I suggest you watch the actual trial footage and not the pure lies of MSNBCNN.
They threatened him with deadly force and he defended himself. Period.
None of those “shot with his hands in the air” fake news happened. Even the surviving defendant admitted to being shot while pointing the gun directly at him.
In fact few who make minimum wage pay any federal tax at all after the standard personal deduction and earned income credit… they get a refund.
Add to that that nearly every flat tax plan has raised the minimum taxable out of minimum wage completely.
I believe it’s fair for everyone to give up the same percentage of their ability for the betterment of the country.
that takes away from the poor more of the money they need to survive
It wouldn’t take any more than it does today.
in fact, again, it moves generally move the minimum threshold higher. Most often double where it is now.
tax proposal that will widen the wealth gap while doing nothing to preserve the social safety net…
Given that the wealthy you reference would be paying more than they do today despite the lower rate? Since every plan (publicly) presented has eliminated all exemptions and deductions?
You appear to be incapable of understanding the very base tenet of a flat tax. It’s flat! Stone. You pay it. Period.
Tell me how making rich people, who currently pay zero, pay 10% of their income is heartless.
And how does it hurt the poor when those at minimum wage are not taxed at all?
Explain how the 10% of $40k is harder than the 12% today.
As for the whole of society? Well, seeing how most, but not all, of these plans are coupled with a high entry flat tax, or graduated system from 10%-50% on corporate income…?
Again, fixed rates.
So the tax can’t be escaped.
How is this all bad. Feel free to explain.
Because as far as I can tell 10% on a billion is quite a bit more than the zero these people pay now at the end of deductions and offsets.

True. People under warranty don’t do their own repair all that often even when they can and are capable.

It’s nice to see this come out of apple.
Not so much in that it’s right to repair but in that apple products are so custom and so well designed it’s almost necessary to have a manual for some things. Fixing an iPhone isn’t fixing a Nokia candy bar.
And that’s still not the same as the Sega and Tandy and like equipment I’m constantly tinkering with.
iFixIt only goes so far.
I’m not stupid. I’m sure Apple is looking for a wave of botched repairs to say ‘told you so’.

So a psycho equates to a systemic problem across the country?
not a history that says “oh Black people wanted their children and their children’s children to be enslaved” or “slavery was good for Black people, actually”.
And where does that happen. What public school system is teaching that. Feel free to show me some nationally approved education book that says that.
I grew up in a suburban mixed, neighbourhood. Mostly Indian/west Asian and white.
I’d never heard that. Never.
But slavery isn’t a white vs black thing. It still happens all over the world. Americans did enslave blacks by majority. As well as Asians, Indians (native and Asian), even whites (permanent indenture).
We can’t cure the ills of racism if we ignore its existence or treat it as only being interpersonal hatred that is limited to backwater hick towns in the deep South.
Except overtly that’s just what it is.
There’s definitely substance to the claim that it is still an issue. But we’ve moved on from that. Rightfully. Racism does exist. But it’s not systemic. It’s spotty, pockets. Recognise it. Demonise it.
You don’t solve the problem by saying whites are inherently racist.
They are not. And that breeds more hate.
New hate.
