  1. That article is a joke based on including unrealized gains as income.
  2. What? We are talking about the average effective tax rate for 400 individuals without knowing their income. Some paid more than 23%. Some less. But the whole point was that they pay less than the bottom 50%, who pay 24%. Can you provide any evidence that is true?
  3. Actually none of that is fantasy. That said, I’d love to see some backup on the bottom 50% paying an effective tax rate of 24%.
  4. I could absolutely have unrealized gains or even losses in many years. Or I could reinvest it into a new venture that isn’t profitable yet. I could’ve donate $200 million to charity that year. If they wanted to make an apples to apples comparison they would’ve.
  5. If that’s what the graph wants to say, then it needs to say it. But it didn’t on purpose. Compare the top 400 in income in 2023 vs the bottom half. Will be a totally different graph. Wealth =\= income. I could sell my business for $10 billion in 2022, pay $4.5 billion in taxes that year, and not necessarily have income to be taxed the next year in 2023. Doesn’t mean I haven’t paid a shitload on my billions.
  6. So one data point is measured on income and the other on wealth?

    Has Vedder had some plastic surgery or botox? His face has taken a strange look in the past few years.

    Only saw them once, in November of 1994. IMO, they've greatly improved as a live band in the 30 years since then, but damn it was awesome for them to only be able to essentially draw material for that show from Ten and Vs.

  11. I love a good quantity vs. quality debate.
  12. Ditka was a HOF player. He also came from an era where he didn't make obscene money and players got jobs after they retired. So you still had to be driven because there was no fallback. Coaching was his job.
