      When the right people start to sweat just a little...

      Warren’s wealth tax? Households affected by the plan to tax wealth over $50 million “would likely need to fund it by reducing their assets.”

            Everything the Democrats said about the Tax Cut is true. Everything the Republicans said about the tax cut is false.

              That’s really the game, right?

              Convince the populace that ‘capitalism’ is ‘socialism’ for the rich?

                No. Capitalism has proven to be the greatest system in the world when it has a government that cares about it's people enough to put the proper guardrails on it. When capitalism is allowed to run pure it is the most destructive force in the world. Laying waste to the planet.

                  Never confuse capitalism with the free market. The free market, when regulated, is efficient and liberating. Capitalism, whether regulated or not, is merely the modern fashion of slaves (workers) and slave masters (owners).

                      Boeing downplayed mission critical software update sent to Starliner capsule hours before landing it.
                      Starliner's December test flight had to be cut short due to a well-publicized timing error that delayed the spacecraft's service module from performing an orbital insertion burn. This caused the thrusters on board the service module, which provides power to Starliner during most of its mission, to fire longer than expected. As a result, the spacecraft did not have enough fuel to complete a rendezvous with the International Space Station, a key component of the test flight in advance of crewed missions.

                      At Thursday's meeting, Hill revealed the second issue related to software and thruster performance publicly for the first time.

                      However, as part of reporting on a story about Starliner software and thruster issues three weeks ago, a source told Ars about this particular problem. According to the source, Boeing patched a software code error just two hours before the vehicle reentered Earth's atmosphere. Had the error not been caught, the source said, proper thrusters would not open during the reentry process, and the vehicle would have been lost.

                      In a response to a query about this in mid-January, a Boeing spokesperson confirmed to Ars that software uploads were sent to Starliner "near the end of the mission." However, the spokesperson then downplayed the gravity of the situation, saying, "The final upload before landing's main purpose was to ensure a proper disposal burn of the Service Module after separation and had nothing to do with Crew Module reentry." Because this made the issue sound not serious, Ars omitted it from the published story.
                      How the fu** is Boeing stock not negative at this point?

                              It's definitely not new, but it's still entirely accurate several months after it became a meme.

                                Take 33 through 66 on this chart for middle class American wealth:

                                If I have a million bucks, of course I should be able to parlay that into much more money than someone who has $100K, in general/relatively/etc. Even going by percentages in those different totals in that graph, the amount of money/growth will compound.
                                No, it isn't only that. The rate of growth also increased as you go up the scale. Look at the 50% mark and the 99% mark:

                                Code:
                                  Yr    50%     99%   Ratio
                                1963    41   1,457    35.54
                                1983    83   3,323    40.03
                                2016    97  10,400   107.21
                                Let's specifically take the period since 1983, the Reaganomics Era:

                                50% wealth increase = (97-83)/83 = 17%
                                99% wealth increase = (10,400-3,323)/3,323 = 213%

                                That is what Republican and Democratic Neoliberal economic policies do.

                                Let's compare to the period 1963 - 1983, the Great Society Era:

                                50% wealth increase = (83-41)/41 = 102%
                                99% wealth increase = (3,323-1,457)/1,457 = 128%

                                That is what an aggressive graduated income tax does.

                                The low marginal tax rates increased the 99%'s ROI by 85% -- the exact amount that the 50%'s ROI decreased. It robbed from the middle class and gave to the rich.

                                That is the greatest redistribution of wealth between the classes in world history. It destroyed the American middle class and is now destroying democracy.
