This is not very much money. SLF is spending more than $50M. How much will be spent in this race? Now ask why anybody is thinking about AIPAC. Hmmm
NEWS β
AIPAC is preparing to spend big for Mike Rogers in Michigan.
AIPAC plans to send up to $9 million to the Rogers super PAC, potentially reigniting a clash with Abdul El-Sayed.

NEW YORK TIMES now confirming my reporting from weeks ago that El-Sayed signed a letter in support of the Muslim Brotherhood in 2012
(naturally not crediting the Free Beacon at all)
El-Sayed also refused to comment on letter to them!)

It can absolutely be both if the billionaires think it will not be a one time tax, even if they're wrong.
Either the tax is annual β and in that case it generates revenue annually, and some billionaires leave.
Or the tax is one-time β in that case it generates revenue in just one year, and there is no incentive to leave.
It canβt be both at the same time.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Billionaires can leave based on beliefs the one-time tax signals future annual ones, even if it stays one-timeβyielding lost income taxes without annual wealth revenue. This models uncertainty, a standard approach.

First Macron, now this. Do Europeans understand incentives?
In light of recent episodes of violence, the Church in France is calling for a response to the anxiety expressed by young people and those who feel marginalized or left behind, with the Archbishop of Tours advocating for restoring democratic dialogue through intermediary institutions.

She can authorize her university to release her records so the GPA can be compared to the threshold that year. She won't, because it looks like she's continuing to lie.
