The highest rate of growth in the history of the US economy occurred when the US had its highest tax rate on the wealthy. The reason you didn’t know that is because of propaganda.
Tony Annett@tonyannett
During the 30 golden years, the American top income tax rate varied from 70% to 94%.

@stfu_jaden_ Not if you’re a taxpayer. Especially not if you’re a taxpayer who lives near the cities. Hellhole.

minnesota is literally objectively the best place to live in america outside of the northeast or northwest
id argue it's even better than the northeast

Minnesota is a problem. Let’s talk about it. When people think of Minnesota they probably think of the great film FARGO in which the average resident is portrayed as either a low class low IQ drunk or a serial killer. You know what? Fargo was being NICE. The real Minnesota is far worse. It was worse back then and it’s WAY worse now.

@mark_slapinski @JamesTate121 Don’t pay taxes or health insurance and just use the extra cash to pay medical bills. They give you a huge discount if you do that.
English
People say Canadian healthcare is not free, because we pay taxes for it.
But in America, people pay taxes and still have to pay for healthcare out of their pockets.
And if they are broke, the hospital tells them to go die.

@NortonMpls You have no clue how good the cities were before liberals ruined them.

This is my experience as a Minneapolis transplant as well.
There’s really no place in the country like Minneapolis, and once people get here they never want to leave.
Sean Sweeney@seandsweeney
The one interesting thing I’ve learned living in Minneapolis is it’s hard to get people to move here, but when they do, they never leave.

You’ve seen too much TV. You think every homeless guy is a good person who’s being pushed down by “the system”. In reality most of the homeless are drug addicted psychos who would stab a woman for 10 bucks. You think illegal immigrants are just hard working families when in reality most of them are military aged men who left their home because they were criminals or total dejects who plan to live off the system.

It’s crazy how right-wingers genuinely believe the big bad guys in society are refugees and poor people.
Hard to think of a less Christ like ideology than the one these people have.
Wall Street Mav@WallStreetMav
Maturing is realizing that we are all sIaves to the bottom 20 percent of society, far more than we are to the top 1 percent.

@yhdistyminen Forever grateful for non Minnesotans telling us about Minnesotan values. Especially when that’s importing millions of illegal immigrants and Somalians who steal from sick children.
English
They have to pretend the anti-ICE activism was done by blue-haired themby tankies because the truth—99% of it was Lutheran housewives and retired schoolteachers upholding traditional Minnesotan values—is inconvenient to their worldview
Jarvis@jarvis_best
Minnesota used to be populated with kindly Norwegian Lutherans. Sure they were a bit naive and lefty, but they were mostly harmless. That’s all gone now. There’s no more Lutherans. Minnesota is now cynical tankie Communists pining for Stalin and Somalian pirates. That’s it. That’s all there is.

America has one (1) state approaching European levels of civilization outside of the PNW and Northeast and they desperately want to destroy it

Since the '92 election Dems have left on maybe 1 issue: Gay rights. Maybe crime - but not much. Clinton was for affirmative action and universal health care. He raised taxes on the right as well.
People repeat this shit that is largely nonsense.

Long term the Democrats are completely fucked. They keep moving left and 60% of American voters already think the Democrats are too liberal. The party is overwhelmingly hated and it will get worse The Democrats are only able to compete because Donald Trump is still alive

@Phocion @SwannMarcus89 what if I told you that "cultural issues" are not really what people vote on?

@pxielovee This is the one hundred millionth liberal account I’ve seen that does not understand fundamental market mechanics
English
This is the second Republican account I’ve seen complaining about insurance and hospital bills and its so confusing… you guys literally VOTED for this.
That’s what your party does!!!Defend health insurance CEO’s and yell socialism whenever someone tries to change the system!!!
Libs of TikTok@libsoftiktok
Last week I randomly got a $9,000 bill for a hospital visit from last year. I called them up and they said my insurance decided not to cover it. Why? Because. .@Aetna can just decide they’re not interested in covering something and then you’re left with an inflated bill to pay out of pocket after the fact. This is in addition to a $2,000 bill that I already paid. They just don’t want to cover it despite me paying a monthly premium. Meanwhile illegals get free healthcare. Honestly fuck you @Aetna. I’m gonna do everything I can to destroy you.

@TheRealJChubby Most the debt is coming from entitlement programs, that’s about 60% of our spending.
English
This shit is fake anyway but the vast majority of the debt is corporate grift and the military industrial complex but nobody who pretends to care about it uses it to argue for cuts to those things just to beat down poor people.

@I_am_Superbro @SaltyGoat17 MN NOWs approval rating was so bad they had to change their name
English
@SaltyGoat17 You MAGA dipsh'ts are the dumbest muthaf'ckers on the planet. You honestly think that because someone lives in a red district they automatically vote Republican. Literally almost 70% of Americans hate Trump's guts and especially Independents. Blue Tsunami is still incoming🌊🌊🌊

@RepCDMenefee The gas tax is proportional to how much wear and tear you put on the road. That’s fair. No such thing as a free lunch.
English
Same reason we pay for roads that only some of us drive on, schools only some of us attend, and hospitals only some of us are treated at.
Because our society is better when no one is left to starve to death.
Steve Ferguson@lsferguson
Why should taxpayers be paying for other people's food?

@blkprofcct Blacks vote blue 85% of the time I don’t wanna hear about what’s fair. Glad we desegregated voting.
English
This attitude is far too common & misses the point. If a state w/10 districts is ~33% Black than Black voters should chose reps in three districts. Anything less is undemocratic.
That states with the largest Black populations are working against this is racist & authoritarian.
causeFckEm@tardergrade
@blkprofcct So one third of these states gets to tell the other 2/3s what to do?
