@XennialRick @WalterHudson Those with both the means and mobility have been and will continue to vote with their feet . Those whom cannot will be left to pay for the big government being created. It took only 40 years for Detroit to slide from the wealthiest city in America per capita into bankruptcy.

It's astounding watching a colleague go to war against his district's largest and most prominent employer. Of course, Mayo is also a marquee employer for the state, region, and entire nation. It's a bold move, Cotton.

@AndySmithMN It's both apparent and obvious that your public statement negates your solemn oath upon taking office to uphold and defend the constitution of the United States. You have violated that oath and should resign.

@RBReich The quickest way to destroy America is to continue the deficits until the U.S. dollar becomes so worthless that the dollar loses its status as the reserve currency of the world. In that event, we can't print money any longer to pay a balance of trade, and everyone will be broke.

@RBReich Deficit spending from a thriftless Congress has caused the bludgeoning National Debt both spending and tax expenditures. Wouldn't we all do the same if we had credit cards with no limits or obligations to pay it back? We need a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

The Bush tax cuts, their extensions, and the Trump tax cuts have added an estimated $10 trillion to the national debt since their enactment. Just imagine the good we could have done with that money if it hadn't been gifted to corporations and the wealthy.

@RBReich Be honest! 48% of all U.S. taxpayers have no federal or state income liability, many of which receive Working Family Credit, Earned Income Credit or other subsidies. The top 5% already pay more than 30% of all federal income tax receipts. You contempt for success is relentless!

By the way, a tax of up to 5% on the world’s multi-millionaires and billionaires could raise $1.7 trillion/year. That would be enough to lift 2 billion people out of poverty and fund a global plan to end hunger. We can't afford NOT to tax the rich.

@DavidStrom At Home Depot in MG, an entitled patron pretended to use the self-checkout and walked out the door with a $400.00 item. Personnel were notified but did nothing. Without a civil, ordered, and law-abiding society, we all pay for these failed woke non-confrontational policies.

@RBReich Your incessant angst against wealth is astonishing. Especially those who appear to have a departure from your self-proclaimed far lefty political ideology. Be honest with everyone. You're a socialist with immense greed believing wealth needs to be confiscated for redistribution

When billionaires take control of vital communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy. And when those billionaires justify their business motives by citing “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability. Don't be fooled.

@GovTimWalz Democrats care so much about childcare that they overregulated those providers out of business, tried to unionize any provider that received CCAP dollars, and created a statewide shortage of providers limiting parents access to gainful employment. Intervention is the problem.

@bloisolson @GovTimWalz @DeRushaJ The interview would be a waste of time, since Walz has crafted the art of being a bloviating pontificator. As him a question and he will give you a twenty minute answer and then you're out of time.

I'd note that @GovTimWalz has declined to come on #SundayTake since last May. I renewed my request this week - a long form 45 minute interview. Yet as @DeRushaJ notes - he did an interview about cinnamon rolls + chili. His comms team should give up the bubble wrap addiction.

My interview request said "I completely understand if you're too busy to entertain me here," yet the governor still called racketmn.com/chili-cinnamon…

@RobynWinsEnnit @ChristianMalaza @RBReich Wrong! That changed when Democrat Jimmy Carter was at the helm. Double digit inflation for four years priced the middle class out of most everything. Same thing is happening today. What incentive remains to save for the future when your money keeps losing buying power?

@ChristianMalaza @RBReich After the world wars, the U.S. & CDA had these amazing corporate tax rates. Those funds created abundant infrastructure & public services. Ppl made enough of a living they could afford to buy a home on 1 salary. That changed when Reagan was voted in. "Trickle Down" was introed/2

Billionaires lost $1.9 trillion in 2022. Elon Musk lost $115 billion. Jeff Bezos lost $80 billion. Mark Zuckerberg lost $78 billion. Say it with me, they can afford a wealth tax.

@RepAngieCraig @RepAngieCraig please tell the whole story. Delivery drivers are using their own vehicles and fuel to provide a service for pizza delivery. Unlike the public school employees, they do not receive health insurance or contributions to a public service pension.

In Hastings, Dominos is hiring delivery drivers starting at $20-$23/hour. But food service workers at Hastings Public Schools are being met with resistance for demanding an increase to their $13.85/hour starting pay. They deserve better.

Only Congress can pass, and POTUS sign into law a bill canceling student debt. POTUS is NOT King! Continually ceding Power to the Executive Branch erodes our Republic "for which it stands" into a Monarchy & Dictatorship. Cancel all other private contracts while you're at it, too.

@RepAdamSchiff Only fools can believe your argument. Student debt is a choice which preceded the pandemic. Businesses were shut down by Executive Orders and Emergency Powers by no choice of their own. Those who refused to comply were jailed. Congress passed, and POTUS signed into law. NO KING!

Student debt can be crippling. Burdening young people for decades and limiting their career options. Nevertheless, Republicans are going all the way to the Supreme Court to stop student debt relief. They were happy to forgive business debt. But students? Not so much.

@dbongino The leftist rant on student's debts only purpose is to gather a broader constituent base of support and votes. They obfuscate the issue, claiming POTUS canceling debt is just. Only Congress can pass a bill that POTUS can sign into law canceling student debt. @Potus is not King.

@Ilhan @POTUS Does @POTUS have the right to cancel mortgage debt for millions of Americans? NO Is it just to cancel debt for millions of Americans shackled with tax debt and tax liens? NO Is it just to cancel installment debt for all automobile owners? NO Only fools can believe your arguments!

Does @POTUS have the legal right to cancel student debt? YES. Is it just to cancel student debt for the millions of people shackled with student debt? YES. Is it just to look at student debt through a racial justice lens? YES. Cancelling student debt is legal and just.

@jeremymunson Another example of Democrat abuse designed to use the public treasury, as a publicly subsidized campaign account, disingenuously offering loan forgiveness as a promise for the exclusive pupose of merely securing a broader base of constituent support during an election cycle.

If you support student loan "forgiveness" do you also support car loan forgiveness? If not, what's the difference (aside from a legal ability for the POTUS to force all taxpayers to be co-signers on your car loan).

@KSTP Seriously? In a post-pandemic era you've proved that doing business in many instances other than in person is possible. How about they come to Minnesota? With a nearly 20 billion dollar surplus, it appears it's now OK to take a taxpayer funded vacation. Another wasteful decision!
