I'm paying all my taxes and in the bracket that gets taxed the highest. I work 80 hours and get 40 percent of my wages. I give it to the government and then they dump into the fat cats pockets while the poor inner city black and Latino kids get the chump change to the point public school teachers get exploited and have to buy their own paper. Welcome to Chicago, New York, and La where the rich get richer and he middle class pays for the poor to get robbed.

Here's a cookie. I don't think I have ever used "I'm paying all my taxes" as the extent of what I do for working people and I'm in the 35% tax bracket.

Maybe you have a trust fund (shrug). For the rest of us, we don't enjoy throwing our money away. Few years ago the Mayor's nephew murdered a kid on the street. They paid off the mother upwards of probably x million dollars - came directly from tax payer dollars.

Guess why government spending is measured at cost and not at fair value? Because it's essentially worthless. Not my opinion, taught at every university across the world.

Oh by the way, Obama did Daily a favor with this when he was in the Senate. Unrelated, I voted for Obama because I wanted better insurance. Turned out to be the worst insurance ever and total hand out to insurance companies. Pick my own doctor my ass...this is why I don't get worked up over symbolism, it's a huge joke.
City may pay $250,000 to mother of man killed in fight with Daley nephew - Chicago Tribune

You think New York Cuomo the mass genocider of the elderly is dirty, wait until you read about what Obama and Daily did in Chicago. Dirtiest crooks ever...but I voted for him, so....at the time Republicans were overpowered. Like I said, I'm not biased. I vote according to what is best for the integrity of the system. Gotta pull the rose colored glasses off. Obama isn't Martin Luther King. He was the antithesis. Obama, Trump, George, Nixon - all politicians. They are not to be confused with humnitarians like Mother Theresa and Martin. You do that and you're pretty much committing the same logical errors of the people who were in Germany before the Nazi's rose to power.

Anyways, more about the geriatric genocide here: Cuomo sent over 4,300 recovering COVID patients to NY nursing homes: report - Business Insider

Believe me same thing is happening in Chicago with governor is J. B. Pritzker. Guess how many jobs that guy had in his life...1, governor.

All blue though as far as the eye can see. At least red is competent. Doesn't matter to me though. When i see one getting bigger than the other I vote for the later. Just the smart and wise thing to do.

INTJ my ass. Jesus, calm the fuck down.

I'm not exactly sure that you're responding to one of my posts but since yours comes directly after mine I take it you're taking a passive aggressive jab at me and trying to reduce my style of writing about Chicago politics to some fleeting emotion of anger when in reality i'm reflecting the pizzazz and tenash of the windy city politics. I suggest you do not rudely displace your own emotions and profanities on to others since it is extremely rude (inferior FI poking its pesky head out? so i'm bringing it to light for you since it's unconscious). You are free to do of course as you please so long as you don't harass or use profanities towards others as I think that violates the forum rules. Feel free to dance on that line as long as you please or as long as the mods let you. It seems I'm not your only target here either. Assuming you did respond to me, I'd also ask you stop, since I've already made it clear that I do not want to discuss anything further with you. The only reason I'm responding here is because it seems you have a history of bullying not just me but others who disagree with your opinions.

With respects to questioning my MBTI, who asked you and who cares? LOL

Whatever the result the USA will continue to print, own, and control the reserve currency of the world, backed by the world's greatest military.

We are comfortable with this in fact we are part of the world's best intelligence service called the Five Eyes, comprising Australia. the USA, Canada, New Zealand, and Britain. And CANZUK will only cement this. The four greatest powers will be USA, China, EU, and CANZUK.

I think the election means something different to a lot of people, particularly younger people, than it would have meant to me at their age and status.

Its kind of odd as I do not see it actually making a direct personal impact on most of them. Really I do not.

Frankly, it represents an aversion to Communism. Trump's America consisted of right wing, nationalistic populism, and I believe the dialectical outcome - response - would have been authoritarian left.

I also believe it's a huge fuck you to fascism. I'm very grateful that my country chose to do something so heroic as to boot this man out of office.

I believe there is a courage in hopelessness, and I suspect that many Americans felt so hopeless that they decided to do what was necessary.

For the first time in the history of US democracy people are kinda afraid about the whole "peaceful transfer of power" thing Americans are so proud of.

I heard it reported this morning that the percentage win that Biden had achieved was the exact same as what had allowed Trump to win, so it is a complete turning of tables or switch up from before, I'm sure its a coincidence but I'm 100% sure that this sort of thing will cause conspiracy theorists to freak out and suggest the choosing of governments is out of the hands of voters altogether.

Do you mean the number of electoral votes? Because Trump lost the popular vote in both elections, by over 3 million in 2016 and by over 4 million in 2020 IIRC.

It means that enough people still expect the President to do his fucking job and protect Americans rather than worrying about his shity brand. We're not yet a nation of bootlicking dipshits.
