I don't exactly like rich people, they only screw us (there are some exceptions though); therefore, I think taxes should be raised on the rich to get back at them. Hm? What's that? Who cares about the opinion of a middle wage man? Well think about it Mr. Richie Rich, fellow rich people are just competition right? Don't forget either, if you're rich you probably have an ego and wanna dominant everyone else correct? So what's the problem if other wealthy individuals are getting screwed, just use your own money to outlast them and watch as they wither away beneath your boot. Of course, this situation isn't ideal for a money bag who can't outlast his competition but I've already convinced the top competitor this would be a good outcome to have come into fruition.

No, everybody should pay the same percentage of taxes.
@8RKPJ9B3yrs3Y
Increase tax rates for top marginal brackets but lower tax rates for all other brackets
@8R9D2SC3yrs3Y
Yes, however taxes for the poor should be lowered too.

Moscow could potentially boycott certain French goods, Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman warned on Sunday, after Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo said Russian and Belarusian athletes were “not welcome” at the upcoming Olympics.”Do you think maybe we should pick up some French products that are now widely represented in Russia and announce that ‘they will not be welcome’?” Maria Zakharova wrote on Sunday on her Telegram channel.The mayor of the French capital, which is due to host the Olympics in July and August, made her comments last week during a trip to Kiev, where she visited a training center for Ukrainian athletes.”I want to tell the Russian and Belarusian athletes that they are not welcome in Paris,” she said, despite contestants from both countries being officially allowed to take part as neutrals.Responding on the mayor’s words, Zakharova noted that Russia has “a huge selection of [goods] that can be used to replace a number of French products.”She predicted that if further statements of that kind are made in Paris, “representatives of French business will storm the Paris City Hall, following the farmers.” She was apparently referring to agriculture workers rallying against rising costs, taxes, and strict EU regulations. In late February, protesting farmers stormed a major Paris farm fair ahead of a visit by President Emmanuel Macron, with many calling for his resignation.After the start of the Ukraine conflict in February 2022, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recommended that athletes from Russia and its close ally Belarus should not be allowed to compete in international events. In December last year, the body ruled that a limited number of people from the two countries could participate in the Olympics as AINs (individual neutral athletes).Earlier this month, the international body announced that the maximum number of Russians who can qualify for the Paris Games is 55, while Belarus is limited to 28 athletes. However, according to IOC director James Macleod, the teams are unlikely to meet the quotas, with some 36 Russian and 22 Belarusian athletes expected to make it to the games.Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said that the IOC decision “destroys Olympic ideals and discriminates against the interests of Olympians.” The restrictions are “absolutely contrary to the entire ideology of the Olympic movement,” he added.

Ms. Haley has pulled slightly ahead of Mr. DeSantis in the Real Clear Politics average in Iowa, though the Florida Governor has bet his candidacy on a second-place finish in the Hawkeye State. Ms. Haley also enjoys the good political fortune that the next big contest is in her home state of South Carolina.Ms. Haley’s supposed opposition to the border wall appears to come from remarks that readers can judge for themselves: “Don’t say you’re just going to build a wall. Because a wall is not going to do it. You’ve got to have commitment of ground troops, equipment, money, all of that to bring it together. Then you’re being serious about tackling illegal immigration.” There’s little difference among the GOP candidates on border security these days.The Trump volleys accusing Ms. Haley of raising taxes are even less persuasive. Ms. Haley as governor supported an increase in the state gas tax—in exchange for lower taxes on income, which is a good trade on the economics. She opposed a gas tax increase on its own.Mr. Trump is polling above 50% in national GOP surveys, and Republicans may decide to gamble on the chaos of a second Trump term. The former President thinks it’s above him to have to contest the primaries and expects a coronation. But voters get a say, Iowa and New Hampshire have been known to surprise, and the 45th president is behaving like that is the verdict he fears.
