re: Big beautiful bill-No tax on OT- Plant Work

For some reason people have this perception executive level people never really work either, how do you think they got into those positions?
This is such a straw man. Of course executives work. They are also handsomely compensated. I am W2 but also have a side consulting business. I regularly work 50-60 hours a week. I also make over $350k a year. Your hourly employees are making $20-30 an hour. Thats max $1200 a week or $60k a year and many are less than that. You arguing for taxing their overtime while you make $300k or more a year is why Mitt Romney Republicans lost every major election before MAGA took over.

there are plenty of hourly people out there with cushy desk jobs, in case you werent aware.
How much overtime are cushy desk job hourly employees working? I’ve never seen this personally. My overtime was always working an additional shift at the bar during holidays. The desk people always went home.

re: If the civil war was about slavery, why’d they keep slaves in the North?

Black men had the right to vote a generation before women did. They served in congress (as Republicans) during Reconstruction, immediately following the Civil War. They had the right to own land and business. To legally marry. Pretty typical rights that the average white man had.
So much propaganda here sold to you by PBS. Right to vote? Look up poll taxes and literacy tests used in both the North and South. Also blacks elected in Reconstruction were Union puppets meant to humiliate Southern government. No blacks were elected to Congress for 28 years after Reconstruction anywhere in the country. As for owning land and businesses, that was technically true but Plessy v Ferguson was the law of the land so even in the North your business was treated as “separate but equal.”
Again, the idea that the North were heroic good guys sacrificing themselves to give blacks all the rights they had is a fairy tale Yankees tell themselves to feel good.

Even after 1865, the typical black man in any part of the US had no real rights until the 1960s. The idea that the Civil War was about slavery and Union soldiers were dying to free slaves is a fairy tale white Yankees tell themselves to assuage their white guilt.

Why they decided to pick and choose overtime and tips is beyond me.
Surely you aren’t serious? This is completely aimed at the blue collar and working class. OT is a reward for working extra, beyond the typical 40 hour. Someone who busts their arse in a plant for a 50-60 hour week will appreciate not having the “privilege” of paying more to the federal government to support transgender mice research. And they’ll appreciate way more than a salaried manager who pushes a pencil in an air conditioned office.

You currently get 4% on your cash sitting in Robinhood. Easy to transfer out at any time. I got an offer from them for 4.5% if I deposit $23,000 more.

That video was educational. They don’t teach you that the first slave owner in America was black. Doesn’t fit the narrative.

But, it cannot be denied that Bush did not get Bin Laden for 2 terms and the Obama security team did finally get him.
An obvious explanation for this is that Bin Laden hid under a rock with no outside contact for 8 years under Bush but eventually got sloppy as time passed. This happens with wanted criminals all the time. No one can stay in deep cover forever.

Evidently a large percentage of people reach senior adulthood with only social security for an income and thus cannot affording housing. How does this happen?
Let’s be honest. A large number of people are completely irresponsible. They spend $20 a day on cigarettes and buy a new truck every 3 years or get a new iPhone every 2 years. They go on family vacations to the beach or mountains twice a year when they don’t have $1000 in their checking account. They blow money on all kinds of impulsive purchases but then say they can’t find any way to save for retirement.

So guilty FBI agents want a judge to help with a coverup. This will probably happen since the federal judiciary is as corrupt as the FBI.
