ProPublica just released a story after having obtained the tax records of at least 25 of the richest men in the country: https://www.propublica.org/article/the-secret-irs-files-trove-of-never-before-seen-records-reveal-how-the-wealthiest-avoid-income-tax

They found that in 2007 & 2011, Bezos paid nothing in federal taxes. In fact, Bezos was paid $4,000 from the government for Earned Income Tax Credit.

Carl Icahn, Michael Bloomberg, and a few others also were able to pay nothing in federal taxes.

People who earn $70k have a 14% tax rate, which comes right out of their check. Do you believe it's fair?

Lets face it , 30 and under age group have it pretty well today. They don't have the restrictions we had growing up. The women can dress like a tramp in school and work and nothing is said. Guys can wear pants down to ankles and caps and tattoos in school and work and nothing is said. When they wanted a car , parents buy them a new one. My parents wouldn't. They knew one car meant 3 cars with 3 sons. Didn't buy any of us a house. We didn't get all the toys at Christmas either. Now I understand why. To keep us hungry to succeed and buy our own stuff. Today , if JR wants it , he gets it. This why all the 30 or younger people think everything should be free to them. They don't want to work or work their way up the ladder. They think they should be given A's in college no matter the effort, it should be free, and when they get out a job should be waiting, and this job should pay them $300,000 a year. They have no drive (unless a fictional one) and just hope Socialism takes root in America. If we just had Socialism I will be saved. They don't want marriage and kids. Just ME ME ME!. This is why the US is doomed. Not Capitalism or Free Market's fault, but the people who make up the country. You can't expect a person to work and contribute is everything has been given to them.

He can’t even dress himself. His pants are on backwards.

Like a video game, which Difficulty do you have your game of life set on? I'm on Hard Mode to be honest, but I used to be on Super Hard.

A lot of people think their outdated
A lot of people like having them
There are lots of pros and cons to having monarchies
But do you think that in the 21st century we should still have them
please give reasons

It's great they got behind the whole Blm movement, but what about Black on black and black on white crime? That's far more common and if they addressed those issue you would probably see a far bigger drop in overall crime.

I'm not saying that white people are perfect, but to me it seems like they think white people are the only cause of the problems.

Are amoral and insensitive people happier? I think this is the case. Let's say Wendy is a very moral and also emotional person, she loses her son, she's going to be very sad for a long time if not for decades. Clara however is pretty insensitive, she loses her son, she's sad... for 2 weeks, then everything is back to normal.

In my experience, I hear men often say "piss" when they gotta "go." Very rarely I heard women say "piss" but there are few out there
When I hear someone say "pee" I mostly hear it from women, childern, or men who are more on the feminine side. (Personally I grown to hate this word because it sounds too childlish)
And finally when I hear "urinate," it's used
mostly used by doctors or other medical professions (or from nerds)
What do you think? Which words do you use the most and what are your experiences?

Riots, crime, and government over reach! Oh my! I thankfully live in a small town. Nobody really cares about you wearing a mask and they don't freak out over it. Nobody is really getting sick or dying here. We don't have stupid people marching through the streets or people destroying stuff because of fake rage justice. I'm Hispanic by the way, Apache, Mexican and Spanish mixed. Born in the US just like my parents, and their parents. So on and so on. So don't come at me with the whole "You white racist!" Bull. It just seems all the hate crimes, riots and racist stuff is happening only in big cities as well as heavy democrat ran states. Even though I'm sure I'll get a bunch of down votes because the majority of people who use any type of social website lean heavy to the left. Cause most people center and right are... you know. Working. Hurray for my vacation time! And not being some lazy Asshole sitting there and using unemployment to stay a useless piece of crap.

There have been a huge amount of scammers on her recently and I got fed up with it one day where one posts one of those stupid "join sex club" comments in my question. I told the scammer to kill themselves and my post got removed. GAG even pm telling me to talk to a suicide hotline which made no sense since I wasn't having suicidal thoughts.

Should people be fired for refusing to use transgender pronouns? This isn’t a teacher who mistakenly used the wrong one…he’s actively preaching his religious opinion against it.

“I’m a teacher but I serve God first and I will not affirm that a biological boy can be a girl and vice versa because it’s against my religion. It’s lying to a child, it’s abuse to a child, and it’s sinning against our God.”

2020 has passed. And what a shitshow it was with the restrictions, and deaths and the unknown.

But now..

But now..

Hope is here.. Cure is here (FOR THOSE WHO WANT IT)

Imagine some #BLM idiot disrupting your dinner at a restaurant by screaming that unless you support them you are "racist". You respond by stating your honour has been slighted and you challenge the scoundrel to a duel at dawn. 10 paces, turn and shoot.

I would gladly duel any of these ass-clowns snowflakes and I think they would learn some civility after a few graveyards filled up with their kind.

What say you GAG?
