The most wonderful Dog I've had in many years was the result of this type of behavoir though much more appaling.  A breeder that was raising coonhounds in the Beaumont area let the wrong person see what he was doing to his young hounds that were gunshy, he'd shoot them on the spot.  Harris County SPCA raided his farm, put him in jail and took his dogs.  A few wound up in a private shelter in Sequin.  I had to volunteer at her kennel for 2/days to secure Rita the Redbone's release.
   Best damn Woman I ever bailed out of Jail and I've bailed out a few.

Well that's rather dishonest.

I'll ask the question again:  If stocks go down in a given year, and Jeff Bezos balance sheet falls by $1 billion, would the federal government then owe him 44% on that?  Imagine the government sending Jeff Bezos a refund check of $440 million because he had unrealized losses.  Guess those dumb-ass liberals didn't think that one through.  Idiots.

He makes assertions and then dances around the questions in response to those assertions without addressing them. He's burnt his good will with me.

A battery is just a replacement for a gas tank...

It has no usable energy in of itself. It simply stores and delivers energy that came from some other source.

Kind of funny if you think about it... The Rube Goldberg approach to transportation...

Here is your post again:

You are delusional if you think Bezos is paying 40% in taxes .


Federal Income Tax - 37%
Medicare Tax - 3.8%

Total - 40.8%

He's counting unrealized capital gains because the value of his stock went up. Not actual income.

He's a big government conservative - which is an oxymoron...

I'm not going to waste any more time on him.

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.

How in the dickens are the clueless to be educated as to how the real world works if we don't tell them? And it better happen soon, before they completely outnumber us.
