so i'm watchin my favorite jersey girl, stephanie ruhle talking to katie porter.

you may know that the carried interest thing is her favorite bone to chew. she tosses it out at the end as a- next time- topic.

so here's my thought. does anyone have standing to challenge this in court? i mean, you can challenge tax rules in court right? are there restrictions on that?
could a state that bases their rates on federal figures sue?
could people in similar positions sue to also get it, and force a show down?

i may have had too much coffee this am.

1. Good questions.

[samplegirl]

2. She's my favorite

as well.

4. always loved her insider take on big money.

me ex was in the biz, on the tech side, and she was always dead on.

and btw- he ended up sacked after they foolishly turned a member owned org over to goldman sachs. it was good while it lasted, but...
in fact, they pulled out of chicago except for a shell.

7. I grew to like Stephanie Ruhle...

at first I thought of her as too conservative, but after watching her for a while I realized she actually aligns with my way of thought as a true fiscal conservative that was for rational budgeting, including those programs that take care of families and the poor. She doesn't have the current RW knee jerk reaction to every tax proposal and seems to have a mother's perspective on social issues.

Besides, she's really easy on the eyes, too.

9. yeah, grl crush here.

i admit it.

10. Probably shouldn't say it, but it looks like she got a facial in her break...

between her morning gig and her evening show. Perhaps a peel? I don't really understand those things, but she looked better when she started her night gig and it was more than makeup changes. It was about a two week break IIRC. I know, I'm not supposed to notice those things, but...

Whatever, she's a handsome lady for sure.

[mopinko]

11. now that you mention it.

i'd find it more gross if i didnt know there's a lot of baby faced middle aged men in the biz.

[mopinko]

12. no doubt has better hair and make up in the new slot.

5. Maybe after Midterms we might have better numbers

and carried interest should be one of the first items.

Wishing and hoping here, I know.

6. Assuming we can build some bigger majorities in both chambers...

I assume finishing more of Build Back Better would be high on the agenda.

We still need some Social Security/Medicare tweaks and election security didn't go very far. More of the Green New Deal would be useful as well.

A lot left to be done, and we know repubs won't do it.

8. Agree on all fronts. n/t
