The state pension costs working-age Brits over £150 billion a year.
Is it fair for young people to pay the highest tax burden in British history to fund every single pensioner?
Especially when 25% are millionaires?
English
@ReemAmirIbrahim Scrap the state & public sector pensions, everyone has to make their own provision.
There that was easy.
English
@rebelxan @krassenstein That is where we are. And you are right. It complicates a rather straight forward issue for no logical reason.
The Mongols had a solution to this.
English
@SimpletonWill @krassenstein People painting literal terrorists these days as rational, and strong leaders as unstable... Ahit like this causes world wars.

BREAKING: Stocks are up and oil down because Iranian President Pezeshkian says:
"We have the will to end the war if the necessary guarantees are provided to ensure that the attacks will not be repeated."
The problem?
That is no way Israel or Trump will ever give those guarantees. Once again the markets are in an alternate reality.

@Ozzyman314 @Acyn Should I point out all criminals the left protects in sanctuary cities?
The rapists, murders, thieves, and sexual predators?
Not sure why you do that. But you do.
English
@SimpletonWill @Acyn Only mentally ill maga would cry about crime and then elect a convicted criminal 😂🤣😂
And I’m talking about the violent criminals Dementia Donald Flooded America with with his Autopen
Why doe republicans do more to protect criminals than Americans?
English
Phang: This is so typical of what has happened in this administration.
Michael Flynn sued and is now going to be given $1.5 million in a settlement.
Ashli Babbitt’s family is receiving $5 million.
The Trumps are suing for $10 billion.
Five members of the Proud Boys are suing for unspecified compensatory damages, plus $100 million in punitive damages.
I mean, that is just a snapshot of the type of bullshit litigation that is happening right now.
English
@jonathanfg97120 @Acyn If you wanted to help Americans you would shrink government.
You would repeal the ACA as that is what is driving up costs. Subsidies disguise the real cost.
Subsidizing it just hides the failure it is.
Helping people through inflation, isn't helping them.
English
@Acyn She nails it.
Once again the Democrats prove that they are the only party that actually tries to help the American people.
And what do the Republicans says about helping the American people like this? "Oh! It's communism! It's socialism," or some f**ked up bullsh!t like that.
English
Meiselas: How would you vote on a $200 billion supplemental for this war in Iran?
Cortez Masto: I would vote against it.
That $200 billion in taxpayer money could go toward helping taxpayers.
With that money, we could fund ACA tax credits for another seven years. We could fund free school lunches for our children for another seven years.
When it comes to another $200 billion for this unauthorized war, I can’t support it.
English
@IAmPoliticsGirl Hard pass?
Why? Medicaid and SNAP are not legal federal functions found in the Constitution.
War is. So perhaps you should stop paying for unconstitutional spending instead?
How about that?
English
@Ozzyman314 @Acyn Only an insane D would claim that paying a woman for sex could be considered election interference.
Flood with violent criminals? You mean the hundreds of thousands Biden let in through the borders only to have those blue states protect them?
Those?
English
@SimpletonWill @Acyn Remind me again which party voted for a convicted criminal?
That then proceeded to flood America with violent criminals he pardoned?
English
@KirkSeriousFace Mark burned all bridges here with Dumont. That was coming.
Mark knows Finley is his guy which means Dumont would fire him anyway.
Mark mentioned Finley not to keep Finley with the Mavs, but to make sure Finley can get a job with another team when fired.
English
You know, being validated for everything I've known the entire time doesn't feel good at all. Flagg's here now. There's another draft pick coming. Unless the Mavericks decide to fire Kidd, which they should, none of this matters now. x.com/KennyBybee/sta…
Kenny Bybee@KennyBybee
In the interview with Intersections, Mark Cuban said Finley had no involvement in the Luka trade and that Kidd DID play a role. “That doesn’t justify it for our coach and general manager to stand up and trade our best player.”
English
@Ozzyman314 @Acyn I can simply point to D states and cities actively giving sanctuary to criminals.
Very insurrection-e.
English
@SimpletonWill @Acyn Hope you enjoy your taxpayer money going to criminals that attacked & betrayed America.
English
@YourAnonCentral @AdamByblow 1. Per Canada's Constitution they can legally secede.
2. They can't stop them if they do.
3. Any attempt to do so would invoke a US military response and likely annex other parts of Canada.
4. If Alberta does secede, Canada's revenue collapses.
Going to be fun.
English
@RepMarkPocan Hi Mark.
Why?
Will you then balance the budget? No.
Will you print trillions more each year even with massive tax increases? Yes.
So explain to me how taxation is needed when you just print what you want?
You are making the case to end the income tax.
We need to.
English
@realJohnBrewer @mjfree @NickKnudsenUS Subsidies shield you from the true cost of it.
D's shield you from that cost with subsidies. Subsidies it can't continue to afford.
W/O subsidies the whole market would break and you broke it.
Repeal the ACA.
English
@mjfree @NickKnudsenUS Subsidies are written into the law.
Health insurance is affordable. That is why it's called the Affordable Care Act.
English
Sen. Warnock is right:
Republicans found $200 billion for a war in Iran overnight.
But for 25 million uninsured Americans? Nothing. No urgency. No bill. No vote.
They fund what they value. And they just told you exactly what that is.
#FundHealthcareNotWar
English
@NickKnudsenUS The ACA drove up prices. We warned you it would. You didn't care and now you want continuous bailouts of it.
You broke it now not only do you want to subsidize it further but you now use it as a further excuse to nationalize healthcare.
That was the plan all along.
English
@Bratt_world Likely the reason why we can spend a fortune on the military and actually protect global shipping lanes, while Latte sipping Euros, fail each year to spend the required amt on defense.
They can't even protect their borders much less project power.
Imagine we stop doing it.

USA is the only NATO ally without universal health care

State Sec. Rubio: “Imagine if instead of spending billions on weapons, Iran spent that money on its people. They’d have a much different country.” Follow: @AFpost

@MarkSeddon1962 Iran has been waging a guerilla war for nearly 50 years.
Either directly or through its proxies. The war had already begun. Like the Mongols of old, someone just rose up and decided to finish that nonsense off.
NATO combined w/o US couldn't defend Hormuz if they tried.
English
Does he not understand that NATO members are under no obligation to aid the US in an unprovoked illegal attack on another country?
Department of State@StateDept
🚨 SECRETARY RUBIO: If NATO is just about us defending Europe if they’re attacked, but them denying us basing rights when we need them, then that’s not a very good arrangement. That’s a hard one to stay engaged in and say this is good for the United States.
English
@brianstelter Can you point out where in the Constitution Congress can allocate funds for them?
How is this a federal responsibility? It isn't. By any means.
How does the 1st Amendment come into play here?
English
Today's ruling will NOT reverse the Trump-led campaign to strip NPR and PBS stations of federal funding. Last summer, the GOP rescinded all $$$. Nevertheless, the ruling is a First Amendment victory, and it could lead to some funding for PBS and NPR in the future >>>

@dumbitpro @LuisSteeven @BernieSanders To add...Democracy is a very poor form of government and one that is historically prone to self-terminating.
English
@dumbitpro @LuisSteeven @BernieSanders We haven't been a Republic in well over 100 years.
Democracy killed it. Now we are left with nonsense like this and massive debt.

Ok, Jamie: Let me clear things up for you.
If my 5% wealth tax on billionaires was enacted you’d owe $135 million more in taxes & a family of 4 making $150,000 or less would receive a $12,000 payment.
Oh, and you’d still be worth more than $2.5 billion. Seems pretty fair to me.
Acyn@Acyn
Kilmeade: What do you say to people like Bernie Sanders who says billionaires don't pay their fair share? Dimon: I don't know what he means by fair share
