Western Civilization didn't flourish because "white males" stopped other groups from succeeding. The West thrived because of rational thought, individual rights, and free enterprise. "White males" that invented the steam engine, electric generation, the combustion engine, flight, and space exploration did not do so because they "stole" the ideas of minorities. These inventions helped lift mankind out of ignorance and hardship, improving the quality of life for all of humanity. "White males" didn't oppress the entire world, they helped make it a better place. "White males" didn't oppress everyone's rights, they invented the idea of rights and paid in blood to liberate tens of millions of people. "White males" didn't invent slavery, they ended it. "White males" didn't invent tyranny, they devised a form of government to end it. Destroying Western Civilization isn't about empowering groups that were "oppressed." It is about tearing down civilization itself so that globalist parasites can rule over all of us.

Cut spending !

SEATTLE — A sense of frustration is growing among some of Washington state’s job creators. Business owners who have spent years building companies and hiring workers now feel betrayed by a new tax they believe punishes their success. Some of those entrepreneurs are now thinking about taking their businesses elsewhere. Jesse Proudman, a Seattle-based startup founder, said the new "millionaires tax" passed by the state Legislature in March is a breaking point. After nearly three decades in Washington state, Proudman is considering packing up and moving. The impetus for him is the new millionaires tax and what he sees as the worsening business climate it creates. “It starts with the fact that this tax is designed for everybody, and it’s labeled the millionaires tax to get it through and get it approved,” Proudman said. Proudman, founder and chief technology officer of Venice.ai, a privacy-focused generative artificial intelligence platform, said the policy shift has left him questioning whether his contributions as a job creator are still valued. Venice.ai employs 35 people, including six in Seattle, and focuses on consumers who want access to advanced AI tools while preserving their privacy. Proudman worries the millionaires tax could expand beyond its initial scope and disproportionately affect entrepreneurs. “By targeting that population of the state, you are targeting the most mobile people, and you’re building a revenue projection based on the reality that you’re thinking those people aren’t going to leave,” Proudman said. “Everybody I know that is in this income bracket, that has been entrepreneurial, that runs companies, they are all looking to move.” If high earners do leave, Proudman warned, it could create budget challenges for the state. “If you are building your budget based on revenue that you believe will come from this tax and the people you are taxing are no longer here, you have got to then plug that hole from somewhere else,” Proudman said. “That is where it is a slippery slope that I think everybody ends up being taxed.” Washington has long relied on sales and business taxes rather than an income tax, and the adoption of the 9.9% tax on income above $1 million marks a significant policy shift. Supporters said it will make the tax system more equitable and fund public services, while critics argue it could drive away wealth and investment. At a recent Seattle University forum, Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson dismissed concerns about an exodus of wealthy residents, saying such claims were “overblown” and adding, “if the ones that leave, like, bye,” which prompted laughter from the audience. Proudman said such displays by government officials reinforce his sense that entrepreneurs are increasingly unwelcome. “I have been out of state looking at other houses as well,” he said. “It’s just not a friendly jurisdiction to be in when you are villainized for being an entrepreneur here.” Proudman said he is exploring options in states including Texas, Nevada, Florida, and Tennessee, though California is not out of the question given that he feels it has “the best tech community in the world.” Despite his frustrations, Proudman said he has deep roots in Washington and is not ready to leave entirely. He has employed more than 100 people in Washington across his different companies. Proudman recalled a time when startups were widely celebrated in Washington. “You think about Amazon, you think about Boeing, you think about Starbucks. All of these phenomenal international companies started here,” Proudman said. “Somebody had to have that idea first, and they had to want to build the company in Washington.” Entrepreneurs who grow discouraged over what the state has to offer could have long-term consequences for job creation. “They are going to go find other places that want to celebrate entrepreneurship,” Proudman said. “When the big companies are not started here, the jobs don’t manifest here. It is a negative, downward spiral.” Proudman said he plans to remain engaged in efforts to challenge the tax but is preparing a contingency plan.

@bennyjohnson And could you point out the New England states of NM, HI and DE on a map please?

Republican voters make up 40% of New England. Democrats control the district lines. Result: 🔴 — 0 🔵 — 27

@TxYl2020 @RealRickRule Hard work, entrepreneurship and a little luck. All the same opportunities that the rest of the population has.

@RealRickRule The question is whether the political infrastructure systematically benefit the rich more than the poor. Why does the rich consistently earn a lot more than the poor? Neither the left or the right should ignore this.

simply true

@azothgold @RockChartrand What exists in the mainstream markets is not capitalism, its crony capitalism. The markets are so heavely influence by witch doctor economists manipulation of the currencies and interest rates, that the only free market today is the black market.

@RockChartrand Sorry, but until rigged markets are fixed, and financial leverage and rehypothecation are realistically addressed - 'capitalists' need to stop pretending socialism is evil wealth confiscation, instead of the natural response to parasitical economies.

The easiest way to test the claim that socialists are tired of subsidizing the rich is simple: Let’s get rid of taxes. You keep what you earn, and you personally fund whatever programs you believe in with your own money. If the problem is really ‘subsidizing others,’ that should be an easy yes. But it isn’t. Because the model isn’t about ending subsidies, it’s about controlling where everyone else’s money goes. And that’s the difference. Someone struggling but trying to build their life would take that deal and keep more of what they earn. A socialist wouldn’t. Because their demands depend on access to other people’s income.

@lordzpain7 @MrPitbull07 Without knowing details, i would take this info with a grain of salt. Easily could have been a gold digger with false accusations. Or he is a predator, not enough info hete to say either way.

@MrPitbull07 FUCK OFF PITTY read this If your worthless ass has to resign from your 1 person start up... you are not the good guy

Remember Dan Price...that CEO who took a pay cut so he could pay all his employees a minimum annual wage of $70,000? Here’s what happened next: “Six years later after the decision that others said would destroy his business, Dan reports that revenue has tripled, the customer base has doubled, 70% of his employees have paid down debt, many bought homes for the first time, 401(k) contributions grew by 155% and turnover dropped in half. His business is now a Harvard Business School case study.” In his own words: “6 years ago today I raised my company's min annual salary to $70k. Fox News called me a socialist whose employees would be on bread lines. Since then our revenue tripled, we're a Harvard Business School case study & our employees had a 10x boom in homes bought. Always invest in people.” Courtesy of Craig Henley

@honeymoon250 We deal with women that are mentally unstable due to periods, pregnancy, and menopause

Women deal with periods, pregnancy, menopause wtf do men really deal with ???

@lady_valor_07 In a nano second

You’re offered $4 million to uninstall Facebook from your phone forever. Would you do it?

@ewarren Instead of trying to steal other ppl money, why dont you do your actual job and balance the budget. Irresponsible spending by thje US goverment is tje main driver of inflation.

It's Tax Day in America. Reminder: The average taxpayer pays 13% of their income in taxes. The wealthiest 400 families in the U.S. pay just 8% of their income in taxes. It’s time to make the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share. It’s time to pass a wealth tax.

@AntiWokeMemes None of the above.

California's economy outperformed every state in the country in 2025: GDP of $4.25 TRILLION (up 5% from the year prior). Adding more to our economy than Texas, Florida, and New York. 16 years of straight growth. The "exodus" narrative is nowhere to be seen.

@benonwine Completely justified

Italian man racing to reach his pregnant wife is blocked by climate activists glued to the road. He pleads with them to move. They refuse. So he drives through. Was he justified — YES or NO?

@JossSheldon Taxing the rich hasen't worked in 5000 yrs. Why do you think it will now? Money flows to where it is treated best. Just ask CA and NY., WA soon to follow. There oppressive taxes for ppl out and the states tax bzding hzs shrunk considerably.

"Left-wingers want high taxes" Err, no... Left-wingers want to tax the rich. They want to redistribute that wealth to the masses, and invest in public services, to improve the lives of regular folk. Right-wingers want to tax the poor. They want to give your money to the rich.

@ChristianHeiens Good start. Keep going, and include fed. contractors and NGOs.

Since Trump took office, over 352,000 Federal employees have been fired, resigned, or retired and were not replaced. The Federal workforce is smaller today than at any point since 1966.

@nobleisawinner Go get your chastidy belt and hid in the closet. Go the fuck away already, your rediculous.
