It is a slam dunk case. If you read all the articles for the wealth tax, they argue it isn't a direct tax simply because nobody knows what a direct tax is. Or that the tax actually taxes income. Both of those are wrong. Wealth tax is a

Yes, and if something is not allowed in the constitution, then the federal government does not have the power to do it. The states could do it, but I find the likelihood of all 50 states adopting a wealth tax to be extremely unlikely. http

Sorry, I was referring to Warren's planned wealth tax, which is unconstitutional under the 16th Amendment. I support antitrust laws, and they have done a lot of good for America. https://taxfoundation.org/warren-wealth-

Warren and Sanders have made it clear that they dont understand economics or the constitution. They have just resorted to making promises and elaborate plans to capture media attention, and gain voters.

Sorry, this is kind of off topic, but why the hell is such a simple website 7MB? I instinctively dont trust companies that cant even deploy a simple website. The massive background image doesnt even look right on mobile, its scaled to fill.

Jesus, what the hell, why would google take them down? I've used the app a few times, it's a great idea and works fairly well. Definitely better than 99% of apps on the play store.

Good on you. Technology has a time and place, but it should never replace human interaction. On the topic of iPads, I went to a combined middle/high school, and one year, they moved to require the whole middle school to have an ipad, m

I agree with you. I was in high school a couple years ago, and lucky enough to take cs classes. What I experienced was not good. Most of the kids just showed up, did the projects, passed tests, and got A's. But they were not good progr

I saw a 6th grader using filezilla to update his website the other day. 99% of people didnt know what ftp was 10 years ago, that hasn't changed. Every generation loves to trash the one below it, that certainly will never change.

Buy low, sell high. Focus on reliable, proven stocks. It's not hard. Buy on bad days, sell on good days. Dont overcomplicate things.

Yeah, maybe degree isnt a great indicator of a programmer's skill, what about their past experience and projects? I think that at would at least make someone more confident in their abilities.

Muji pens are amazing in case you're looking for a recommendation. They're pretty cheap, but feel great to write with, and I've never had one give up on me prematurely. Its terrific for people like me who easily lose pens.
