People who leave their shopping carts in the middle of the aisle and then walk away.

People who leave their shopping carts in random spots in the parking lot.

People that drive 20 under the speed limit in the left lane.

I'm not saying that at all. What I'm saying is wait until the inauguration at least

In the right circumstance, someone coughing in your face is assault and you would have a right to defend yourself accordingly

So abortion should be legal? Their body, their choice right?

The fox, the grain, and then the chicken

Edit: no wait, you're still leaving the grain alone with the chicken. So you take the chicken across, then go back for the grain. You drop the grain off, and take the chicken back with you, then drop the chicken off and take the fox and take it across, then go back for the chicken

Proportional taxes, inflation defense, lower credit standards. My wife and I live in the lower-class bracket. We have been trying to move to a different state, and even with a credit score within the standards, the missing pre req is a standard income. Since my VA disability is tax-free, it is not supposed to be registered for income, and if one person uses that as their primary income, It's shown that one spouse has zero income and that the other spouse is paying an amount that's shows that income is hemorrhaging

No. Don't yeet her out, but lobbying, absolutely. We as Americans need to start pushing OUR representatives to do what WE want. The official middle-class annual income is around $54K - $161K. Huge window, and those numbers are obviously embellished because it's claimed those numbers make up 50% of Americans. 11% of the percentage left over is poverty level, lower Class is 29%, and the rest is upper or upper-middle class.

So 41% of Americans can't or struggle affording the American Dream.

Now, let's look at tax brackets (which socially in America is what really defines your class)

$0-$11,000 essentially means you're homeless or in prison $11,001-$44,275 means you're impoverished $44,276-$95,375 is lower Class $95,376-182,100 is lower-middle class $182,101-231,250 is middle class $231,251-$578,125 is upper-middle class $578,126 and up is upper class.

So in substance, there are 7 tax brackets that represent "all" of the American people. When they say "Middle Class," they include all of the tax brackets that include the word "middle" and take the higher ends of lower-class. So they are embellishing the numbers to make it look like the majority is being spoken for, but what they're actually doing is fudging statistical numbers to try and cover the "majority" of Americans in 3 tax brackets.

You're not wrong, but it was a difficult vote because all she lobbies for is "The Middle Class". Like I don't give a rat's balloon knot about the middle class. What about people who are stuck in a lower tax bracket trying to get a house? What about those same people trying to get enough money to save so their children can be in a higher tax bracket. Dem reps are throwing "Middle Class" around like they're an unrepresented minority, and haven't said anything about lower Class people that are having to live paycheck to paycheck because of inflation and shit peasant pay.

Honestly looks like a scam email because it's as little detail as possible. Did you check the email? Bet it's going to be a bunch of numbers "@gmail"
