@allenanalysis @LightningFan083 desantis is wrecking florida. He is owned by the insurance companies, so home insurance is getting out of control. No one can afford it. Eliminating property taxes will just make maga happy b/c they don’t understand the consequences. The taxes will still be paid, just other ways.

🇺🇸🧵NEW: Ron DeSantis wants to eliminate property taxes for Florida homeowners.
Property taxes generate $55 to $60 billion a year in Florida. They pay for fire departments, police, EMS, and roughly half of public school funding. Eliminate them and that money has to come from somewhere.
Independent analysts say the most likely replacement is a sales tax hike. Estimates run from the current 6 percent to as high as 12 percent.

FRANKLIN, TN conservative @DavidAFrench: “I’ve changed my perception of the lingering severity of race problems. We adopted a child from Ethiopia- maybe naive: didn’t think she’d have a different experience than our older kids. There wasn’t a school she wasn’t called the N word.”

Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for over 40+ years on every salary I received. The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?"
(I'll be part of the one percent to forward this.)
I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it. The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security, but our employers did, too. It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.
The government didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them, and they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer.
But is it our fault they misused our investments?
And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it.
Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity!
Let's take a stand.
~ We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. ~ ~ Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government.
~ Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it.
~ Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income.

ICE use metal battering ram to break down front door—with 3 kids age 6-12 inside screaming in fear.
Agents point assault rifles directly at the children—while violently detaining their father in front of them.
"The young children are screaming in absolute terror 'Papá!'—you can hear them from all the way out here," said witness.
Clemente Chilel Ramírez said that no search warrant had been presented for his arrest on private property.
Local ICE office responded that it is gathering information before issuing a statement.
Incident occurred in the Estrella Village neighborhood on the southwest side of Phoenix, Arizona.
