China is not on board. America's emissions have dropped dramatically. China's pledge to dial back emissions in 2026 or whenver is a joke.

whenever not whenver, grammar girl.

You are . .. .. WRONG about China. You are always wrong.

“I voted for him cause he’s a great businessman” ?

Look at how Trump TV is spinning the story about President Babydick being a broke motherf*cker. Are the MAGAts really dumb enough to believe that reporting more than 1 billion in losses over ten years is a smart accounting trick? I bet they are!

"We now have tax information on Fred Trump and Donald Trump for a number of years," said reporter Susanne Craig, one of the reporters of the story regarding Trump's Tax Returns. "The upshot: Fred always made a lot of money. Donald always lost a lot of money."

Not only shrewd at business, but he’ll tell you he won by millions of votes!

The rules of the game don't favor the wealthy and the large corporations, Fat Hurts. You should know better. If you are youngish (25 or 35) and you start investing a decent amount in index funds, your investment will double every 7 years at the historical return of 10% (11% if dividends reinvested). Over 40 years just that single investment will grow incredibly and if you are adding in a small amount each year, you will be well off beyond what you will ever need. Fat Hurts, why would you say it favors the wealthy? Everyone can invest. Just a shame to bring up the liberal mantra.

You routinely spout nonsense but even by your standards this is absurd.

Hmm...actually Sally is mostly right there (dividends can be wildly off) with the main part of the math.

See here:

I would say that way more than do invest could but we are still have a very poor part that realistically can not.

Overall though, Sally has the right idea here. I ALWAYS give props where due.

Yeah...I get it. 12 years is a "tipping point". Like I said, I am mostly on board with just about all of it. The problem is that I have read LOTS of prediction books and scientific studies by people (Population Bomb for example) that didn't come to fruition for some reason. I am more than willing though to support as much legislation and personal behavior to prevent as much pollution as possible.

I would agree that the game is kind of rigged for the well-to-do. But, I would much rather have my son or daughter not have a bunch of money handed to them and instead earn what ever they are able to earn. Have her or his mate together put away a little bit each month and allow that to grow.

So it follows that it would be good policy to tax the wealthy and prop up the poor. Everyone deserves an opportunity to strive for the dream you have for your own children.

This is correct.

It is ALSO what Jesus taught by the way...if that matters to anyone.

I will amend my original statement to say that the rules of the game DO favor the wealthy and large corporations. My main point was that small individuals can benefit greatly by investing in the stock market especially over the long haul. You have a problem with that?

No problem with that, except that for a huge number of Americans, investing is out of reach.

If you have a little money to invest, you can benefit a little.

If you are college educated and live with someone else who is also college educated, you can build a decent nest egg on two salaries if you are disciplined.

If you are born wealthy, it is extremely easy to become even more wealthy.

The more you have, the easier it is to get more. That's the way the game is rigged right now.

Some people have to be the flagpoles of the world.

Not everyone can be wealthy. Poor life/career decisions have consequences.

NYT obtains 10 years of trump’s returns! Highest “ losses” of any taxpayer!!!!

That means he's either a horrible businessman (which I believe he is) or that is evidence of his illegal tax evasion.

You don't NOT do the right thing because others aren't. The US was a leader before Trump...it will be again.

It is easy to put the polluting kibosh on offending countries...boycotts, embargo, other financial sanctions. You don't just throw up your hands.

Trump is BOTH. He lives like a king on a homeless person's income.

Lose money no tax returns. Check.

Hide money in the laundry for living expenses. Check.

Of course they do. When you make life better for the poor, they tend to thrive.

Give them good health care, good child care, and better wages. They will do quite well. Countries that have taken these kinds of steps have proven that a permanent underclass is not inevitable.

I would love to give them good health care and good child care. But studies have shown giving money to those not living on Park Avenue generally are squandered.

Meh...that is not true.

So, I make a one digit typo and I suddenly don't understand math?

If in fact your comment that my numbers were incorrect due to that one small difference, then you were correct and I apologize unreservedly as I always do when I have been proven wrong. Only you know if that's really what you meant or not.

You missed my point with this one FP. I was addressing the sentence in bold only. Even Sally acknowledged that that statement was false.

Good night.

Anyone who bothered to watch any of the documentaries on Trump (see Netflix or Amazon Prime) already knew of his losses. His casinos in Atlantic City come to mind. He also wrote a book, "The Art of the Comeback" which talked about his bankruptcies. The NY Times is acting like they have some big scoop for old public information.

So he bounced back brilliantly and now worth more than $10 billion, as he assured his followers.

I’m sure he can’t wait to prove it to his followers by releasing his tax return.
