A truck driver working 40-hour weeks to make $50,000 a year pays about $3,800 in federal income tax. An 8% rate.
An investor earning the same $50,000 in long-term capital gains pays $0.
Work gets punished. Wealth gets rewarded.
This tax code is a scam.

Ruby Bridges was 6-years-old when she stepped into the history books. Bravely accompanied by her mother, she was the first Black child to desegregate an all-white school in the South. It was not long ago…
Today is her birthday. She is still with us. She is 72. Happy birthday, Ruby Bridges 💜

As a person w ADHD, one strategy I like to use when making food is putting the things I haven't used on one side & the things I've used on the other, so I can visually tell what I've put it and still have to use.

In June, the FBI quietly lowered some of the standards it uses when it conducts background checks on would-be federal agents and other personnel.

Dolly Parton did all the good she could, for all the people she could, for as long as ever she could.
From her legendary songwriting to the Imagination Library—which sent 1 million books a month to children across the country—she was the best of America.

#DollyParton and #BettyWhite were famous for many things, but I will always love the fact that they'll be remembered for their kindness & generosity. Betty championed animals & Dolly, giving children books. What better legacy could you ask for?
