  1. 10 years $95 million https://www.freep.com/story/sports/college/michigan-state/spartans/2021/11/17/michigan-state-football-mel-tucker-contract-mat-ishbia-steve-st-andre/8647710002/ People thought the Jimbo 10/75 contract was crazy. Tucker has one winning season as a HC.
  2. Fun last season. One player - his grandson - gets DWI. Another player - a future lottery pick - charged with aiding and abetting DWI.
  3. LOL, if the anyone on the other side said that it would be the ultimate Freudian slip.
  4. Looks like every one of my son's 10U soccer team pics if they medal in a tournament. There's always that kid. John - not surprisingly - is "that kid."
  5. 67% of US population has at least one dose. (78% 12 and up, 80% 18 and up) 58% fully vaccinated (68% 12 and up, 70% 18 and up) https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccinations_vacc-people-onedose-pop-12yr
  6. I just let it go but really hard to discuss a wealth tax with someone who clearly doesn’t even know the difference between income and net worth.
  7. If I make $100 blowing Tubbs, I should pay tax on that income. No one has argued that. That's different than a wealth tax or a cap on wealth.
  8. Prime example of a guy you might think is a billionaire and you spend a year valuing every business and asset he has an interest in, only to find out that he's worth about $600 million and the billionaire tax doesn't even apply to him.
  9. None of this conversation is about income.
  10. Its their job to value private companies constantly? Since when? That's a massive, very time consuming, and expensive job. Especially when, in most cases, there will be no pay off.
  11. Every time I've asked a question on how your plan works, you've come back with a personal attack. I don't think you can explain any of it.
  12. Learn how to quote, "dimwit." That's not an answer. Is the government constantly valuing private companies? And if they determine someone owns $1.3 billion in a private company, that doesn't mean the person has $300,000,000 in cash to pay this 100% tax on all net worth over $1 billion. How does this work? Income is easy. You received money, now pay a share. That's exactly what you've promoted multiple times.
  13. Y'all have said this over and over. I asked how. Who values a private company and, assuming the stake in the company is the primary asset, how is the tax paid? I do not. Funny that y'all think that's everyone's motivation. That they believe they will one day be a billionaire and won't want a wealth tax when they get there. Like everyone else here, I've been around people better at certain things than me throughout my entire life. Some made better grades. Some more creative. Some better athletes. And I never wanted to cap their success just because I was never going to be them. A progressive tax makes sense to me. A wealth tax does not. A cap certainly does not.
  14. So he's giving it to his employees and there is no tax paid?
