From the scholarly journal Vogue, “May Every Woman Find Her Marty Ginsburg”:
As he became a tax attorney and Ruth pursued advocacy work at the ACLU and professorships, he famously took on the domestic task of cooking for the family.
So the judge who sought to create a bigger government was married to an attorney who specialized in minimizing client’s tax payments.
(Separately, RBG flouted convention by marrying a guy who earned way more than she did!)
Can “every woman” find a spouse who earns as much as a tax attorney? (the successful ones earn at least $600 per hour; Marty Ginsburg was a partner at Weil, Gotshal & Manges, where profits per partner were over $3 million in 2018) “Broke men are hurting American women’s marriage prospects” (New York Post):
“Most American women hope to marry, but current shortages of marriageable men — men with a stable job and a good income — make this increasingly difficult,” says lead author Daniel Lichter in a press release.
Lichter adds that unless your dream man is an Uber driver, the dearth of would-be grooms is prominent “in the current ‘gig economy’ of unstable, low-paying service jobs.”
To investigate the man drought, researchers created profiles of potential husbands, based on real husbands as logged in American Community Survey data. They then compared these hypothetical spouses with actual unmarried men.
They found that a woman’s made-up hubby makes 58 percent more money than the current lineup of eligible bachelors.
“This study reveals large deficits in the supply of potential male spouses,” the study concludes.
“Many young men today have little to bring to the marriage bargain, especially as young women’s educational levels on average now exceed their male suitors’,” Lichter says.
Some ladies are even starting to date down in order to score a forever partner.
And sure, there’s the whole “love” factor in a marriage. But, in the end, “it also is fundamentally an economic transaction,” says Lichter.
Maybe a Harris-Biden administration will help a lot more women realize the dreams expressed in the Vogue article. If tax rates are doubled, there will be a lot more tax attorneys.
It’s time to convert to Judaism!
“Donald Trump’s financial records are the Rosetta Stone for understanding the depth of his corruption and crimes,” Cohen said in the interview. “The more it is unraveled, the more he will unravel. It’s the reason he’s fought so hard to keep it under wraps.”

But the NYT got his tax returns, not his “financial records”. If the returns by themselves would enable the IRS to understand Trump’s crimes, wouldn’t the IRS have busted him by now? The IRS has had Trump’s tax returns all along! (plus, I guess, they’ve also had a lot of “financial records” since Trump has been audited for at least a few tax years)
@Philg:
The Times is publishing its stories and protecting its sources who took “grave personal risks” to provide the information to them. The idea that they got them honestly seems absurd. I don’t know why IRS hasn’t gone after him until these records were published in the New York Times, a month from the election.
Doublethink and rampant hypocrisy are pretty much defining features of the modern Left.
@Alex – I’d bet $20 that NYT journos simply made these “records” up. At grave personal risk of paper cut.
By the way, the confidentiality of tax records is protected by Tax Reform Act of 1976 which states that violation of IRS tax return confidentiality law may be charged as a felony, punishable by up to five years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines. If I were in Trump’s place, my lawyer would be filing federal lawsuit against NYT, it’s executives, and every single journalist involved right now.
…and if NYT admitted that they made the s*t up to avoid criminal prosecution, would hit them with defamation suit to take them out of business permanently.
