Hour 1 Hour 2 Hour 3 More on the Panama Papers here. Don’t miss this: What Everyone Missed About the NC Bathroom Law (Including Me!)
I’m planning to do a social media-driven show this week centered around tweets, posts and comments so please put in your two cents below 🙂 My show is on at the regular time Saturday 3-6pm ET on 95.5fm and 750am wsb…
Hour 1 Hour 2 (well, not quite an hour 🙂 )
Hour 1 Hour 2 This was the article by Dr. Don Miller about childhood diseases and cancer-resistance that I found interesting: MMR Vaccine: Risks & Benefits Here’s the book about the youngest person with narcolepsy, which resulted from an additive in a UK vaccine: Waking Mathilda And for a swan dive into the rabbit (more…)
Hour 1 Hour 2
Update (12/9/16): Since the first minute I heard of Georgia’s religious-freedom bill, I figured it was a trap.

I do think the current tax system is unfair, but because only the top half of all earners pay anything at all! And what’s worse, it’s the top earners, not the wealthiest, who pay the vast majority of the taxes. The idle rich (not that there’s anything wrong with that!) and the government-connected rich (there IS something wrong with that!) aren’t necessarily the ones paying income tax. Income tax is paid by those who earn an income for labor. The richer you are the less you need to do this so per force the majority of the highest earners are still below the level of those rich enough not to have to work–this is primarily (and perhaps by definition) the upper middle class.
According to the chart below, the lower 95% of earners are paying the same in taxes as the top 1%–both groups pay roughly 40% of the taxes. That other 4%,
Think you’re getting your money’s worth or does the government do more harm than good? I think you can guess my answer to that question!! Here’s a video preview to this week’s show–but it’s just scratching the surface! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Vs0m-zxK-4
