I like capitalism. It’s helped me a lot over the years. But it’s interesting that the course description mentions how capitalism helps millions of people every year, on a planet with over 8 billion people.

Trump is more focused on botching the Reflecting Pool and building his big, ugly ballroom than he is on lowering costs for the American people.

I’m useless here, since both of Virginia’s senators are Democrats. (And smart.). Do what you can if you have a Republican senator or two.

It’s ok there are ways to earn money I can’t take advantage of, because of my knowledge or skills. But I don’t get why it’s unfair to keep just 1% of my money, after giving the rest to my country in taxes, while I stay financially secure. (1% of a billion is 10,000,000). I could live on that

For decades, the IRS has been required to audit every sitting president annually; a critical safeguard to ensure no president has a secret financial stake in betting against the American people they swore to serve. Every president accepted those audits without question. - Until now.
