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.

    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.

          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?

              To anyone else that I don’t know to be for a fact to be a misogynistic bigot it doesn’t, in your case it’s just additional shitty behavior.

              Let’s unpack your bigotry. Why do you insist on calling everyone crazy .

                I don’t call everyone crazy. I call you crazy because it’s our fun little game.

                  Lol, nice cover “I’m not always a douchebag, just most of the time”. I can you a Nazi, not because it’s a fun game but because you almost certainly goosestep with gusto.

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

                    Lol my nickname in college with an entire friend ground was “douchebag” because I am indeed a lovable douche.

                    I can’t really goose-step tho. Sports injuries. :(
