39. Hey Speaker Johnson
Tue Feb 18, 2025, 03:28 AM
Feb 2025

our foremost national priority is a stable international order. Once that is somewhat in place, all other issues can be easily addressed. Indeed, most of our domestic issues can be easily addressed by doing just one thing: tax the bejeezus out of everyone having a net worth greater than $15 million. And that includes all the highly paid pro-athletes, actors and actresses, singers and other musicians (you know, liberals).

And then use that tax to fund all the needed services to help the impoverished, indigent, ill, and despondent people in the country. As well as migrants coming to the US for asylum or opportunity.
