Awwww poor whittle little GOP doesn’t want you voting via drop box for no reason other than to make your voting experience harder and their ability to control the vote easier.

Let me say first that Big Dick had no business being on a wrestling show, even as a gag. Really stupid shock humor.
That said, I'm fairly certain he was mostly an ECW thing and I'm not sure if he ever showed up on WWE RAW/Smackdown programming. This would have been circa 2006, almost 20 years ago, so not really the wrestling that our kids watch now. WWE has been in the current "PG" era since about 2008. In fact, I want to say this guy came out for a PPV because I'm not sure even family friendly USA Network would have tolerated that.

But seriously, fuck that guy. He was never funny, fans hated him.

The GOP really should be ashamed of themselves for continuing to attack gay marriage. I’d definitely vote for this kid today.

Well spoken kid. He's impressive.

As a conservative libertarian, I believe that gay marriage should be legal. But there needs to be reciprocity. Churches should retain the right to deny requests for Christian wedding ceremonies without repercussion.

I'm a Pisces and I think Churches should pay taxes.

No problem there. We have plenty of McJesus denominations totally willing to consecrate a good gay Christian marriage.

I think some churches should pay taxes, but it should be no different than cutoffs on the individual level. Churches bringing in x number of dollars pay y percentage, churches bringing in below x number of dollars pay a smaller percentage or nothing. Religion is on the decline these days. I've been scouting out new churches for my family. I grew up Catholic, the Mrs was Baptist, we decided to compromise on something in the middle. Lately I've been attending a Presbyterian church where they only have one service each week and they struggle to bring in more than 30 people as it is. I really don't know how they're still going at this point. If they had to pay taxes on top of the meager sum they bring in each week it would finish them off.

Agreed. You charge as much as you can for what the consumer is willing to pay. Charge too much and people stop buying eggs. Nobody is forcing people to buy eggs. It's only problematic if their is price fixing going on amongst the egg producers.

We had a bread price fixing scandal up here lmao it was so heinous. If you ever want to look up the most punchable face and least likeable person, Galen Weston is your guy.

Joel Osteen is worth $40 million.

Surprised it ain't more.

A Google search says he gets the bulk of his income from book sales and speaking engagements. Both of which are taxable income. His status as a "clergy" doesn't exempt him from taxation. He pays property taxes as well, $247k reportedly in 2017 alone.

Anything beyond that, would need one of our esteemed Mendoza accountancy guys or Toronto to look into it, not my wheelhouse.

Is this inflation or corporate greed taking advantage of the current political environment?

You'd expect this in a supply shock. The price reflects the marginal cost off getting an egg. If you want to get people to produce more you have to reflect the cost of producing the next egg, not the cost of what they're already producing.

But people complaining about the price and blaming on it anything but the company? Makes zero sense.

Did he pay taxes on the money his plumber found behind his bathroom wall of his church, too? He pays taxes on books he writes. The church is tax free and he says he takes no salary (so no income taxes). He makes that claim from his $10.8 million mansion.
