@brew56200 @katie11281979 @RockChartrand That’s not an argument or a rebuttal. Hell, Robinson doesn’t even rebut anything Sowell says with any sort of empirical facts. It’s just vapid critique quoting another vapid critique. “This guy says stuff that I disagree with so he’s wrong.” That’s how intellectually empty it is.

@katie11281979 @MathewCarson11 @RockChartrand Take anything Sowell says with a grain of salt

Socialism is the art of transferring your debts, responsibilities, and accountability onto someone else, then resenting the very people forced to carry the bill.

@brew56200 @katie11281979 @RockChartrand Are all your responses propaganda posters? Do you do any of your own thinking?

@katie11281979 @MathewCarson11 @RockChartrand And then they condemn me to death by deprivation

@katie11281979 @brew56200 @RockChartrand It’s the height of his intellectual capacity.

@brew56200 @MathewCarson11 @RockChartrand Love how you repost the same nonsense in response to an intelligent response to your nonsense irrational response lol

@FischerKing64 @colorblindk1d Oh, I was about to lose my shit there for a second. 😂

This doesn’t go nearly far enough. Seniors shouldn’t pay any taxes at all. No income tax, no sales tax - nothing. And to thank them for the great fiscal situation of the USA today, college students should take on additional loans to fund cruise vacations for all seniors.

@brew56200 @katie11281979 @RockChartrand I mean, do you think about this drivel before you type it? You’re saying it is unfair that you have to work in order for your needs to be met. What are you, 6 years old?

@brew56200 @katie11281979 @RockChartrand No one is coercing you to work except you. You deny your own agency to spout that nonsense. I’m so sorry you have to contribute to your own survival instead of forcing the rest of us to pay for it. Nature is coercive, not your boss.

@brew56200 @katie11281979 @RockChartrand Your response equates economic literacy with obedience. It’s pure fallacy and relies on emotional and motivated reasoning. It’s the response of someone who doesn’t think for themselves. Oh, the irony.

@CliffW08950229 Five privately owned grocery stores could be built for a fraction of the cost. He’s literally fleecing the taxpayers to run businesses out of the city. I hope you idiots get exactly what you voted for.

The man’s on a mission. And it’s a good one.

@TylerJamesNS @mehdirhasan That doesn’t make it its opposite.

@MathewCarson11 @mehdirhasan Fascism was founded on anti Socialism. Its good to read the Fascist works.

A reminder that no serious historian, academic or anyone who has spent even minutes looking at Nazi Germany agrees with this. Hitler locked up the left, denounced the left. He was not a 'hardcore socialist.' The only people who say this are... Nazi sympathizers & the far right.

@mehdirhasan Fascism is not socialism, but they have far more in common than either of them do with free-market capitalist, rights-based, republican government.

@mehdirhasan This is just not a factual statement. Mussolini was a socialist before he was a fascist. Fascism was not a complete reworking of socialism, but a modification of it. Socialism and fascism are both collectivist, authoritarian, statist, and centrally planned ideologies.

@Xvotesays @esaagar Current seniors are the wealthiest group of people in the history of the world, bud. Why should younger working people have to pick up the tab even more for them than they already do?

@esaagar By the time I’m 65 I’ll have paid property tax for 40 years. Absolutely f’n right to stop the madness. Old people have n a fixed income have already paid enough!

Unreal: South Carolina already has a homestead exemption of 50k in value for seniors ONLY This woman wants to zero property tax for seniors pushing the entire burden of services on those below 65 SICKENING

@RepThomasMassie @TrumpDailyPosts @julie_pipk71617 None of these. Economic illiteracy is the biggest threat to liberty in America.

@TrumpDailyPosts @julie_pipk71617 What’s the greatest threat to liberty in America?

What is the greatest threat to liberty in America?

@TyJay2022 @corgilove2020 @ChrisMartzWX @Eventzon Really? Why is Beyoncé a billionaire, then? How about LeBron James? Michael Jordan? Taylor Swift? Tom Steyer? Oprah? Tyler Perry? Should I keep going?

@corgilove2020 @ChrisMartzWX @Eventzon If you really think you can just create a popular product and be as rich as Elon Musk, you're lying to yourself. It's not possible. You only get that disgustingly rich through exploitation, lobbying, bribes, insider trading, etc.

These rankings are awful. Tell me you know nothing about U.S. history without telling me you know nothing about U.S. history. The FDR worship is pure brainwashing from public school. • He was effectively a socialist. • He gets too much credit for getting us out of the Great Depression. Arguably, his polices made it worse; the war is what got the economy booming. • FDR is the father of our modern senior welfare state since he signed the Social Security Act of 1935 into law. It is now an unsustainable Ponzi scheme that hurts young working class people. • His New Deal turned the U.S. federal government into a permanent jobs program, making it the largest employer. His policies are largely what has led to inefficient and bloated bureaucracy. • The FDR administration confiscated people’s gold. • He ordered Japanese Americans into internment camps. • And, he attempted, albeit failed to pack the Supreme Court when he didn’t get his way. Moving on. . . John Adams was an instrumental founding father, but he was not a great president. He had his critics arrested with the Alien and Sedition Acts, which outlawed criticism of his policies. He was a highly tempered man that had a very chaotic management style. The only good to come out of his presidency was the Treaty of Mortefontaine, which ended the Quasi-War in 1800. Abraham Lincoln also violated the First Amendment by suspending the writ of habeas corpus. He was a decent President, especially since he oversaw the end of slavery, but that wasn’t his original goal at the start of his first term, which was to preserve the union, even if it meant that slaves weren’t freed. The rest of the “hall of famer” column isn’t bad, but James Madison didn’t really do much good or bad. His leadership during the War of 1812 was good; he was the last sitting President to face combat firsthand. But he didn’t manage it well; we had a lot of losses. The true hero of that war was Andrew Jackson at the Battle of New Orleans. Don’t even get me started on the rest of the list…

@NancyMace If you want to target property tax relief to a specific cohort of low income seniors, an argument can be made for that, but we are already transferring vast amounts of wealth from younger workers to seniors. Enough already! GFY!

@NancyMace Why would you give a tax break to the wealthiest group of people in the history of the world? Why would you make younger generation pick up even more of the tab for the wealthiest generation in the history of the world?

Our seniors should not pay property taxes.

@NataniaMarshall Ummm… $80,000 in 1995 is only worth $174,000 today.

If your parents made $80k in the 90s, you’d have to make $260k in 2026 to have the same life. $260k is the new $80k

@CSOonX @BrooksAustinBA No, It’s Texas, and it’s not particularly close. ND fans are tolerable, Longhorn fans are not.

@BrooksAustinBA The correct answer is Notre Dame. The New York Yankees of college football.

Who's the most hated team in CFB? 🏈

@BrooksAustinBA @CSOonX Texas, and they 100% deserve it. No one has done less with more like Texas and believes they are still the most amazing program ever. They’ve ended two conferences and hamstrung a third. I can’t wait for them to wreck the SEC too.

@Martin_Marinero @CharlotteAlter If Truth ever rose against Christ, then he is not Christ. How could it be possible for Christ and Truth to be incongruent? 🤷🏼‍♂️

@CharlotteAlter Should Truth ever rise against Christ, I would choose to stand with Christ against the Truth, rather than with the Truth against Christ.

The Pope's humanist manifesto does something really interesting; not only does he call for new regulations and guardrails, but he also calls out what he describes as the "anti-human vision" pervasive in the tech world. Human limitations, he argues, are not bugs in our code to be fixed or optimized. They're at the core of love, wonder, community, the shared vulnerability of being human. charlottealter.substack.com/p/the-pope-is-…
