  • We aren’t talking about massive tax breaks. That’s what’s insane.

    Currently SS is capped at ~$180k dollars @ ~5%. That means if you earn $180k, you pay 9k in SS tax. If you earn $2 billion you pay 9k in taxes.

    These greedy leeches are destroying one of the only semi-decent systems all next to no money from them personally.

    The actual tax increase from trump’s expiring tax cuts is also something like 4%. Meaning these billionaires are doing all this work to save an extra $0.04 on every dollar of income.

    They keep talking about the dangers and problems with debt, yet the blindingly obvious solution is a moderate increase in taxes. But instead of even broaching that subject, they are trying to also give themselves a tax cut while destroying social programs.

    It’s robbery, plain and simple.


  • Pretty much everyone you are talking to voted Democrat. You know who didn’t? People whose families were murdered by US munitions.

    You know who also didn’t? The mythical anti-trump Republican voters who the Biden/Kamala campaign exclusively tried to win over.

    Maybe instead of getting mad at people calling out the Democrats losing strategy you should get mad at Republicans who are destroying everything and the feckless Democrats who learned nothing from this last election.
