Reps might dislike’n all, but...

It's not about billionaires being against the rest of us, it's about them being out of touch with what normal people have to deal with. Does a $5000 deductible even register as a blip to someone with that much money? They spend more on shoes in a month. They cannot understand what a burden our healthcare system is for regular people.

I've participated in Epke's book club on occasion. It's fun, and I like the books they choose.

Bill Gates recently said something about income tax changes being a rounding error to billionaires.

Bill Gates wants a tax on wealth much like Thomas Piketty has recommended, rather than just an increase in income tax rates.

"In terms of revenue collection, you wouldn’t want to just focus on the ordinary income rate, because people who are wealthy have a rounding error of ordinary income. . . We can be more progressive, the estate tax and the tax on capital, the way the FICA and Social Security taxes work. We can be more progressive without really threatening income generation.”

Couldn't they have found a larger chair for Ekpe? WTH.

Any worse than what players have to sit in on NBA benches?

I’ve never understood that. The chairs sit on the concrete underneath the floor, so it’s like they’re sitting on little kid chairs, on top of usually being 6’6”+. Never understood why they couldn’t do reasonable seating for them. Looks painful.

I'd say so as a lot of NBA bench chairs are slightly reclined. Plus they have lots of padding. Though they should have larger bench chairs too.

It reflected that's shes a billionaire. Billionaires dont have a political party other than "let me keep my money" party.

I didnt know that was exclusive to billionaires.
