I have a feeling most athletes don't even know politics as well as the average Joe. Also what the hell is up with the acronym USWNT, why does everything have to have an abbreviation these days? It is amazing how our women's team dominates and our men can't even qualify for the World Cup.

Bruh I really don't want to turn this into a political thread but this is just flat-out false. AOC's 70% marginal tax rate means you only get taxed at the level once you reach a certain income threshold of 10 million dollars a year. And that first 10 million isn't even touched at that level, anything above it is. And btw, she came up with that idea because from WW2 to Reagan the marginal tax rate was between 94-70%. Reagan bumped it down to 50% in 1982, and then down to 38.5% in 1987. It has hovered between 39-37% since then.

But thanks for sticking up for those poor hard working Americans who make over 10 million a year. I'm sure they appreciate your help.
