@droid1963 @TheAliceSmith Capital gains are only assessed when assets sold.If we took a very small percentage of each trade made by everyone it would solve a lot of problems. And again the richest 10% hold 90% of stocks. You want real “trickledown” this is it.
English

@RCal122 @TheAliceSmith Capital gains are already taxed.
Fuck you, no.
English

@droid1963 @TheAliceSmith I’m talking about putting a small surtax on every single trade made in the market. And anytime someone uses assets to borrow against a surtax on that too. Obviously there has to be limits/exceptions. Considering the richest 10% own 90% of the stocks they can afford it.
English

@RCal122 @TheAliceSmith Tax assets?
A) equities can decrease in value; do we get those taxes refunded if we do?
B) home are assets; are you proposing taxing Canadians’ residences?
English

@droid1963 @TheAliceSmith I’m not advocating for a socialist system. We should just tax assets more than income and stop all the loopholes. Also a small surcharge on all stock trades and dividends as a way to collect revenue for safety net programs and education isn’t a bad idea either.

@RCal122 @TheAliceSmith Show me one example of people building rafts out of garbage to flee capitalist countries for socialist ones
English

@JaimeVelo @TheAliceSmith Ok bot. Explain why it’s better for a handful of people to have all the resources and the mass majority live in poverty? We could have a capitalist system with better safety nets for the vulnerable. A billionaire might have to delay the purchase of their 4th yacht boohoo 😢

@Xerxedecju @TruthSe3kerEt @DanielDiMartino Unfortunately the current people collecting now are the most selfish gen in history they didn’t contribute enough for what they will take from SS/Medicare. I love subsidizing the retirements of all the rich boomers while I ration food so I don’t go into credit card debt to eat.
English

@TruthSe3kerEt @DanielDiMartino It’s only for the olds. So we all fund it now and receive none of the benefits

He wants you to
- Get treated at government hospitals
- Live in public housing
- Eat at government grocery stores
No, thank you.

Health care? "You're on your own." Housing? "Nothing we can do." Grocery prices? "You're out of luck." $200 billion for another war? "No problem!" Americans—Democrats, Republicans, independents—are SICK AND TIRED of endless wars. We need to invest here at home.
English

@TheNewsMonitor1 @DanielDiMartino So taxing someone more with $800 billion sounds crazy but letting 60% of the population live on the brink of homelessness sounds right? Nobody is advocating for socialism but the extremely rich don’t pay enough taxes.. high w2 earners get screwed, we need to tax assets instead.
English

I would argue there is no person that has done more damage to a generation of voters than this communist right here.
He created a cult following amongst left leaning millennial and gen Z voters.
None of his policy ideas are based on political or economic reality and they only beget more poverty
English

@Grand_Ole_Evan Man it’s like all the other first world countries that don’t cuck over billionaires have universal healthcare and affordable secondary education and/or apprenticeship programs. It’s only in America where we punish the sick and poor for no other reason than we can.
English

@bennyjohnson Because he’s not exposing fraud. Going to a daycare and demanding to see children sounds like something pedos do. I wouldn’t want this weasel coming to my kids school
English

@GeriPerna Sounds like your old man was selfish af. I’m sure he had plenty of $ for the bar or toys he wanted to purchase.. or probably a second family knowing half of that generation. I get teaching your children to stand on their own but things are exponentially harder now
English

My father raised 5 kids. He did not have "extra" money to pay for our college educations. If we wanted to go, it was on our dime. He always felt that if we paid for something ourselves, we would appreciate it more. He never bought any of us a car, and if we wanted to drive his, we had to pay our share of the insurance. If he were still alive, and was asked to contribute to these retirement plans for kids...he would laugh in your face.
English

@polarbear1066 @robprogressive That is exactly what we need to do but unfortunately those who own the assets also own the politicians. We purposely put all the tax burdens on the middle and lower classes. While the extremely rich use the buy,borrow,die tactic and their children inherit tax free inflated assets
English

@robprogressive You’re talking about income tax. There’s an argument that income tax should be reduced and wealth taxes such as CGT increased.
English

@robprogressive The top .01 % like Musk/Bezos take loans against their assets and don’t pay any taxes on it. They use accountants, shell companies and depreciation to basically nullify their tax liabilities. High wage W2 income employees are absolutely getting over taxed. Tax assets not income.

Given that I have built two companies in widely different fields to trillion dollar plus valuations simultaneously, I am might be getting a few things right once in a while

@RepDavid What’s sad is that there are sooooo many boomers collecting SS that don’t even need it. Like my old boss he collects SS, GE pension, and pays himself $25k a month but paying for health insurance or benefits for his 2 employees was “too expensive” 🙄 but a $5k flame thrower isn’t

My little Matthew is 3. This country needs 104% of his lifetime earnings just to cover promises Washington already made.
In less than 6.5 years, the Social Security trust fund is empty. In less than 6.5 years, the Medicare trust fund is empty.
We will double poverty of seniors. That is the morality of this place now.
English

@elonmusk You are such a tool. Instead of boasting on a platform you purchased and force anyone using it to see your posts via algo fixing.Maybe you could do something to make a difference in this world. You have the resources to make real change and you’d rather just inflate your own ego.
English

@GrahamStephan It’s either a wealth tax or a surcharge on loans against assets. With the tax code now the rich use the buy, borrow, die tactic. And their children inherit inflated assets and govt gets $0. Meanwhile teachers and nurses pay 20-30% taxes on their income. Time to end the loopholes
English


@mooneill3 @djm21j2 @FarmGirlCarrie So you want me to ingest a bunch of right wing propaganda you mean? There is no such thing as an unbiased source now. Stay on your knees for the Pedo in chief but my guess is you’re probably 20 years older than he likes.

@RCal122 @djm21j2 @FarmGirlCarrie No you fuckin tard, try to expand you're thinking and research. Good Lord!!!😂🤣😂

@EricLDaugh Everytime I bring up the point of illegals voting like who is actually gonna risk it all to vote if they are here illegally and scraping by working migrant labor jobs. Nobody has a good answer for me. Because the last place an illegal immigrant wants to be in is a govt building.

🚨 BREAKING: Stephen Miller drops a message of TRUTH for every American ahead of the midterms
"The Democratic Party is at war with the heroes trying to keep the terrorists from killing our loved ones! That's what we're up against!"
"And to your point about voter ID, why would a political party refuse to support proof of citizenship, refuse to support voter ID, when you brought in all these illegal aliens? Unless you were trying to ensure that illegal aliens could vote and tilt the balance of power!"
"This strikes at the very heart of our democracy. This is about whether or not democracy as we know it survives in America!"
"God help us if they ever got back in power."
English

@bennyjohnson If you want to find the fraud look no further than the Republican Party and Trump. Took 10 billion of tax payer dollars for his fake “Board of Peace” then decides to bomb Iran. That is just one example of the massive waste an fraud this administration does on a daily basis.
English

🚨BREAKING: VP JD Vance lays out the plan to tackle fraud during the first meeting of the White House task force to eliminate government fraud.
“You’ve never had an administration that has really taken this seriously until the president put us really from day one of the Trump administration, who said we have to take the fraud issue seriously.”
“What we’re going to actually do is force the bureaucracy to take this seriously and work together as political principals to make sure that we stop allowing fraudsters to steal the American people’s money!”
