Is the math too difficult?
How about 10% below weekly takehome pay, to be figured out when filing taxes?

Question. Aside from a whole boatload of grievances, what are all these oppressed minorities contributing, that entitles them to, well, whatever it is they're demanding?

It's like if I say to you, "Give me all your money." And you say no, and I say, "Give me all your money, cracker," and you say, "Why should I give you my money?" And I say, "Because you have money and I don't, and that's all that counts. Why you keep asking stupid questions?"

Stop spending.

Stop spending.
