Thread #1 - LD1-19 *Why support the Millionaires Tax?
1. NJ is in the TOP 10 of states for income inequality.
2. The wealthiest 5% pay LESS in income tax than middle class families.
3. NJ has seen an increase in millionaire households while raising the top rate in 2004. 1/
Top 3 key FACTS to fight against the myths:

1. Myth: All my millions will be taxed at a higher rate!

Fact: The tax would go from 8.97% to 10.75% for all annual earnings OVER $1 million. It does NOT apply to an individual's entire income. 2/
2. Myth: Millionaires will leave the state.

Fact: There is no "millionaire's tax flight" since 1994 and the number of tax filers over $500,000 have INCREASED. 3/
3. Myth: Millionaires cannot afford to pay 1.78% on income over $1Million with the federal SALT cap.

Fact: Even with the federal SALT cap, New Jersey’s top one percent of tax filers still receive a net tax cut of approximately $3,200. 4/
NJ has 40 Legislative Districts (LD). You are represented by 1 State Senator and 2 Members of Assembly. They write all the bills that @GovMurphy can sign into law, or veto, or conditionally veto. They represent about 220,000 constituents per LD. NCSL.org 5/ .

1. I know Boris's income tax pledge is unaffordable, regressive etc but I think people are missing the point. He has done it deliberately, there is method to his madness, like the infamous £350m.
2. First thing, this is a conservative leadership contest. This tax cut would be very well targeted from the point of view of both Conservative MPs and the 160,000 members.
3. Second, critics have fallen straight into his trap by immediately saying that it is a "tax cut for the wealthy", opening up a conversation about work, aspiration and incentives which he wants to have.

#Adolescence

#Hormone

I see many 13-14 year old boys and girls brought to clinic with a bunch of reports of hormonal levels.

In a free market like india it is possible to walk into a lab and have as many tests as you can pay for without any prescription from dr.
Parents (sometimes their family doctors) get these tests done in a quest to find explanation for these adolescents "changed" behavior.
These behaviours are -
1. Staying up late and struggle to get up in the morning.
2. Irritable mood
3. Desire to stay away from immediate and extended family
4. More connect with friends
5. Food dada
6. Laziness like their body is suddenly filled with lead.(they become Helium with phonecall from a friend)
7. General shabbiness of room and hygiene

#Thread: If you're a young professional who doesn't understand insurance and savings, this is for you.

Disclaimer: I'm not a finance expert. These are suggestions. You should make your own decisions based on your needs.
Okay first things: You may already be covered medically and saving money. How do you find this out? Look at your CTC in your appointment letter or your payslip

Do you have something called PF on it? That's a saving!

Did HR issue you an insurance card? That's your Mediclaim.
Things to ask: How much PF is being deposited into my account each month?

What's my sum insured? Is it just me who is covered or my dependents too?

e.g. You have 3 lacs for self plus dependents (parents/spouse/child). This means upto 3 lacs to be used by any of you per year

📌#Thread about #Sabrimala and myths.
Real history of sabrimala.
#SaveSabarimala
Lord Shiva & Mohini had a child named Dharmashasta.
He ws born to fulfil the boon that Mahishi had acquired from Lord Brahma that only a son of both Shiva & Vishnu can kill her.
@davidfrawleyved
2. His name and the story of His birth is explained in detail in the Bhagavata Purana.
Dharmashasta manifested Himself in various forms - as Aiyyanar, as Ayyappan, and as Himself. Prince Manikantan of Pandalam (Sabarimala Ayyappan) was the specific avatar He took to kill Mahishi.
3. So while Dharmashasta finds a mention in the Puranas, it is unlikely that Ayyappa would also be mentioned as Ayyappa’s birth happened many years after the Puranas were composed.
NO MENTION OF SABRIMALA IN VEDAS

@MUschoolofEduca @monmouthu #thread When I started the program, I had just moved to Manalapan. On many mornings, I would wake up before 5am to pick vegetables for my family and church. It is hard to believe, but agricultural work was a major part of my community's life in the early 1980s. /1
@MUschoolofEduca @monmouthu I attended @ranneyschool, so I saw that other families did not do what we did every day. I was also aware of how much my family relied on civil and military service to make ends meet. /2
@MUschoolofEduca @monmouthu @ranneyschool Being black in western Monmouth County, there was an assumption that we were poor, had always been poor, and would likely always be poor. Access to the #BlackBrainBelt from Red Bank to Belmar changed those ideas. /3

"28 days in Feb we had over 66,000 apprehensions. During this fiscal year, so far today since October we have had over 268,000 apprehensions so far, as compared to the same timeframe last fiscal year, that's a 97% increase."
CBP:"It is well known at this time that adults with children will not be detained during immigration proceedings for illegal entry. The word of mouth & social media quickly gets back to those in the northern triangle countries that if you bring a child you will be successful." 2/
