"Everything I don't like is Hitler" - Some Conservative who's scared of the loud working class congresswomanmad the help is getting uppity.
It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

I could have easily mistaken him for Ben Shapiro, considering how the shorty is obsessed with AOC.
Heather Long (Economic Correspondent, Washington Post): There are growing calls to address these inequalities, particularly the wage inequality, with more taxes. In particular, in the United States, there's been a call by Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez to tax people earning over ten million at a seventy percent tax rate. The current top rate in the United States is thirty-seven percent. Michael Dell, do you support this?(General laughter.)Panelist: I just wanna say, I'm thrilled that they're asking you this.Michael Dell (CEO, Dell Technologies): Wow. Well, look, I mean, um, you know, my wife and I set up a foundation about twenty years ago and we would have contributed quite a bit more than a seventy percent tax rate on my income, on my annual income, and I feel much more comfortable with our ability as a private foundation to allocate those funds than I do giving them to the government.Long: All right, all right.Dell: So no, I'm not supportive of that. And (repeated multiple times) I don't think it would help the growth of the US economy,Long: Oh, that's interesting. And can you say a little more about why? Why you don't think it would?Dell: Well, name a country where that's worked. Ever.Erik Brynjolfsson (Director of MIT's Initiative on the Digital Economy): The United States.Long: Briefly, in the 80s.Brynjolfsson: No, no, no, from about the 1930s through about the 1960s, the tax rate averaged about seventy percent. At times it was up as high as ninety-five percent, and those were actually pretty good years for growth. So, I don't have a strong opinion on that a lot, the devil is in the details, um, but I think it's, uh, there's actually a lot of economics that suggests that it's not necessarily going to hurt growth.
