So true. This is where the tax con started.

Thom Hartmann has another great piece today on this exact thing. open.substack.com/pub/thomhart...

I am older now In my younger years I concocted many get even schemes I HAVE FUCKING HAD ENOUGH OF TRUMPS SHITTING ON AMERICA

Get money out of politics. Problem is, the same people who would have to change the laws to get money out of politics are all beneficiaries of money in politics.

Because these are the guys contributing to their re-election campaigns.

Plus, some aspects of the bill, such as energy policy, have a direct effect on the bottom line of some fairly prominent and influential ones. www.yahoo.com/news/old-pal...

Why is it said we have to ask billionaires to pay more taxes. No one ever checked with me to see if I mind a tax increase.

We have the same problem in the UK

www.youtube.com/watch?v=jipC...

The problem is that billionaires have to be “asked” and the rest of us “middle class paying the taxes” are just told or they take our shit.

They don’t even need to ask billionaires to contribute more. Just do it for 99% of Americans

America always has money for the three Bs. Bombs, bullets and billionaires.

Because that’s where they get all their money. They don’t give a sh*t about this country or anyone in it.

I don’t understand it 🤷‍♀️

Tax the rich - I know Mike Johnson and all of the other Republicans worship the Rich instead of Jesus buuuut ...Jeff Bezos spent 56 Million Dollars on a wedding while most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.... TAX THE FUCKING RICH!!!

The US already has the lowest tax rates in the developed world and spends the least per capita on social safety net programs.

The truth is withheld by billionaire class.

And they’re all stupid and crazy! #Yachtsaleforcharity

Exactly !

Bezos has 9 homes (compounds) totaling $600 Million, 4 jets totaling $150M and 2 yachts totaling $500M. That’s 1.2 Billion This is not hard earned wealth. This is an addiction. There will never be enough.

When you realize “giving tax cuts to very rich people and big corporations” is the only reason they are there it makes perfect sense.

A no brainer Aaron. Billionaires are also the biggest funders of GOP elections, ergo…

They are being brought. Campaign contributions = legal brides.

youtu.be/3x9jSF-ZvjY?...

And.... he's still voting yes. #fuckwad

The real problem with Republicans is the cruelty is always the point.

Because billionaires have bought Congress.

Because the money flows back to the politicians. Follow the money. Reverse Robinhood from the middle class taxpayers to the super rich donors then to the politicians

Let's stop calling them tax cuts. They're not tax cuts. They're theft!!! It's tax theft! That money is ours to support our mutual needs as a society. Not for Corporate Profit!!!!!

Yep! It started with Reagan. I made the mistake of not voting for Carter in that election because I thought, “Who would vote for a failed B-list actor for president?” I’ve never missed an election since. Unfortunately There’s been a lot of that kind of voting in the decades since culminating in FDT.

Fuck Ronald Reagan.

Lords and serfs 2025

Everything except the Military industrial complex. Food for women and children have never been a concren, but yet they get re-elected on lies. Red States will suffer the most. All states are targets.

It warms my heart to hear this from politicians not named Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren or AOC or a member of The Squad. We need more voices saying this. And I’m overjoyed this is happening.

Because Republicans are building them an oligarchy out of our former democracy. It's only about increasing their wealth and minority control. At all cost to the rest of us. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Yes the obsession is the false belief that the billionaires will share that wealth with THEM and the ignorance that taxing them even a little bit more will make that stop. They won’t; it won’t.

Oligarchs are the true "Entitlement-Hungry" greedy rats.

The real con is that they got people who these bills will harm, to support them lol

So someone coming on TV and stating facts is now breaking news? We have done this to ourselves.

They cater to the corporations because they contribute boatloads of money to their campaigns? I'm sure that as corrupt as this GOP is, there's a lot that's slid under the table, too. They're not going to bite the hand that feeds him. Their constituents don't really matter except for their vote.

The entire problem is rich folk don’t want to pay taxes because they’re cheap, afraid of losing a penny.

I love this guy putting his neck on the line saying the quiet parts out loud. More need to be like him

Also, you could remove enough of Bezos's wealth to create 250,000 millionaires and he would still be a billionaire.

Spot on. But what would be a great endorsement of the billionaires and oligarchs Patriotism is if they actually TURNED DOWN THE DAMN TAX CUTS AND COMMITTED to PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE OF TAXES. NOT MORE TAXES JUST THEIR GOD DAMN FAIR SHARE.

Dems lost because voters are idiots with the attention span of a wet napkin.

I find it sad that we use words like contribute to make it seem more palatable. I mean if We The People got paid GOSS without Taxes taken out It'd be a shit show for how the govt can even run. 3rd world countries make it work. That's what MAGAts wanted, hope they are happy w/ themselves.🦅❤️‍🔥✡️🌟🦁✝️☪️🗽🧲

If anything, if one has amassed that type of wealth, one should be treated as an active threat to humanity and the planet.

Yes, but how will they know who wins without more money?

#5CALLS IT’s EASY!! Call call call THE EVIL THAT MEN DO LIVES AFTER THEM” #RemovetRump WE MUST STOP trump! 86 47 What is your congressman doing? What are you doing? Phone calls@ #5CALLS everyday! Signup #mobilize.us #fiftyfifty.one #generalstrikesus.bsky.social #DontDefundPublicSchools

100% agree…if these greedy s o b’s paid their fair share humanity would be much further along in the 21st century. Tax them all and tax them hard…it should be in their interest to contribute fully to society.

The real problem is that they allow the ultra-rich to take everything they want from this country without contributing one thing to making it better

Because rich people cut checks to Congresspeople.

The real problem is the greedy motherfuckers do what billionaires pay them to do.

Yup…….until these MAGA folks see the light……billionaires are the socialist class……taking advantage of all the benefits the rest of us pay for

Yep ☎️202-224-3121 and tell senate to #VoteNo

It's insane to run a country this way.

Its insane that Republican voters allow them to get away with this but they have some cognitive dissonance where they cant understand that they vote against their best interest considering its Red States that will lose the most with Medicaid No cuts need to happen if there were zero tax cuts for 1%

Republicans and Christians have made a deal with the devil to get what they want, the price was our country and our constitution. They argue that the devil is just a vessel for god's will. Such morons shouldn't be in power. Religion will be the ruin of us all.

What Van Hollen says is true but not new. I'm as old as dirt, and it has always been that way. Why are we still talking about it instead of acting? It's because too many Democratic politicians go along with it. Money buys obedience.

GOP keeps trying to sell itself as the Party of the "working class", but continues to FAIL miserably! They're not the Party of "fiscal responsibility", "family values", "law & order", "limited government", or "compassionate conservatism" either. They ARE the Party of "make the rich richer" Resist!

Vote out any Representative or Senator that votes for the Big Buffoons Bill.

Who do you think gets them elected most of them couldn't get a real job so they go into politics cause it's easy money.

Check this out.

“Let’s tax billionaires & corporations” would have been a good campaign rally war cry instead of parading billionaires, celebrities & Liz Cheney around like show ponies.

And that’s both parties, just worse on the right.

And this is why they will be on the wrong side of history.

General Strike US @generalstrikeus.bsky.social A general strike is when working people refuse their labor until demands are met • Research shows 3.5% of the population is required, or 11 million Americans. Currently, over 357,000 have joined. General Strike US @generalstrikeus.bsky.social

Well, let's face it, poor people can't pay them off.

Trump has turned its back on the American people. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2025/06/the-...

Give generational wealth another, bigger tax break. The GOP doesn’t care about voters. It only cares about election financiers. It is the only thing that makes sense, when the bill will destroy and disable and harm Americans who don’t make $400,000 or more. 3/3

Because those millionaires and billionaires give THEM millions of dollars, they call it a donation but it’s actually a bribe.

The real problem is the media keeps calling the big beautiful bill! It's not! Repeating trumps fake branding reinforces his message. It is the big poison pill.

The felon made promises to billionaires in exchange for millions for his pocket. The promises will be repaid in this legislation and the ending of wind and solar power and a return to coal. This will be the legacy for all time.

Stop this budget bill CALL your senators You, your children, grandchildren, and your aging parents are depending on YOU @5calls.org

Obsession? No. It's corruption.

Billionaires are betting that their companies will do well in a shithole country.

No more corporate welfare!!

Those same companies are giving them six figure jobs when they leave Congress

Zuckerberg wigs out everytime the hint of a tax increase arrives. His empire is a couple solar flares or emps away from being extinct but he thinks he's all powerful.

#TaxTheRich

They’d rather have overly exorbitant bills for a wedding then to FEED CHILDREN or to stop feeding the WAR MACHINE

His Big Beautiful Betrayal Trump promised to not cut Medicaid. He lied. Everyone should feel betrayed. 12 million Americans will lose healthcare, So the GOP can help wealthy billionaires.

Because billionaires will fill the back pockets of those senators who give them tax cuts. It is a closed circuit of corruption.

And it is not like the oligarchs respect them for it.

Please dont walk us into the same mistakes as America, Mr. Carney @mark-carney.bsky.social

gee, I wonder why REPUBLICANS are obsessed with giving tax cuts to RICH PEOPLE and CORPORATIONS... "Local constituents shocked to discover Hamburglar obsessed with giving hamburgers to criminals in striped suits, flamenco hats"

Stealing from the poor to give to the rich. Thats this Trump regimes whole motto from this Big Bullshit Bill to his market manipulation that transferred $10+ Trillion from our 401Ks to the 1%'s pockets #RobberBarrons #ReverseRobinHood #CorruptGOP #StealFromPoorGiveToRich #BigBullshitBill #FuckTrump

They're bought and paid for.

Yes. It’s a myth that these are the job creators and the tax breaks trickle down from their break. They can create jobs anywhere in on the globe, so it no longer applies. They hoard their wealth now. It’s selfish. Who builds hospitals,Libraries,? They build rockets to show off.

45 million dollars we paid so Trump could have his Birthday parade could fund Medicad for 6000 people for a year or 15k children for year..feed 14m school children lunch or fund Veterans disability Imagine not revamping the White House, that money could provide mental health care..🤔

#taxbillionaires and #TaxTheRich and #MedicareForAll #VoteBlueToSaveAmerica #VoteBlueToSaveDemocracy

The obsession is grounded in the continued stuffing of their own pockets because big money owns the pols. Corrupt almost through and through.

Shit, billionaires need to pay upkeep for that which makes them billionaires. These ports and roads ain’t gonna fix themselves. The toiling masses can’t doctor their own wounds. Bunch of selfish ghouls. Why is this hard.

Why wouldn't billionaires want to contribute and pay back the country that gave them every leg up... every advantage? There is no such thing as a stand alone genius. Large scale success only comes with financial backing, support, and infrastructure. #welfarequeens

And it's money that will make no material difference in the lives of those billionaires! People don't realize HOW MUCH MORE a billion is than a million. THEY ALREADY HAVE more money than they can ever need.

An option for repubs to consider would be to reduce the tax break categories & not have to hurt so many people by losing their medical insurance. In the budget bill, a tax filer earning 1m, would get $90,000. in tax breaks every year. The repubs should drop tax cuts by 50%.

Obsession = $$$$😒

That was the agenda, break everything, steal everything. Here we are ...

#BillionaireBailoutBill

Social Security if gone, particularly if the Congress would stop borrowing and returning just the mere interest on funds used without balancing a budget. When will Congress repay billions in loans taken out but never repaid.

Eat the Rich!

TBH the prospect of MAGAts not having enough electricity to power their wifi, or run their meth labs, fills me with joy!

That's because billionaires contribute directly to them and their messiah. They pay a lot of money to get back more than they spend. Ask Elon.

He was willing to cut off trade talks with Canada to protect the oligarchs

Republicans all have their tongues wedged in trump’s big beautiful ass.
