    Oh my goodness...

    One day this past May, Donald Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., reached out to a senior adviser to Gov. John Kasich of Ohio, who left the presidential race just a few weeks before. As a candidate, Kasich declared in March that Trump was “really not prepared to be president of the United States,” and the following month he took the highly unusual step of coordinating with his rival Senator Ted Cruz in an effort to deny Trump the nomination. But according to the Kasich adviser (who spoke only under the condition that he not be named), Donald Jr. wanted to make him an offer nonetheless: Did he have any interest in being the most powerful vice president in history?

    When Kasich’s adviser asked how this would be the case, Donald Jr. explained that his father’s vice president would be in charge of domestic and foreign policy.

    Then what, the adviser asked, would Trump be in charge of?

    “Making America great again” was the casual reply.

    Is there a tax expert in the house?

    Married couple making $200k a year pays basically 30% in tax. Is this correct? 200k basically puts you at 30%. Right? Or wrong?

    no...marginal tax rate is likely 28% but you have to go through the 0%, 10% 15%, 25% brackets to get there.

    More dumbass bullshit from the Drumpf campaign
    The Secret Service is investigating one of Donald Trump's most outspoken supporters, a New Hampshire state representative who said this week that Hillary Clinton should be shot for treason.

    “The U.S. Secret Service is aware of this matter and will conduct the appropriate investigation," Nicole Mainor, a spokeswoman for the Secret Service, said about the comments from Al Baldasaro. The investigation was first reported by the Daily Beast.

    I have a Communications degree with a focus on publishing, a professional certificate in editing and publishing, and I am the operations coordinator for a small university press, and I can tell you that that isn't plagiarism (not that I need any of those credentials to know that). I think you must know that perfectly well too and are just having fun trolling again. I suspect that the article you posted was meant facetiously actually, though you never know these days. Someone in this world might actually think it had a point, lol.

    I'll be the ice breaker, I paid 52k in taxes last year. Not including property tax.

    You paid more in taxes than I made last year and I'm happy. So why all the complaining and ranting here. Sheesh!
    Exactly!
    Be thankful to be one of the most fortunate people on the planet instead of wigging out about losing what you never needed.
    No doubt. Holy crap, $52K paid in taxes? Assuming that wasn't because you hadn't paid your taxes for many years and they're just coming after you for them now, lol (and I hope that isn't the case because that could be life-ruining), you are probably the most wealthy person here and don't need more money.
    This is ignorance and class warfare.

    Do you know what PJFan is referring to? He didn't even post it here. He's trying to say that Obama plagiarized her 2008 speech because it happens to duplicate 4 words or something from a book. We're talking about what you posted in the "are you concerned" thread, right PJFan?? If not, then we are talking about two different things.

    Are you speaking about Melania's speech? I believe PJS was referring to Michelle's '08 speech being plagiarized from a book paragraph.

    Oh, yeah Glen, if you're talking about Melania's speech, that was most definitely plagiarism, lol, and I'm surprised that the speech writer had to offer her resignation. She should have just been fired.

    She will be, but this isn't the same as someone being careless with email security in the course of doing her job. A speech writer who plagiarizes a speech is a whole different ball game. That is very specifically and purposefully cheating at the ONLY thing she is paid to do.
