Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.

I have been in rooms in Congress where the vote was already decided before anyone spoke.
Not because of the evidence. Not because of the constituent calls. Because of the money.
Insurance company money killed the public option. Pharmaceutical company money blocked drug price negotiations for years. Corporate landlord money has stalled every serious rent stabilization effort.
This is how the system works. And it is exactly why we have to change it. Dark money is corruption, and it has no place in our democracy.

Now listen, nobody is “vilifying” rich people. They are actual villains. If you run a billion dollar company, give yourself millions in dollars and benefits, but pay your individual workers less than a living wage and give them pathetic insurance, what are you if not a villain???

@billydjr @PatOksu02 @calisurfsup I’m not on medical assistance Billy. I have insurance and a co-pay. Maybe you should get insurance Billy.
English
@AndrewAzlan @PatOksu02 @calisurfsup No, my bill Andrew. I know it’s hard for you to comprehend people actually have to pay this out of pocket when you’re on medical assistance and get everything free.
English
I pay $1,138.00 per month for my wife and I with a $6,000. deductible each, $10,000 max out of pocket per year means we pay $23,000 before insurance kicks in.
This is not insurance. It's a rip off.

Ok. Take government completely out of healthcare. No rules. No laws. No Medicare. No Medicaid. Hospitals, insurance companies, can do anything they want. What do they do ? If you were running any of the biggest insurance companies or hospitals, what would you do differently once gov was completely out of healthcare ?

@realbenterrell You look like you’ve bren old enough to vote for the last 2 decades
English
@AndrewAzlan who voted for 4 decades to get us here? Boomers
Edgewater, FL 🇺🇸 English
Neither. Entitled boomers, already responsible for draining the public coffers for their free government benefits, just want more. They'll want more next year, too. The ones at the bottom of the income bracket that need the benefits SHOULD get them. The other half can pound sand.

Boomers: “Houses aren’t unaffordable. Stop eating out. Stop buying coffee. Learn to budget.” Also Boomers: “I can’t afford the property taxes on my fully paid off house.” Sir. You own the house free and clear. No mortgage. No interest. No lender. And the tax bill alone is breaking you. But you want me to believe the problem is my Chipotle order. The same system that’s pricing you out of a house you already own is the same system pricing us out of one we’re trying to buy. Maybe it was never about the avocado toast.

🚨 BREAKING: David Drucker confirms a massive political collapse for the White House.
He reveals traditional Republicans are completely abandoning Donald Trump because his disastrous economic policies totally failed to deliver. His fragile coalition is rapidly falling apart!
Furkan Gözükara@FurkanGozukara
🚨 BOMBSHELL: Susan Glasser completely destroys Trump's economic lies. She confirms he explicitly promised to lower prices. Yet his disastrous policies made everything significantly more expensive. Experts admit doing absolutely nothing would have been better!

@PramilaJayapal Stop government overspending. Investigate politicians and jail them. It’s that simple.
English
Tax the rich. Fund the people. It's that simple.

Boomers inherited the golden age.
Millennials inherited the bill.
Gen Z inherited the ashes.
We watched our parents work themselves into exhaustion, watched degrees become overpriced lottery tickets, watched housing become unattainable, and watched corporations treat people like disposable garbage.
That’s why Gen Z puts mental health, freedom, and experiences above blind loyalty to illogical employers.
Gen Z is the first generation that refuses to be controlled by societal garbage

@Aobius Her generation paid in to social security for 46 years.
English
Yes, ignorant c*nt. The world isn't what it was when you were young. We'd love if we got what you did as handouts. Your generation looted Social Security - I pay into it for YOU and will never see it.
Genuinely, off yourself
Cindy Young@CindyYoung456
Worked 46 years in a factory to pay my home off , no one gave me anything. I paid taxes worked hard and raised my children. Some people like me could not afford to contribute to a retirement account all I have is the SS I paid in and small pension from my employer. I make do with what I have but it’s not easy to come up with the property taxes every year to keep what I have.

@CWJediMaster @RoKhanna Illegal immigrants with criminal records. Try to get it right, it’s not that hard.
English
@RoKhanna Correct. Not only is it despicable behavior, but throwing immigrants under the bus distracts from the main objective of truth and justice.
Of course, the goal of the GOP is to distract and delay, so they don't face truth and justice, so they blame immigrants and trans people.
English
Voting for Laken Riley, which gave permission for Trump's mass deportation, is a disqualifying vote to lead our party.
As a son of immigrants, I have zero tolerance for throwing immigrants under the bus. thebulwark.com/p/ro-khanna-to…

Denigrating the taxpayers who fund your Social Security and Medicare as "spoiled brats" isn't a good look. We can just turn your welfare off and tell you to pay your property taxes on time or go homeless. Behave accordingly.
HollyCabot@HollyCabot
They are entitled brats whose parents failed them miserably. Unfortunately, the rest of society is stuck telling them NO like they are a bunch of two year olds

@Bev26603960 @detroitsux We are offering higher than market price. And we don’t want it THAT BAD. We’d rather her leave it to her own kids and grandkids. We’re just trying to save it if we can, but I’m not going to pay a bad deal
English
@raisinguptwins @detroitsux So why didn’t you just offer more?
English
@detroitsux My husband’s aunt is selling his grandpa’s land to a developer to try to get $100k more than what we offered her. We have 3 sons that could keep the land within the family for at least 2 more generations but that potential extra money is enticing I guess

@PaigeSully88 😂 the generation whose parents got them through that have it hard? 😂

Millennials are the most burdened generation in ages.
Two recessions
Housing collapse
9/11
Middle East wars
Record inflation
Flailing job market
“Required” college so student loans
Unaffordable housing
We need to elect millennials - they know the real struggles

A rocket built by the Jeff Bezos-owned space company
Blue Origin
blew up .
This’s how the Oligarchs chose to spend their trillions of dollars instead of spending on Schools, Hospitals, healthcare systems.
English
the hate for boomers is interesting
many of the haters are hardcore socialists
they're by far the worst. they're the ones i'm concerned will work out a way to legally genocide the elderly in a decade or two
the debate has demonstrated something about them that they didn't intend to display - they don't actually care about equity. they're just selfish.
they want to punish the boomers for their success. they don't want equal distribution of assets - they want to trade places.
the next time one of these kids is barking about how socialism makes everyone equal, bring up the boomer wealth thing and watch the contradictions start flowing like water
these people aren't principled. they're not altruistic. they're just greedy.

@AdamKinzinger Since you love Ukraine so much why don’t you go live there?

Here’s the deal for those confused: “America 250” is the bipartisan celebration committee. “Freedom 250” is a Trump organization celebrating him masquerading as a celebration of America. The concert was Freedom 250. Hence the cancellations

@mhdksafa You’ve never accomplished anything in your life and life off pity donations. STFU.

Elon Musk last week launched a massive rocket that detonated in the Indian Ocean.
Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin rocket exploded during a test last night.
Both cheered on this environmental destruction, calling it progress.
Billionaire avoid introspection. Without introspection, there is no capability of accountability. The definition of power, unchecked.
English
@NEETzscheIDDQD Millennials need to work harder to pay for homes and property taxes. Once those boomer houses churn, the tax rate is based on new sales values. So buy less lattes and make a PBJ sandwich and stop with the chipotle.
English
No, boomers need to downsize to pay their property taxes. And not even all of them, just the ones who didn't prepare for retirement properly. Stop being so entitled. The world owes you nothing.
Rob Boyd, Esq@AvonandsomerRob
Boomers don't need to downsize so you can buy a house working in Starbucks..

@NYCMayor @DMLeilaBozorg Where? You’re not building shit, your appropriating private property.

We're building 200,000 new affordable homes for New Yorkers. We're using every tool we have to fix our housing crisis.
Block by Block is the boldest housing plan our City has seen this century. It is what New Yorkers have been demanding for decades.

@AdamKwasman Property tax is a use tax and the issue is not the tax but the lack of government efficiency that allows those use taxes to rise indefinitely without and discernible increase in quality.
English
Property taxes are unrealized capital gains. It’s a wealth tax. They hurt seniors and those on fixed incomes the most. There are those who think that it’s good public policy to get seniors out of their family homes in order to “churn the market,” and make room for new home buyers. Those who advocate such a position place less importance on private property rights, and family stability.

Someone is going to have to explain to me one day this odd fixation with ending property taxes after the bank note is paid off as if it were some sort of sales tax.
