@GunnelsWarren You do realize that net worth and annual income are NOT the same thing. . .right? 🤔🤷♂️🤦♂️. Who am I kidding, of course you don’t, you are just that stupid and/or disingenuous

No. When Jeff Bezos pays a lower tax rate than a truck driver, the tax code is not progressive. It's rigged.
Jeff Bezos
Worth: $279 billion
Tax Rate: 0.98%
Truck Driver
Income: $63,890
Tax Rate 8.4%
Teacher
Income: $69,860
Tax Rate: 9.8%
Nurse
Income: $98,430
Tax Rate: 13.3%
Jeff Bezos@JeffBezos
Yes, the United States has the most progressive tax system in the world. The top 1% pay 40% of taxes, the bottom 50% pay 3% of taxes. We can make it even more progressive by zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. It’s a small amount of the total tax revenue but very meaningful to people in this group.
English
@GunnelsWarren Wow, you are a special kind of stupid. This “thought process” assumes Bezos keeps $14B in cash on hand, because if he had to liquidate stock options to cover that bill then that moves the market in a way that adversely impacts the very people you claim to want to help
English
Bernie's 5% wealth tax would:
-Raise starting teacher pay to $60,000
-Give $12,000 to a working family of 4
-Expand Medicare for dental, vision, hearing
-Guarantee universal childcare
-End homelessness
Bezos would see his wealth drop from $279 billion to $265 billion. Poor guy.

Jeff Bezos on CNBC: "If people want me to pay more billions, then let's have that debate, but don't pretend that that's gonna solve the problem. You could double the taxes I pay, and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens.... Airbnb isn't causing high rents. What's really causing high rent is government intervention."

@AriWasserman But it does make the possibility of that outcome WAY more probable 🤷♂️

Just because a judge has a degree from the school doesn't mean he wants to jeopardize his professional resume to help that school be good at football.

@miles_commodore While you’re 100% on the right track, I think you know throw in some more useless buzz words/phrases to better stand out.

Climate change is causing a rise in white supremacy and keeping the rich from paying their fair share which hurts our Democracy. It’s all Trumps fault.
Oh don’t mind me, I’m just practicing the script if I ever decide to run as a Democrat.

@Johnny_photog @meamwayne @CherylHoste @the_jefferymead @JaeHasABlackJob You truly are a special kind of stupid. Time to carry on with productive things
English
@BigDevil04 @meamwayne @CherylHoste @the_jefferymead @JaeHasABlackJob Or, you are racist, hate that part about yourself and would rather ignore it than acknowledge it
English
@Johnny_photog @meamwayne @CherylHoste @the_jefferymead @JaeHasABlackJob You’re clearly beyond help and will always bend anything in any way you can to make something racist.
English
@BigDevil04 @meamwayne @CherylHoste @the_jefferymead @JaeHasABlackJob You don’t see how that’s racist!
English
@aintscarylarry @GhostInTheMac18 @JPratique Yeah, still didn’t happen. You truly are a special kind of stupid
English
@GhostInTheMac18 @JPratique Ok they were killed BECAUSE OF January 6. That make you feel better, dipshit?
English
trump says his January 6 terrorists must be compensated because their families were destroyed. Oh really? The families of the cops they killed would like a word. All you MAGA fucks can shut the fuck up about “law and order” and “backing the blue” forever.

@Johnny_photog @CherylHoste @the_jefferymead @JaeHasABlackJob You’re clearly incapable of any level of critical thinking, so I had to simplify it for you. . .you’re welcome!
English
@BigDevil04 @CherylHoste @the_jefferymead @JaeHasABlackJob And if all you have is canned responses, you never have to think for yourself. Do you puppet?
English
@meamwayne @Johnny_photog @CherylHoste @the_jefferymead @JaeHasABlackJob 🤦♂️ if your simple mind always defaults to racism, any perceived slight is always going to look like something racist.
English
@BigDevil04 @Johnny_photog @CherylHoste @the_jefferymead @JaeHasABlackJob It's supposed to be, "to a hammer." Everybody who actually uses a hammer as a tool is careful because it had no preference between carpentry nails and the kind on your finger.

@NYCMayor Each store is slated to cost about $30M to build (could go over budget) whereas Aldi builds them for $10M. Government efficiency shining through! Ha

In the richest city in the richest country in the history of the world, nobody should be going hungry.
That's why we're opening five city-owned grocery stores, one in each borough, starting with The Bronx.
Lower Prices. Good food. Publicly owned.
Hunts Point next year. Every borough by 2029.
English
@Johnny_photog @CherylHoste @the_jefferymead @JaeHasABlackJob If the only tool you have is a hammer, I guess everything has to look like a nail 🤷♂️
English
@CherylHoste @the_jefferymead @JaeHasABlackJob Oh I comprehend completely. We were talking about black doctors and Jefferey goes right to competency. I comprehend that as racist.
English
@YourAnonNews Dumb people fall for this because they conflate liquid cash with net worth. Just because someone is worth a billion or more, does not necessarily mean they have a billion in cash. The sell off this would trigger would be catastrophic, and these policies are based in envy

@LePapillonBlu2 Please take one look at the mental illness diagnoses amongst liberal women and try this again. Who would have guessed that to be the case with all the crazy colored hair, facial piercings, and morbid obesity that runs rampant within that group 🤷♂️

If you want to balance the budget, elect a Democrat.
Democrats Deliver@DemzDeliver
🚨 NEW: Governor Newsom has officially eliminated California’s structural deficit.

Good ol’ boy” doesn’t mean “sit quietly and agree with you.”
I can hunt, fish, say “y’all,” eat biscuits and gravy, and think people shouldn’t lose their house because they got cancer.
The fact that basic empathy confuses people this much says more about politics online than it does about me.
English
@BigDevil04 @ThatMattBarber @_sn_n Right. But you’re the one saying 2+2=5. Lmao. A person truly in the position of seeing someone be ridiculous wouldn’t bother saying what you said.
English
crazy how by simply electing Democrats your lives improve

🚨 Under Gov. Whitmer, all Michigan students now receive free breakfast and lunch at school. This saves working families nearly $1,000 a year on average.

@ManofTungsten99 @ThatMattBarber @_sn_n Now I know why Keanu Reeves says if someone were to tell him 2+2=5 he will just nod and say “sure”
English
@BigDevil04 @ThatMattBarber @_sn_n Yep.. it actually had more to do with The Iraq war (started by bush) , and also predatory mortgages, where they start with low rates then skyrocketed (basically ensuring borrower is in debt for life)
English
@ManofTungsten99 @ThatMattBarber @_sn_n Yeah, the 2008 crash had absolutely nothing with banks being incentivized to make shitty loans to people with highly questionable background by the 1997 Fair Housing Act. . .🙄
