End the revolving door at the FTC/FCC/SEC (and up pay at the regulatory agencies to attract and keep bright folks) to the big banks, encourage the FBI to crack down on financial crimes.

End the carried interest loophole, up the estate tax to 70%, increase the maximum amount of money taxable towards Social Security to $20 million.

Eat the rich.

So "Full Communism Now" but with more words. :hf:

This wouldn't do anything because social security is a flat tax on wages earned by W2 employees. Anyone making that much money is making it from investments or business profits.

Tax all dividends/capital gains as regular income. That solves basically all problems.

Just get rid of SS at that point and provide a fixed amount that pays relative to the cost of living for a location and doesn't count against other sources of retirement income.

Um, actually in his ad he said "chinamen" and that's not racist because it's not Asian.

You all are acting like the average West Virginian will care. Outside of Morgantown (which is really just a place where people go to receive a four year degree in drinking heavily), WV doesn't have a dense, highly educated urban core to offset the rural people who have probably never actually known a black person.

Unlike places like Missouri or Tennessee where legitimate rape or overt racism can sink a campaign, West Virginia is both incredibly homogeneous and incredibly insular. They don't like outsiders, and they don't care about problems of other parts of the country.

That's not to say that West Virginians are Alabama racist, it's just that they won't see the problem with that statement/care about it because they literally have no idea about the hardships that black Americans have faced.

There are enough people making more than $200,000 to $1 million a year, where upping the maximum taxed amount would help fund SS for a poo poo ton longer than it's gonna last now.

The current SS tax scheme is a graduated tax in favor of the rich. The more you earn, the lower your SS tax rate!

Since this will make the news with minimal context and freak y'all out, here's some background.

Manafort has charges pending against him in both Alexandria, VA and DC. The Federal Judge in VA got a bit mouthy towards Mueller's people today, for some reason.

https://twitter.com/MSNBC/status/992424177788444674?s=19

Chances are, this is a judicial ploy to get the Mueller people on-record before ruling for Mueller. Apparently this judge has a history of that kind of thing:

https://twitter.com/Delavegalaw/status/992435235668164608?s=19

The judge also wants to see Rosenstein's memo appointing Mueller. That memo is currently the subject of a Rosenstein-House GOP dust-up. The document is currently partially redacted and Rosenstein won't give the unredacted copy to the House because it would immediately leak. The Judge has said that he might publically release the memo, so there might be a conflict there too.
