Wednesday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Wednesday, 3/11/26, 8:17 am

I have lived a fairly privileged life. But someone making $1 Million a year is so outside my daily experience. On top of that to complain about taxes on the million and first dollar and beyond? I mean, these captains of industry have to have their pet legislators pull an all nighter to try to stop a tax on dollar one-million and one that year. Just pathetic. If you’re making that money, the state has been very good to you. Show some goddam appreciation.

Anyway, this is my last post before the end of the session, so your last reminder to contact your legislator.

    yeah, you’ll find no fraud in Mississippi. Right?

    How about the fraud in the current White House? Not your concern? Well, many others might be more concerned.

    And after you are done reading, you can ask about fraud in the schools in places like D.C. and Baltimore.
