The Evil Genius

Mama Curry is a baller too.

Nightmarchers y'all. ****ing nightmarchers. click on the post...and look at the first pic (click the right arrow on the pic that loads)...

Fwiw, Crystal meth is the hottest gift for lunar new year in North Korea. I'd bet they execute some drug users (aka dissidents fraudently charged) there also.

So Trump actually said to a reporter today that he didn't need to do it (declare a national emergency) but wanted to do it (build the wall) faster so he did (declare a national emergency)? Wow. That's yuge evidence for lawsuits.

State run media afraid of it being too on the nose?

As I originally said, it was per a Fortune magazine article. http://fortune.com/2018/06/27/bay-area-six-figures-housing-hud/ In the Bay Area, Households Making $117,000 Are Now Considered Low Income Also as a general rule, up to 9 counties (not just City and County of SF) can claim Bay Area here.

I was curious so I had to look back and in FY013 we had about 120k in taxable income with 9800 in SALT deductions. Another 10k in mortgage interest. So it's possible..but I understand your argument.

Our last 4 tears effective tax rate (not including this year since it's not known at the moment). 2014 - 13.34% 2015 - 13.45% 2016 - 12.41% 2017 - 12.81% 2018 - ???? Also as an aside...what's the argument again for federally taxing state income tax refunds in the following year?

Maybe. Strong middle class for the region, definitely. Have you looked at what's considered lower class income in the Bay Area now?A family earning about 117k (according to Fortune magazine) a year or less. I can only speak for me though. We have a 3 year old loan on a house we put 20% down on. We paid $16k in interest in 2018. 9k+ in property taxes and god knows what total in state income tax. It's very easy here to exceed that 10k SALT limit and still have to itemize on the return so you don't get ****ed even harder by the "tax cuts". If I had to guess, we will be missing out on about 5-7k+ (taxed at 24% since it's basically the last part of the taxed income) in deductions because of the SALT limit starting this year. Although I'm unsure if joint filing separately allows for a workaround, especially since California is a community property state (for income purposes).

I'm curious how Trump will cheat using this. More executive time!

I'd be curious as to what language is included in the majority of federal contractor's contracts. Is their explicit language about being forced to not work due to a shutdown? Or is this an employer illegally locking the door and keeping contracted employees from working? I'd suspect there is some language regarding government shutdown...but without being privy to it, who knows. Personally, I think both contractors and federal employees should be paid for their time that they were kept from working. Through no fault of their own they were victimized by pettiness.

No idea. My reference to kids in that post wasn't about their age but rather a colloquial term used for anyone's children, no matter the age. Edit...I found that now that I'm in my middle 40s..I can anyone a kid that is younger than me.

Gee sounds like a single payer universal healthcare system would have helped some people's kids. Too bad US neocons have **** on that concept for the last 25 years. They'd rather a for profit model be the norm and **** over anyone who doesn't have the income to pay for healthcare access. I wonder why that is?
