  1. This outrage over paying taxes amuses me. As if no one in this forum realizes that the U.S. Treasury needs to be replenished after Republican trillion dollar tax cuts for the rich. Why would anyone follow the words of celebrities who exist in a different world? And you’re mad at Joe Biden. Just remember, the former Vice President is not a radical. He is sensible. But he also knows that the federal government needs more revenue. In 2019, Biden revealed a tax plan that would boost federal revenue by $3.2 billion. He wants to · Tax Capital Gains as income · Raise the corporate tax rate to 28% · End the stepped-up basis loophole which allows someone inheriting property and investments to reduce their capital gains taxes · Establish a corporate minimum tax (how many times have you read about corporations paying no taxes?) · Tax foreign profits at 21% · Cap deductions for the wealthy · Impose sanctions for using tax havens · Raise the highest individual tax rate to 39.6% (for the richest) · End real estate loopholes, which will end “like-kind” exchanges that help property investors · End tax breaks for fossil fuel production Biden has specifically said the money raised by these changes to the tax laws will fund social programs. According to Trump fans, everyone’s taxes will go up under Biden That is nonsense. Unless you make more than $400,000 a year, you will pay the same in federal taxes. The claim that the tax rate for those making over $400,000 may be pushed over 60% are applicable for only three states: California (62.64 percent), Hawaii (60.34 percent), and New Jersey (60.09 percent). Marginal rates would also exceed 60 percent in New York City (62.03 percent). This is from the Tax Foundation website. Who makes $400,000 a year in this forum? If you do, congratulations! But the wealthy need to pay their fair share of the tax base. This should have never been the task of the Middle Class. Why the rage over Biden? Because he is targeting rich people and corporations. Both will pay more in taxes. It’s even possible the rich and corporations may no longer be able to use many loopholes and exceptions that keep them from paying their fair share. The potential beneficiaries of Biden’s tax plan would be the social programs he wants to fund with the increased tax revenue.

  2. Lol.... Man, why are you always grinning in your pictures and videos? Seeing that pallet of shrink wrapped boxes just gave me a flashback of past warehouse jobs. I can still feel the tough texture of the plastic I'd cut and pull open to receive products. We can, and should, build on the web and in the real world. As my West Indian brothers would say, that's the LIVING truth!

  4. They fed me belly-full, And sent me to bed With an empty heart And a starved soul And told themselves What great parents they were But they fed me. They fed me belly-full, And starved my soul. They planted my rage, And righteously questioned why I was not like the rest… My soul hungered for love, Yet my belly hungered not. ... Excerpt from My Upcoming Book Of Poems, "My Black Soul Dirges"

  5. I would review it. And add it to my recommended list of books of cultural and racial learning for my readers if it fit. How do I get it?

  6. Troy If things go as I expect them to, polygamy will be a STAPLE of our community as early as late next year.....because we as AfroAmericans will be much more liberated to practice it. While I do believe this civilization will end, it wont be because of who people choose to love... I will be for the exact opposite reason. I'm not 100% sure but...... In the future civilization.....OUR future Civilization at least....polygamy as well as homosexuality will be much better understood. But homosexuality and bisexuality will be put in their PROPER perspective. The key to this is TRUE sexual liberation where consenting adults are free to sleep with and unite with whomever they want. When this is TRULY allowed instead of being regulated and manipulated....the natural order of things will take shape. When African people are left alone to follow our natural desires, we will see peace and harmony and a more well balanced family structure. The reason you're not seeing among our people right now is because our community is being heavily manipulated from OUTSIDE forces who are purposely trying to destablize the Black family. But when those forces are no longer strong enough to do it....you'll see our natural society balance restored.

  7. This is what I think about it. Black people (and everyone) need to stop worrying about what is Harris/Biden going to do for me, or what is Donald J. Trump going to do for me. Obviously, if you make more money you are going to pay more taxes, that has always been the case. The bottom line is that we are on our own and if you want something done for you, you had better get busy and do it for your damn self because none of them gives a care about any of us.

  8. I recently heard a sister talk passionately about the three bones for success as taught by her Grand Mother. It was interesting to me as it rang true. So what are the three bone for success and why should you bother about them? The First of the three bones for success – The Wish Bone The wish bone will keep you hoping and praying. Hope is the motivator but your dream is the driver. We keep going because we hope for tomorrow, that tomorrow will be better than today; hope is being able to see light in-spite of all of the darkness. Hope will motivate you to chase your dreams. Faith will push you to pray. A strong wish bone, intangible as it may sound is very necessary to your success! The Second of the three bones – The Jaw Bone The jaw bone gives you courage to speak truth to power. We have an obligation to lift our voice to try to make crooked paths straight in our own way. And we have an obligation to speak up for those who can’t or don’t know how. The jaw bone will give you your voice, make you heard, tell people your position, where you stand and why. The Third of the three bones for success – The Backbone Read more: https://misskorang.com/the-three-bones-for-success-do-you-have-them/

  10. Dear Chocolate Brotha, I love you so much because I can see it in your beautiful eyes – Your determination, your fight, your struggle, your perseverance. You have that spirit that gives you the courage to withstand all obstacles. That spirit that measures your man-hood, that defies defeat - that spirit in which your mother’s breasts nourished you for what’s to come, makes me fall in love with you over and over, again. Your eyes tell about the passion you have for family. I see the pain in your eyes, frustrated that you have to work twice as hard to get a nod - having to pat your own self on the back when you know that recognition is due. My heart bursts at the thought of your strength. I admire your endurance, humility and humble spirit. I fall in love with you over and over again, my Chocolate Brotha.
