The Supreme Court case seeking to shut down wealth taxes before they even exist
vox.com

The plaintiffs’ arguments in Moore v. United States have little basis in law — unless you think that a list of long-ago-discarded laissez-faire decisions from the early 20th century remain good law. And a decision favoring these plaintiffs could blow a huge hole in the federal budget. While no Warren-style wealth tax is on the books, the Moore plaintiffs do challenge an existing tax that is expected to raise $340 billion over the course of a decade.

But Republicans also hold six seats on the nation’s highest Court, so there is some risk that a majority of the justices will accept the plaintiffs’ dubious legal arguments. And if they do so, they could do considerable damage to the government’s ability to fund itself.

You're certainly a douche, lovable not so much I can't say I find any bigot lovable. Similarly those people probably weren't your friends, they probably told you "jokingly" to go the fuck away but you can't take a hint.

Douchebaggery ain't a sport, sport.

You're a bigot, at least be an honest bigot. An ashamed Nazi is still a Nazi.

They were definitely my friends because they still are my friends lol

Also I don't think you're much of an athlete

I doubt you have any bud.

You'd be right, was it the disability you can't help but make fun of that tipped you off? Genius commentary bud, keep it up.

You're a bigot, at least be an honest bigot. An ashamed Nazi is still a Nazi.

You could've gotten your disability from sports - you know, the same way I got my injuries.

Sure, or I could have been born like that but we know how you feel about disability which is why I call you a Nazi. Keep up.

Well you know what they say.

You're beautiful in your way, because God makes no mistakes

You're on the right track baby, you were born this way

And they'd be fucking stupid.

Are you legit quoting Katy Perry and thinking it's somehow a point?

A Nazi that loves "fireworks" is an interesting combo.

How dare you not recognize her Highness, the Lady Gaga.

Either way, fuckin dumb. I will say I did Nazi it coming.

You think Lady Gaga is dumb?

I think you're dumb. I haven't interacted with lady Gaga and I doubt you represent her in any way. Stop being dumb if that's at all possible.
