I always liked J.Brown. I had no idea that he had become attorney general of California (or that he was no longer mayor of Oakland - I'm a bit behind the times! The latter job is better, he can do more).
Brown also had the best plan for a "flatter tax" that I've ever heard. It was basically this (some minor details may be in error): 17% for all (corporations & individuals) who make over 50K, no exceptions/exemptions; 13% for 12K to 50k,no exceptions/exemptions, 0 taxes for under 12k.Perfect!
Yes,JBrown's flatter tax would fund all the country's expenses comfortably. That's Progressive compared to our current regressive system:everyone pays 35% except corporations (25%) & multi-millionaires Hedge Fund investors (15%). And then there's Social Security, which is going broke over regressiveness: Less than $100,000/yr pays 14%; $1 Million/yr pays 1.4%; 10Mil pays 0.14%; 100Mil pays 0.014%; 1 Billion/yr pays 0.0014%. In short, a person making $10,000 pays 10,000 times the rate.
Yes, even someone making $5,000/yr pays 10,000 times the rate of someone making 1 Billion! That's how dishonest politicians make SocSec go broke, by not collecting ANY of the money due from the rich. Obama has a cowardly idea to deal with the disparity. He just announced he wants to close that TEN THOUSAND-TO-ONE Billionaire loophole. But he wants to close it IN THE YEAR 2019!
I love this spirit! Since I used to be a dietitian food is one of my things-----and isn't it everybodies?. Michael Pollan has some good books out now. I look forward to your videos.
Hey, medicine socks, I've been eating junk food all my life. I've consumed so many preservatives over the years, you'd be surprised to realise - I'm actually 62 this year. :P

Nicely done. Awsome lyrics. But like Elly--I'm a candy hound. On the other hand, I walk most places I go, so not a crude hound.

I like candy, lots of ice cream, pie ... if 'You are what you eat,' then, I guess I'm mainly filler.
