"The Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success.
The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left).
Tax revenue increased by 71.5%.
No changes in business activity or investment.

also good to remind people making the Exodus argument and using Maryland as an example, they always pick the year after the economic crash of 2007-2008. the millionaires in Maryland did not leave, they were no longer millionaires after that crash which had nothing to do with the millionaire tax ofc

I hope any person who is tapped to participate in the firing squad is able to exercise their right to say NO. I also hope this will be a wake up call to all enlisted personnel - your loyalty has to be to the Constitution and your Conscience.
Good. Happy to see some truly courageous service members who remember their oath to obey the Constitution as well as the 10 Commandments and common decency, all of which are under serious attack here.

Let's hope this is a national phenomenon, and all those voters are expressing what they (and we) think of this government.

This calls for a new suspension of pool coverage.š
If he were at all a decent president, he wouldnāt have to worry about all the bad press. If they were actually transparent and didnāt lie, that would also help their situation. The doofusās brought this on themselves.
The press does not have to participate if they donāt want to, the fucker lies and falls asleep anyway
Trump wants to ban the press but he doesnāt like it when the press fights back and doesnāt cover him.
DOJ are nowi vestigating networks that suspended his pool coverage.

The people who screamed that children would be emotionally scarred by hearing a drag queen read āJack and the Beanstalkā are OK with those same children watching Pete Hegsethās livestream of a man getting his brains blown out by a bunch of guns.

Winter is coming soon, we will have road salt in Maine but many will struggle to buy food, heat their homes or buy gas for their cars. Susan Collins must be fired! Vote for Troy Jackson for US Senator. I did!
MAGA is cancer. The people who used to believe in American ideals and the American dream have now hitched their wagon to the worst possible cult imaginable. MAGA must be eliminated. Make MAGA folk afraid to show their faces in public. Eliminate this cancer, or at least send it into remisstion!
Youāre right. Thereās no humanity in this admin. Or the RWNJs either.
