Also, for any 1099 earnings above $400 you pay:
  • 12.4% for social security
  • 2.9% for Medicare
  • Whatever your bracket is after any additional employment
  • State taxes
So if you live in California and work a W2 job as your 9-5 which pays you $56,000/year, then you START at 22%. So anything you make from that 1099 is taxed at 43.3% (22% federal tax + 15.3% + 6%). That's the same as the highest marginal tax rate in Ireland, Norway, Thailand, Turkey, Chile, the Congo, Guyana, and is the same as the corporate tax in Brazil.
Getting married is nice for the tax benefits. If you make over a certain amount then it doesn't matter, but a married couple making $100k is taxed at a lower rate than a single person making $100k.
 
damn adblock isn't working

Update your ad block extension's filters. uBO fucks up every so often if I keep a browser window continuously open for a few hours, maybe a day or two on end. I presume the same is true for extensions like ABP as well.

A lot of universities will be very angry though because this memo defunds all of their "studies" departments and half of their Science™ departments.

Academia in the USA is fundamentally rotten to its core for the last 30+ years; Silicon Valley is 2 or 3 recessions behind the curve, but academia needs to burn to the ground so that the rot is cleared and new growth can sprout from its ashes.
 
Let this faggot remind you of what Big Mike took from a generation of children-
E.O. Pizza Hut back into schools for children turning in book reports.
I think I still have a picture of my school lunch. I remember some mystery meat with beans and dry ass chips as "taco Tuesday."
 
Why government needs independent inspectors general
Inspectors general are part of the executive branch. They derive all their power through the power of the president. The only way the citizenry can express their oversight of these people is through their votes for president.

These people have gotten so fucking high off Our Democracy that they have forgotten popular sovereignty. Our government is accountable to its citizens not unto itself. Something these bureaucrats so clearly hate.
 
Chili, rectangle pizza and burgers were top tier in the ancient times when I was in school.
Ya we had those pizzas too. Taco Tuesday. French toast sticks and knock off Jimmy Dean sausage.. Chicken Nuggets and Mac and Cheese. The only thing I can remember being kinda nasty was that weird McRib knockoff.
 
Chili, rectangle pizza and burgers were top tier in the ancient times when I was in school.
Rectangular "pizza" was the cheapest of the cheapest dogshit a school could serve a kid as it was proof that a school was kiking out and purposely only spending the barest if bare minimum on feeding their students. Something I learned first hand given the number of times I got in trouble at school whenever I brought it up when I got caught selling junk food contraband at school out of the stash I ate instead if their dogshit lunches.

Same with their inedible burgers and 99% of the slop my school got stuck eating because of the school deciding to fuck us over on our meals.
 

He also retweeted the Lieutenant Governor of Texas suggesting that the 22nd amendment should be repealed so that Trump can serve another term:
As much as I would like more Trump, I don’t like the idea of some democrat that would never leave office.

Could you imagine Obooga running again.
 
Unconfirmed rumors that certain cartels are going to attempt to shoot down a USAF cargo plane carrying back the deportees.
Now I don't wanna go shoot at and get shot at by Iranians, but I'll absolutely Einsatzgruppen some beans.
Uppity little cunts.
Well I'm looking forward to The Great Beaner Reamer War. We'll turn the first ten miles of Mexico into a no man's land.

Unlikely, footnote 2 states this doesn't impact medicare or social security. Although I imagine there may be a big audit of Disability payments in the future, but that's just my guesswork.
PLEASE.

A neighbor of mine actually does use disability because they lost a fucking limb, except it meant a bunch of people in their family realized they could subvert the process and get their own because of mental bullshit. I would laugh so fucking hard if the hangers-on all saw their tugboats sank at once as part of this cost cutting.

Mine were tiny circular pizzas the school called “universe pizza” and had this weird gooey texture in the center that I can’t describe. They weren’t raw, but just felt almost like an Alfredo sauce thing.
Granted I haven’t had or even seen one of those things since 3rd grade, but the idea brings me back. My elementary school also used to sell ice cream bars every Friday, man did I luck out not being a kid in the Obama years
