The plaintiffs’ arguments in Moore v. United States have little basis in law — unless you think that a list of long-ago-discarded laissez-faire decisions from the early 20th century remain good law. And a decision favoring these plaintiffs could blow a huge hole in the federal budget. While no Warren-style wealth tax is on the books, the Moore plaintiffs do challenge an existing tax that is expected to raise $340 billion over the course of a decade.

But Republicans also hold six seats on the nation’s highest Court, so there is some risk that a majority of the justices will accept the plaintiffs’ dubious legal arguments. And if they do so, they could do considerable damage to the government’s ability to fund itself.

    Good advice, you should take it.

    You aren’t my family bud or you wouldn’t be a bigot.

      “Fam” is slang. Also you don’t need to use complete sentences. You’re not in my class. You just asked me to advise you to, and I find you fun so I wanted to help out.

        Slang for family dumb dumb, probably know what it means before you use it.

        No one is in your class bud.

        You bounce between offended by basic shit and other bigotry, pick a lane and stop clutching your pearls.

        You’re a bigot, at least be an honest bigot. An ashamed Nazi is still a Nazi after all.

          It’s derived from “family” but not used that literal way colloquially. That’s not really how slang works. “Cool” things aren’t below ambient temperature.

            Wrong again bud, you should do actual research before you pop off.

            You’re being an idiot, if I call you fam it’s a familiar term. We aren’t familiar and I clearly think you’re a bigoted shitstain.

            You’re a bigot, at least be an honest bigot. An ashamed Nazi is s still a Nazi.

              We’re definitely familiar. I’ve fucked a lot of people I’ve spoken to less than you

                That’s not a brag that just makes you a shitty person but we already know you don’t think much of the opposite sex.

                You’re a bigot, at least be an honest bigot. An ashamed Nazi is still a Nazi after all.

                  Why would having consensual sex with people after very little time make me a bad person?
