Washington politicians are leaving taxpayers on the hook for a skyrocketing national debt. For every tax dollar collected, this Administration spends $1.33. Trump's tax cuts for billionaires and reckless wars are going to hurt this generation and the next.

@CaptMarkKelly How much did the affordable care act add to that?

@Tori_TLCR Every bit of everything you listed out is the result of people like you saying everyone deserves…..therefore the govt loans out endless fiat. This is the driving reason for inflation. People buying things with money they otherwise wouldn’t have had with out dem socialism.
English
Capitalism, not socialism is why things are broken.

@Tori_TLCR Grocery stores profit on average 1-3%. Regulatory capture, govt covid shutdowns, and climate change legislation have significantly increased the cost of goods sold.
English
@Tori_TLCR College tuition and govt backed loans have direct correlation and causation to increased tuition because you retads didn’t put price controls on publicly funded universities.
English
@Tori_TLCR There is no climate emergency. Stealing wealth from capitalists and giving it to cabals of govt leaders won’t fix a fucking thing.
English
@Tori_TLCR Govt spending is not capitalism. Govt spending is redistributed wealth stolen from capitalists, and the national debt is the govt spending more than they steal on safety net programs.
English
@Tori_TLCR What created the great depression was the federal reserve injecting a ton of fiat and then removing it from the system to fast. The govt continues to do this at the behest of democratic socialists, with spending addictions and it’s a huge part of why we are in a recession now.

@John61926629 @tonyannett Yeah if you look at my other comments I understand that.

@Nichola05210941 @tonyannett Income tax isn't the only form of tax
What are sales and use taxes?
Good lord man use your brain
English
Here we go again with this crap. This is exactly the WRONG way to measure the tax contribution of the rich as it reflects income inequality. Measure the tax they pay as a proportion of their income.
Michael A. Arouet@MichaelAArouet
Left populists in the US and elsewhere love screaming "tax the rich." In reality, the top 10% of US earners already pay 59% of income taxes, while the bottom 50% pay only 3%. Are the left ignorant, naive or manipulative? Or is it just pure envy?
English
@tonyannett What kind of equality? How is that measured here?
English
Yes. There’s a direct link between equality and productivity growth.
Moshik Temkin@moshik_temkin
The highest rate of growth in the history of the US economy occurred when the US had its highest tax rate on the wealthy. The reason you didn’t know that is because of propaganda.

@DaniMayakovski Why isn’t he growing his own potatoes and making his own fries? Nothing stopping him from owning the mean of production. Dropping them in a fryer isn’t making shit dawg.

Este trabajador fue explotado en un McDonalds en EEUU durante más de 21 años y como "premio" a ser exprimido hasta los huesos durante tantos años, sus jefes le regalaron una bicicleta.
Así es la humillación al trabajador bajo el capitalismo, con todo lo que este hombre ha generado con su trabajo, ni siquiera puede tener un vehículo propio debido al alto coste de la vivienda y de la vida.
Como decía Engels: "Primero chupáis la sangre a los trabajadores y luego practicáis con ellos autocomplaciente filantropía, presentándoos ante el mundo como grandes benefactores de la humanidad cuando dais a vuestras víctimas una centésima parte de lo que les pertenece".

@tonyannett We’ve been thru this. The bottom 50% in America contribute nothing and feed off the system. Of course this is gonna happen when you create a free riders system like we have.
English
Again: the bottom 50% (the working class) are richer in Europe than the US.
Richard Hanania@RichardHanania
A survey asked Brits how they would rank if they were an American state in GDP per capita. They said seventh. In reality they’d be at about the bottom. Europeans don’t know how poor they are.
English
@beyond_capital I’d recommend you looking at laws that force them do this. You’re actually retarded if you think companies will waste money just making food to throw away.
English
@Jittery_Jenna @ProudSocialist Truth is what it is. Many of the proletariat “workers” you advocate for do nothing and provide nothing. They vote in a way that allows them to exploit the middle class more than the rich.
English
This is pathetic. We live in a time of historic wealth inequality where just 3 billionaires hoard more wealth than the entire bottom half of our country [some 170 million Americans] yet here you are running to lick the boots of our billionaire oppressors.
Wall Street Mav@WallStreetMav
Maturing is realizing that we are all sIaves to the bottom 20 percent of society, far more than we are to the top 1 percent.
English
@strike_dr You guys forget about the one child policy? 😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡
English
@damn_jehu @GodfreeTrh No….. create and OF account and tell me if your labor has any value….. profit is a measure of demand higher than the cost of goods sold.
English
@GodfreeTrh Profit is wealth measured by labor time. The working class measures wealth by free disposable time.
English
"China is not capitalist."
Further evidence that "full employment" simply means "full employment of labor power for the production of surplus-value, production of profit."

China Has Made It Illegal To Replace Human Workers With A.I. To Cut Costs! 🤖🚫💼

@alechenrhin @MileiLens @LPNational @TheAliceSmith How is something privately owned when the state can tell you what to do with it? That means you don’t control it.
English
@MileiLens @LPNational @TheAliceSmith Stalin wasn’t an international socialist either. Stalin was actually a socialist while Hitler wasn’t a socialist period.
If there’s private ownership, then there’s no socialism.
English
If socialism and fascism are at opposite ends of the political spectrum, why do they overlap so much?
English
@Kiri_Jolit @Marginlfutility @LPNational @TheAliceSmith How so? You just made a bunch of analogies without explaining how fascism isn’t socialism and how your analogy relates. Word salad at this point.
English
@Marginlfutility @LPNational @TheAliceSmith Claiming fascism is a type of socialism is like calling a lion a type of cow just because both have four legs and a tail. Sure, one is there to graze and the other is there to eat the grazer, but who cares about details when they both have hooves? Also, lion has a badge 'cow'.
English
@LPNational @TheAliceSmith Fascism is the only successful socialist economic system. That’s why nearly every modern western country is fascist.
