Too Moomin, Gary & Wiggo all you are doing is affirming the proven concept of diminishing marginal utility. Specifically 1 dollar is less useful to someone who makes 10 million a year than someone who makes 30 thousand a year.

Strange that you have a regulated minimum wage by the US government.
Blin. We don't have such communistic ideas here:)
Then all statistics about income and taxes that are per household.
What? Very confusing. How do you calculate marginal utilities then?
And what is a household in the US anyway per definition?
Here all people above 18 years pay individual income tax no matter the size of the household.
Even if the person have an income that is way lower than the US minimum wage:)

I don't know about that being "communistic idea", but it's certainly a socialist 1 Janne. ;-)

Maybe that's why Trump is so fond of Vova Putin and Kim with his Lollybombs...

This is mainly for Clyde, as he keeps repeating Trump's claim that the Christopher Steele dossier is bogus.

Reuters - Trump 'dossier' author grilled by Justice Department watchdogs: sources

In that same month, Attorney General William Barr, who now heads the Justice Department, told a congressional committee that the Horowitz probe would be completed by May or June.

One of the two sources said Horowitz’s investigators appear to have found Steele’s information sufficiently credible to have to extend the investigation. Its completion date is now unclear.

ALL conjecture, from 'anonymous' sources(all officials refused to comment), a favorite ploy by 'News' agencies seeking higher ratings.....as with Mueller it remains to be seen what will be in the report.

Probably another 'fart in a skillet'.

Is asserting a motive (i.e. "seeking higher ratings") with no evidence, an example of "conjecture"? Are you still waiting to see the content of the Mueller report? Is NPR an acceptable source for this document?

BTW I don't expect an answer, I suspect I am still on JaundicedEye's ignore list (if so, I've been there for over three years).
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ...

Alex Acosta resigns from U.S. government after furor over Jeffrey Epstein plea deal


U.S. Labour Secretary Alexander Acosta on Friday resigned after earlier in the week defending way [sic] he handled a decade-old sex abuse case against wealthy businessman Jeffrey Epstein while Acosta was a federal prosecutor.

Donald Trump announced the news with Acosta by his side at the White House as the president left on a trip to the Midwest.

...

The prosecutors said they were not bound by the 2008 Florida deal struck by Acosta, then the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida, that allowed Epstein to plea to a lesser offence. Epstein served 13 months in jail with leave during the day and registered as a sex offender.

The deal came under scrutiny earlier this year following reporting by the Miami Herald, and Democrats en masse had called for Acosta's resignation.

Acosta had attempted to clear his name, and on Wednesday held a news conference — encouraged by Trump — to defend his actions. In a 50-plus-minute lawyerly rebuttal, Acosta argued his office had secured the best deal it could at the time and was working in the victims' best interests.

"We did what we did because we wanted to see Epstein go to jail," he said, refusing to apologize for his actions. "We believe that we proceeded appropriately."

People are coming into this country illegally, we are taking them out legally,” Trump told reporters on Friday, calling it a “major operation” that would mainly focus on removing criminals.

Now you KNOW full well that is not the truth. Why do you insist on bending reality. The US takes in over 1 million LEGAL immigrants a year. Name another country that allows that many people to relocate each year to their system.

By the way, it's probably old news to you, it didn't get much play in the States due to the sway of the Marxist/Leninist/Socialist controlled mass media, but what is your take on these headlines from March.....

Finland: Government Collapses Over Universal Health Care Costs,

Obviously what Finland has done has not worked well in a very important fiscal sense but what what has happened under Obama care and the previous health care system has not done well either.
The problem is that people do not want to pay taxes for the services they demand, witness the incredible growth in national debt. Methinks one should borrow when necessary such as the great recession and pay down the debt during prosperous times such as now.
