made above 30K. That 30K will mean less for the wealthy, but it is the same across the
board. As it stands now, those who write the laws cut themselves and others
sweetheart deals and exemptions, and those would go away, and everyone would be

The need for the IRS would be greatly reduced since the tax code would be
simplified in the extreme.

I hate to think what Diesel costs.
Wonder how much a trucker pays for a full tank?
Ya reckon that will filter down to what we pay for the stuff being hauled?
Inflation is just getting started.
Gee I wish Biden hadn't shut down all the production and pipelines and such. What a dick.

I was a Republican. Why don't more conservatives see this? The GOP have never and will never demonstrate a limited government approach. Dodge, weave, deflect, blame.
Vote them out!

I wish my country would have switched to metric a long time ago.
How many gallons is 3 liters?
@athousandyoung saidMhmmm… yeah… sure.
