanding how profoundly it affected US history & culture is very important.
Transforming that into a smear on the American Dream is stupid & immoral.
Trump: “Somebody said, ‘Oh the shelves are going to be open.’ Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls. And maybe the two dolls will cost a couple bucks more than they would normally.”
