If going skilled trades go union. Union trades pay the best- most people going into skilled trades are going that route  And recommended go industrial commercial and Unions have the best apprentice programs . Trying to get my 20 year old nephew to go this route. He is aimless right now

A friend's son is a union lineman. 3 or 4 years in and made $168k last year, 25 years old - lots of overtime due to weather

I lied.
Buffet in an interview says he pays on average 17.4% in taxes while his staff pays between on average 32-35%. This is not proPublica but Buffet actual words out of his mouth.

Bill Gates said he pays on average 18% a year in taxes (gates said he paid 10 billion in taxes over the years-I thought it was 10% tax rate but it was 10 billion when I went back to look at it. Sue me. )  and said he would be ok with paying more even 20 billion.

Bezos accountant should be fired  lol

40% LMAO
Show a link where he is paying 40%. Still Waiting.....

I also find it amazing, Forbes, Business Insider, WSJ, Motley fool, Bloomberg  CNBC, State Street, Mornngstar , Chrles Schwab on and on  believe the propublica figures and have used them for articles but you do not.

40% . Where is the Tom Cruise laughing gif?

It wasn't just not listening, but killing livestock and biting the owner.

RTFA!
You can't just give away a dog who has bitten the owner, because they might turn on someone else.
They have crossed the line.

The vast majority of bad dog behavior  is from the human owner not training the dog, raising it wrong-wrong correction measured etc I bet the dog was in an outdoor kennel with minimal human contact
My wife volunteers at a dog obedience school. She has seen some horrendous dogs but after training became the best dogs ever ..it is rate just a few examples after 20 years a dog could not be trained.

Just shooting a dog is the lazy way out for people that do not want to spend the time training their dog

So your example of paying capital gains on a 10% increase in your home is not true. You was the one who made that up.

So now you're intentionally being obtuse.  The example given was based on the ProPublica premise.  It was a hypothetical.  But then you knew that already.

And I posted multiple places how the billionaires pay very low taxes through loopholes

Based on an imaginary tax law that is not based in reality.

and you  have yet to show an actual link where Bezos is paying a 40% tax

And you have yet to show an actual link where he is not.  Let's keep in mind that YOU are the one offering that premise, not me.  I already showed you what the law says.   Anyone in the top tax bracket is paying over 40%.  That's the law.  To suggest otherwise is delusional.

even though the taxes Bezos paid from 2010 to 2018 is on the net and not close to 40% but between 1.8% and 3.5%

Based on an imaginary tax invented by ProPublica.  But don't take my word for it.  Read the damn articles you posted yourself.  I know someone at DU supplied you with those links.  But at least have the integrity to read them yourself before you start parroting incomplete nonsense from them.  Again, this came from YOUR article.

I am done you can have the last word

Yeah, it sucks when 'truth' gets in the way of your emotional needs.

Well...

The poor judgement was putting it in a book.

People who have never been around a ranch or a farm are clueless of the realities of how the real world works.

The kind of idiots that think you shouldn't kill animals for food because you can buy meat at the supermarket.
