yup...the Progressive city council(unanimous) and the mayor plan to argue before the Supreme Court that personal income is not personal property....this should be good

“In order to uphold its income tax, the city would have to convince a court that individual income is not protected by the constitution.”

At the Supreme Court, Seattle officials hope to attack the long-standing interpretation that income taxes are property taxes.

What your regressive mindset fails to process, is that high income individuals, only achieve that income thanks to everyone else- public teachers, libraries, public roads, police, etc. as senator warren proclaimed, if you have a business, YOU didn’t build it. YOU had help. YOU have to spread the wealth around to those who made your success possible.

Me? I'm great.

Here is the speech I was referring to, by Princess Lies Through Her Teeth.

Nebe, did you know that you didn't build your business? At least, not according to Princess Spreading Bull. Me think-um she want-um live in teepee of Great White Chief. Ugh!

That's not what she said at all. Also, you're Native mockery is pretty pale.

Watch the video, don’t take my word for it. Naked contempt for the successful.

If I am making fun of someone who lied about being Native American for personal gain, I can make a compelling case that I care a lot more about native Americans than she does.

As for warrens idiotic remarks. Yes, we all drive on public roads and use public police. But only Mark Zuckerberg invented Facebook, only bill gates invented Windows. The individual, therefore, has an awful lot to do with it, and should therefore be encouraged to take risks. Not demonized.

But it doesn’t bother you one bit when Warren disrespects Native Americans. So your outrage at those who disrespect native Americans is quite selective. Which means, your outrage is fake.
