They're so close to realizing taxing the rich is a grift, but yet they keep ignoring the obvious. Tax incidence
This is capitalist propaganda. Billionaires don't care about employees; they care about profits. Which is why they are far more likely to use cash on hand to buy back stock than hire more employees or give the employees already there a raise. This is just "Trickle Down Economics" in corporate drag.
Me when I commit a no true scotsman fallacy and say "THIS ISN'T TRUE COMMUNISM!"
People need to Google what communism actually is. Trump and Republicans keep trying to convince us that Democrats are the communists while hoping we ignore what they’re actually doing. One of the biggest examples: the federal government under Trump taking equity stakes in private companies. 1/2
Talk about a false Dichotomy.
We are being reminded that a fundamental issue of our day isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.” It’s who our government actually works for. Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires? Or should it work for the rest of us?
Me when I try to compare apples to oranges
Wildfires in Canada have worsened over the years as climate change causes higher temperatures and uneven rainfall. Now, 100 million people are under air quality alerts due to the wildfires’ smoke. Remember: your tax dollars are subsidizing Big Oil’s ability to pollute our planet.
Honestly, Trump wanting to shut down the government is a huge W.
Trump wants to shut down the government in September to force Senate Republicans to pass the SAVE Act, rig the midterm elections, and disenfranchise millions of American citizens. If the government shuts down in September, remember one man was cheerleading for that outcome all along: Donald Trump.
Now all of you know how I, among most others feel about taxation.
THE PUBLIC SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY THE ELECTRIC BILL FOR FUCKING DATA CENTERS! Ohio is so fucked right now making us pay the electric bill for these centers. You can drive though many parts and see people with "no data centers" signs in their yards. We shouldn't have our bill increased. Fuck them
