Black floors aren't neutral

White wall at the wood panelling, natural wood color for the exposed beams, leave the fireplace exposed, normal colored oak floors, with a Persian rug... That would probably all work on updated but not sterile bullshit way

I don't hate this, but my main concern has always been I don't think people who own companies should be forced to sell their shares in what they built.

Maybe there are other fixes like taxing loans against equity as if the shares were sold (at whatever rate, like you propose)... That way you can hold more than a billion in net worth, but you can't really access it.

How about no vote if your net worth is above 100m and you pay less than 25% in tax annually

As other mentioned its social security and Medicare tax. Social security tax ends after a point and Medicare tax continues (1.45% I think), hence the 2.2% effective tax rate.

What's missing is also the employer taxes, which are mirrored, this the cost of carrying employees in the US is higher than the gross wage... So the effective tax and real wage is all masked. (Eg if my salary is $100,000 I pay like $12k in social taxes and my employer also does the same, meaning the cost to the employer to hire me is $112,000)

All this said, the limit on social security tax is fucking stupid and needs to be abolished.

Obviously they get credit for providing her with room and board during that time period, so it's just about net take-home pay.

/s...

But you know their lawyer argued this kind of depraved shit

In 1984, the Oilers owner Peter Pocklington added his father, Basil, to the Cup. It's covered by a series of Xxxxx.

How did the league approve this?

No, we experience shrinkflation of the education system. Same degrees but obviously we can't even identify different fruits anymore.

 

If only he knew a competent lawyer.
