..... for this federal tax returns to the little people..... now she can remodel and update her kitchen and bathroom and buy a brand new car.

Oh wait.... she only has a $150.00 budget to work with..... and it will take one year to save that amount up.

high school secretaries in PA don't get paid much.

Torrance, California, $100.00 every two weeks . . . additional for $3,500.00 montly. Govenment 2019 will take more taxes and as a home owner, SALT is a gonner. Plus, this is only temporary, wherein the Rich is permenate. The poor get nada, but will pay more for taxes and much less in government assistent.

if instead of a pennies for the middle class and billions for the rich and corporations, she had gotten the middle class tax breaks that the left wanted.

my check went up too. i think about $30 in my biweekly pay. breadcrumbs compared to what the elite are getting.

Sounds like someone squatted the name, got the checkmark. There's something about the framing of many of those tweets and some of the visuals used that doesn't make it seem like his real account.

It also has 11,000 tweets less than his speaker account.

I get the sense that Mother Jones and others reporting on this are going to come out looking bad because of this.

Or some such.

There's too much room for false head feints and misleading postings.

Not sure how this would be done, however. I haven't had a run-in with "the jury" since the pres. nominating time when I was considered "un-democratic"....

because the tweet just seems to ridiculous to be real.

But it's a verified account. They don't just hand those out to anybody, you have to prove it.


Also, a fake account wouldn't remove the tweet.

I compared the last two paychecks and mine went down a whole $0.19 every two weeks. If I save for a whole year I might be able to buy one value menu meal at McDonald's. Way to go.
I actually expect my taxes to be about a break even this year. Up 10% in 2019. And 6 years from now (if I am not retired or even have a job) up 50-60%.

path.


I’ve seen that phony sincerity act before, smarmy fake sympathy covering total enjoyment in lieing and harming people any way he could. It was an ex.... Mr. Scumboyfriend.

Ryan’s phony sympathy act, where you can clearly see the hint of a mocking smirk, if you know what to look for.

It reminds me of that felon coke-head scum boyfriend.

I guess Ryan really is way, way, way too stupid to be speaker of the house..........it appears that the stup actually thinks that this is a complement to his feeble brain......

I would love to have said to Paul Ryan hey look ASSHOLE an extra buck fifty an hour would not cover the cost of my surgery, which if I hadn't had last year I probably wouldn't have been able have the surgery thanks to the fuckery they all did with ACA.

My operation cost about $30,000 before insurance. I had to pay about $8,000 out of pocket in insurance premiums and deductible to have that surgery. Fuck you, Paul Ryan, the cost of a Costco membership would have made little difference in the cost of that.
