    I'd also like to see everybody with earned income pay taxes. Everybody. Doesn't matter if you make $10 or $10M. Everybody. I'd also like to see an end to the unearned income tax credit. Period. I think the above suggestions do a couple of things: When you have skin in the game, you're less likely to just want to fling money around. No unearned income tax credit gives lower income workers more impetus to educate and train for better jobs. It also forces employers to quit depending on the government to subsidize their workforce. Workers will flow to where the money is, even in lower-paying jobs.

    @Jolly said in No Michigan?: @89th said in No Michigan?: Some fair points in there, and if Trump were smart and follow his normal process, he'll make statements in Michigan that hint at being a peacemaker and deal maker.... Oh, I'd harp on that, but I'd also remind that large Muslim community that you came here legally, and I would love to do more for you, except for our porous border and the illegal aliens... He should also campaign on the fact that the Biden Education Department is forcing policies on schools to allow activist teachers to queer their children. Muslims are very upset about that. Of course, Trump’s own education department was nearly as bad. They didn’t actively promote policies, but they sat back and let the educational system rot, so… Yeah.

    Here we have the track kitchen, an ages old fixture at the former harness racing track. Cheap, decidedly not upscale and really good food. [image: 1709259208067-img_4214.jpeg]

    Jesus. In my youth, I dated a girl who went to the U of C undergrad. It was interesting to watch her transformation from a sweet Catholic girl from suburban Chicago to a far left radical. Of course, this was the late 60s, but it is representative of how the U of C was, back in the day. At Northwestern undergrad, we were much more restrained. But to see the MEDICAL school's students... Go back to anatomy lab, you morons. Learn the foramina in the base of the skull and the branches of the brachial plexus. It will come to be much more useful 20 years from now. Some pharmacology wouldn't hurt either...asshole.
