Don’t forget what they did to us. I stood alone in the House of Representatives against this.

@ComicDaveSmith By and large, the Libertarian Party (especially the NH version) has become an embarrassing disgrace to libertarianism

Let in where? New Hampshire or your studio apartment? You have about as much control over who enters NH as libertarians have over the federal government. Stop playing make believe like a little boy.

@BasedMikeLee According to the latest IRS data (tax year 2022), the top 1% of taxpayers paid 40.4% of all federal individual income taxes. The top 10% paid 72.0%. The bottom 50% paid just 3.0%.

Great questions. These companies paid billions in payroll, sales, property, excise & state taxes (e.g., Tesla: $1.2B global cash taxes in 2025, hundreds of millions in the US). They employ over 1M people, generate ~$500B+ annual revenue driving GDP growth, and support major philanthropy (Disney education initiatives, Tesla foundations, CVS health programs, 3M innovation grants). Federal income tax is one metric—broader contributions matter too.

The per capita tax burden in the United States is ~$16,600 Eliminate all social welfare and it falls to ~$3,500 The primary purpose of the United States government is violent wealth redistribution

#NotSatire A Pakistani woman, Shabana Mahmood, has stripped a native British man of his British citizenship. First time in British history. Mark Bullen lives in St. Petersburg with his Russian wife and works for FC Zenit Saint Petersburg. He was a British cop for 11 years.

1900-1929, when labor unions were a small % of the work force: Average workweek fell from 58.5 hrs to 48.7; inflation-adjusted wages jumped by 2/3rds.-THE AMERICANS: An Economic Record, Econ Prof Stanley Lebergott.

What definition for "socialism" are we using here? Because in China the private sector generates the majority of the GDP, the majority of employment, most new jobs; private companies vastly outnumber government-owned ones; profit motives, wage labor, competition, and capital accumulation drive most economic activity; a class of billionaires exists; inequality is very high, America is only ~15% more unequal than China; the US uses taxes and social transfers to reduce inequality by about 19%, China only does so by about 4%; there is no broad worker ownership over the means of production; profits from state companies do not directly flow to citizens as social dividends; markets largely determine prices, allocation, and incentives and not central socialist planning. So it seems more like highly regulated state capitalism with many nationalized businesses, especially since the means of production are mostly privately owned. And even if we said modern China was socialist, where is this supposedly superior quality of life? Human Development Index: US 0.938; Taiwan 0.934; China 0.797 Numbeo Quality of Life Index: US 186 (top 15-20 range); Taiwan 155.5 (38th); China 135 (around 50th-60th) World Happiness Report: US is 24th; Taiwan is 27th; China is 68th. Lastly, I have to point out that China used to be governed under strict socialist principles, which coincided with many tens of millions dying of starvation. Only now that actual socialism (worker ownership of means of production, etc.) has been abandoned is the average Chinese person starting to come closer to Western countries in quality of life. China is no longer called a socialist economy by economists, instead they describe it as state capitalism, party-state capitalism, or an authoritarian market economy with significant state intervention, specifically because private ownership and capital accumulation dominate. So, the rapid improvements people like you take credit for are literally the direct result of China fundamentally abandoning the very thing you advocate for, while only retaining small aspects of it. Still it is a country governed by a brutal dictatorship, engaging in an active genocide against an ethnic minority, with no human rights of any kind, and a quality of life significantly below the US and the capitalist equivalent Taiwan, which it is currently preparing to commit a gigantic act of imperialist aggression against.

@jacket80169 @SkinnyBrallan @SenRandPaul Do your research before you reply.

Sounds like a horror film. Socialism poisons everything it touches.

@robertsepehr @Luv_Xcuses Clearly not true, Europeans are way more concerned with being perceived as morally virtuous

Be brutally honest, what's one thing Americans are simply better at than the rest of the world??

@Real___iTamara I know thinking is hard, sweetie. I feel bad for you.

What if Hitler was a hero and everyone lied?

@SkinnyBrallan @SenRandPaul Can you name a single socialist country where the average person was more prosperous than the average person in the US was at the same time?

@SenRandPaul You poor thing. The sheer terror of anyone but the rich prospering in our Country must scare you to death. 😱

Look at the comments. The MAGA cultist retards are losing face.

Antiracism in action: > People do bad stuff > Efforts are made to stop that bad stuff > Those efforts involve identifying the people who do bad stuff > But those identified people are virtually all black and brown > Therefore the efforts are racist and must stop

@martyintexas1 My loyalty is to the Constitution and to the people I represent, not to a President nor to a Party. That’s how our Founders expected our Republic to work.

Impeach this orange nіggеr, now.
