We All Pay Taxes

Taxes, the certainty that exists in the USA...if you work, you pay tax...it makes the government survive...roughly 30% all told...after SS, and union dues...state tax...and other stuff...and, of course the biggee, the Fed Tax...let's say you make $60 grand a year...your Take Home pay...after all the aforementioned payments...$42 grand...make that $18 grand a year for the taxes...Fed tax?...probably, $14 grand...ah, like $14,000...right?...let's say you are a billionaire...well, it must be greater than $750...what you say?...trump paid just that in his 1st year of...gulp...presidency!...and the next year, too...what is going on here?...

And then we find that for the 15 years prior, 10 of those years...he paid NUTTIN'...ZERO...NADA...0...ah, he lost more than he gained...in his business dealings...yea, the adjusted gross income...was indeed that...GROSS!...

Scathing report out of the New York Times...how did trump respond to this?...you got it...'Fake News'...of course, the breaking news of this...has mushroomed out of the airwaves...and the web net...is he not what he says he is?...this day ought to be a doozy...as he responds to the news...the Tweetstorm will be afire...

If nothing else...it gives us all a peek at what the bloke is really all about...one might say, that he managed the system to his benefit...others, may talk the word 'fraud'...regardless, the one thing that rings true to moi, is that he is a sham...I have watched the Tweet wire closely this am....for any rebuttals...none, thus far...which is kind of eerie...

Let's go...

The NBA bubble finals are set...the Heat, beat the Celts...and now face off with the LaLa Lakers...I do like the make up of Miami...their balance is solid...BUT...LeBron and the Brow have too much height, I think...favor them...but, I will be pulling for the HEAT!...this team is so well coached...a rarity in the league...

The mighty Padres are indeed the 4th seed in the MLB Playoffs...take on Saint Looey...we won 37 out of 60 games...it was fun, full of offense, and yet, scary sits with the SP's...who is healthy enough to go on?...that is the Q...

I did follow the Chargers yesterday...man, had the perfect 'hook and ladder' play to win the game at the buzzer...and muffed the pitch...UO's Herbert was simply terrific...the prob I see, is that he had better receivers in college...

The NFL...the hardest call there is, for the stripes...pass interference...like a block/charge in hoops...was huge in the Bills win...because I am NOT in a fantasy league, JCC on many games...

Yes, my dear...we (Marsh) tried the rice item you gave us...(Cindy's)...it was a hit!...went well with my baked chic thighs...alas, sorry, tho...bout your beloved Raiders...regroup time...one thing...the mask that HC Gruden wears...might he have one a bit bigger?...

Snooki's song of the day...'Indian Summer' by America...you could also add, by Brooks and Dunn...or by Poco...or the Doors...and others, too...all different tunes...not covers...to be politically correct, shouldn't that be 'Indigenous Summer'...or, at least 'Native Summer'...ruins the white mans song...about the kill season of the natives...late Fall...ah, food, not man...

Speaking of people of color...me...in my advancing age...the hairs that pop up on me face, are white...and stand out like...well, let's just say they dominate me look...oh, for the days of me black hair...gone...

Gonna wrap this up, this fine Monday with a parody of MAGA...M-...missing...A-...all...G-...gross income...A-...again and again and again...

Stop it right now, Horse...
