I do not like higher oil prices, and I am unhappy about the big sh*t the market has taken, but I see Iran as a threat to the United States and the world, so I am willing to take a hit. My fear is that the left takes the House and Senate in October and ruin all the progress Trump has made, including with Iran.

Don't tell me, show me. We were talking about the US, not the world, and the leftist that claimed that a big majority of stocks in the US are owned by the wealthiest 10% was shown to be wrong. That's what happens when you post headlines as facts. So why use your "logic and common sense" to come up with something,

By civilized you mean the hard left, yes?

The left loves Obama's apology tour and how he said the United States was in decline, and it was his job to manage the decline. And of course, the left creamed themselves when Obama flushed was a largely a victory in Iraq down the toilet. There's a long list of things that POC Obama did to destroy the US, and the left all loved him for it. I thought you said you were a centrist, no? In any event, the only thing I ever see leftists split on is Israel, there are still a few leftists here that do not want to see Israel eradicated. Every other topic it's right down the party line.

More solid evidence from you. Did you read the law? Of course not.

Trump wants to stop that, yet you are against Trump. Only a tiny percentage are renouncing their US citizenship. I visit the US a couple times a year,

What is the double standard? the new law would apply to everyone the same.

Islam is a religion of peace!

A meme from the joke thread, that's pretty solid evidence coming from you.

I'm sorry, were they on video intentionally causing the death of a person with the intention of harming a citizen or resident of Israel, with the aim of denying the existence of the State of Israel?

Virtually all Palestinians deem Jews to be less than human.

Exactly, the law clearly applies to everyone: "Whoever intentionally causes the death of a person with the intention of harming a citizen or resident of Israel, with the aim of denying the existence of the State of Israel, shall be sentenced to death or life imprisonment, and one of these punishments only." The sentence would be carried out by hanging, and would be enforced within 90 days of sentencing."

Why would you expect that?

For what?

More unsupported false claims from an America hating leftist.

Executing them guarantees they will not have to be traded later, so that's a good thing. Of course, all the "human rights" organizations are against it, but they are against all executing anyone for anything. The only executions they support would be Trump and Netanyahu. I was for the death penalty when I young, then I was against it in my fifties, now I've been back for it for the last five years or so.

The left has always hated the US, they are just more vocal now.

Life gets better every year for me.

So, you were wrong about the "big majority", and now you're deflecting with nonsense about taxes. Any way you look at thedata, per the IRS, the top 1% pays ~50%, and the top 10% pays ~75% of all federal income taxes. That is true, yes? And as I understand it, the percentages the rich pay of state income taxes are even higher. You have nothing but hate brother, let it go, it will eat you alive.

I find leftists blaming Biden hilarious. Harris could not think of ANYTHING she would have done differently than Biden when asked in a softball interview. The most important decision of her career, and Harris chose stolen valor Walz.

You can only hope

Ah, the left regurgitating the "suckers and losers" lie again.

We've got to repeal the Second Amendment and collect all the guns, before the left's Iranian freedom fighters arrive to save the world from the fascist Trump!

So that's something less than half the market, when you take out institutional and foreign ownership. But you knew that, yes? And of course, the top 10% pay ~75% of all federal income taxes.

What is your claim that "a big majority of stocks are owned by the wealthy top 10" based on? And what constitutes a "big majority"? Incidentally, what percentage of federal income taxed do the top 10% pay?
