Really know everything about me right?
He emphasized personal accountability:
Jesus' teachings and parables highlight that individuals are accountable for their choices and actions.
The parable of the talents, for example, illustrates this by showing servants rewarded or punished based on their faithful management of their master's resource.

What does the Bible say about personal responsibility?

Dummies complain about waitresses no longer being taxed on tips​

Just wait until Woodnutz starts telling his waitresses he is only tipping them 14% now to make up for the lack of taxation on their tips so the final comes out to about the same amount they made when taxes were still in effect!

That is, so long as they don't spend any of their money on cola--- no one who depends on tip money from anyone other should have the right to buy Coke and Pepsi.

I never was a Christian...Why don't you pay my taxes and find out there is nothing offshore since I don't live on the beach?

 

[Darkwind]

Don't be 'concerned right now for the taxation short fall. That's comes later for some other politician to take the heat.

For now the fascist regime can benefit from millions of workers expressing their thanks at the ballot box!

There is no taxation shortfall. ONLY an excess of spending.

Are the Rich Getting Richer?​

Yes, and at a faster rate than the rest of the population. According to Federal Reserve Board data, the top 0.1% of households in terms of wealth held 8.5% of the nation's wealth in Q3 1989. By Q2 2024, that had risen to 13.5%. For the rest of the top 1%, the percentages rose from 14.3% to 16.7% over the same period. So the wealthiest top 1% now holds more than 30% of all wealth. Those gains came at the expense of the less-wealthy household categories, all of which lost ground on a percentage basis. The bottom 50%, for example, saw their share fall from an already low 3.5% down to 2.5%.6

Poor waitresses, i.e. people who get tips are considered by the dummies as bad as billionaires who don't pay taxes, now under the new bill.
BUT these dummies are all upset that the following adults who ARE ABLE-BODIED don't want to work but watch TV be required to work to get Medicaid!
How truly dumb are these people?
"Able-bodied adults on Medicaid: Approximately 7 to 10 million able-bodied, non-working adults without dependents are estimated to be enrolled in Medicaid. Data from December 2022 showed about 13.9 million able-bodied adults without dependents (ABAWDs) on Medicaid.
Time spent watching TV/gaming: Some reports indicate that non-working, able-bodied Medicaid recipients spend a significant amount of time on these activities, such as an average of 4.2 hours per day. Another report claimed 125 hours per month.
Gender: In 2023, around 46% of Medicaid recipients were male.
Important Considerations:
Work Requirements: Discussions about Medicaid often involve work requirements for able-bodied adults.
Data Limitations: The available data, while informative, does not provide a precise figure for the specific group (able-bodied, TV game-watching males on Medicaid). Further detailed analysis would be required to get a more accurate count.
These statistics are part of a broader discussion about Medicaid and its recipients, and they do not capture the full complexities of the individuals enrolled in the program.
Congressman Aderholt Backs Speaker Johnson: New Data Shows Able-bodied Medicaid Recipients Spend Over 120 Hours a Month Watching TV and Playing Video Games Instead of Working
June 3, 2025
Press Release
Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04) today issued the following statement in strong support of Speaker Mike Johnson’s comments regarding waste and abuse in the Medicaid system, following a new report exposing how non-working Medicaid recipients are spending their time.

“Speaker Johnson hit the nail on the head when he said Medicaid shouldn’t be going to ‘29-year-old males sitting on their couches playing video games.’
The American Enterprise Institute’s new analysis confirms it: many able-bodied Medicaid recipients who aren’t working are spending their time — not looking for jobs — but glued to screens.”

According to the AEI study, non-working Medicaid recipients without children spend an average of 4.2 hours every day watching TV and playing video games.
That adds up to 125 hours per month — time that could be used for working, volunteering, or gaining job skill

Wrong.
Unemployed 29 year olds may be on Medicaid due to low income, but they also are not going to be costing anything, since that age group has very little medical needs.

The reality is that most Medicaid is for elderly who do not get enough from Social Security or Medicare in order to cover their assisted living expenses.

How can you be so wrong ? Waitress depend on tips.

BTW: Do you have a link with specifics of billionaires get tax breaks ?

And please not some satanic press quote that says: Billionaires get tax breaks.

In all my time posting on message boards one LIB responded to that question with a link. And tho I would not agree with him 100% it did CLEARY show one incident how the rich were beating the Tax Man with a loop hole.

Pocket change? You are a filthy liar. I have not met one waitress who thinks her money is pocket change that she dont need.

Yes Dems ARE that insulting and stuck up. The assholes are also too cheap to tip.

 

[Rigby5]

Margaret Thatcher was awful.
Her attack on Argentina was awful.

Socialism obviously is vastly superior to capitalism, because by people pooling funds to come up the investment needed for the means of production themselves, you eliminate the vast doubling in costs created by the profits demanded by the monopolies and stock holders.

Just compare any socialist program like the Post Office, public schools, public health care in the rest of the world, etc.
It obviously is vastly cheaper and better.
That is because you get to control or at least influence public endeavors, while you get no say at all in private monopolies.

 

[Rigby5]

You prove my point, a waitress is over taxed by democrats and now needs food stamps and welfare from democrats.

sound like democrat marxism

If you qualify for food stamps and welfare, you are not paying any taxes at all.

 

[Rigby5]

The corporate billionaires are democrats. Give us a list of the Ten top billionaires in the USA. They are all democrats.

Who controls the most money, trillions, all democrats

Wrong.
The democrats are poorer individually, but there are more of them.
The republicans are much wealthier, but there are fewer of them.

Her campaign directly raised over US$1 billion, with 40 per cent coming from small donors, plus an additional US$586 million from supporting political action committees.

Donald Trump’s campaign raised US$382 million directly, with 28 per cent from small donors, while affiliated committees contributed US$694 million.

The largest donor was Mr Timothy Mellon, the reclusive 82-year-old banking heir who contributed US$197 million to Trump and Republican causes.

[Twisted Gypsy Child]

The waitresses tax break on tips won't amount to much more than pocket change over a year, and the reduction ends in 3 years. Billionaires got a much as hundreds of millions in tax breaks, and theirs is permanent.
View attachment 1132383

exactly! do not let Ghost of a Rider see your comments on Billionaires and tax breaks.

Remember Trump said no taxes on tips. But you got to make concessions to give the wealthy the tax breaks they demand. One way to look at is as follows. Bezos had a 50M wedding. Take the bottom 250 earners total LIFE savings on this board and you will not even be close to 50M.
