Why are politicians always focused on implementing new taxes or raising taxes instead of balancing the budget?

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.

If Trump lost people like me and my friends, he’s lost anyone that can critically think.
Gonna be hard to regain our trust.
We aren’t blind, deaf or dumb.

Donald Trump's net approval rating has collapsed to a historic negative 17 points. He is the most unpopular president in US history.

because of red scare propaganda and mccarthyism, every single one of our grandparents was told communism will get them killed at a time when everyone was terrified of nuclear war, so they taught their kids and then they taught us. it’s the same thing with institutionalized racism except with politics and newer

Why didn’t we choose him??

A few months ago, JD Vance had a 33% chance of becoming the next President…
Now, Gavin Newsom is about to pass him.

Kamala Harris failed miserably because she refused to distance herself from Biden… JD Vance will face the same dilemma.

@dearsusanbranch @ewarren @vsansome Yes. Give it to our government. They are really good with money. I’m amazed that people think like this.

The Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act would generate over $6 trillion over the next decade—without raising taxes on 99.85% of American households.
This wealth tax for millionaires and billionaires could pay for universal child care, free community college, Medicare expansion, and more.

@freespeechonx @dearsusanbranch @ewarren @vsansome It’s called a progressive tax system. They like to think only in percentages and not absolute value of the dollars paid.
English
@dearsusanbranch @ewarren @vsansome You’re an idiot if you think your government actually uses these tax dollars for what they claim to. If they did, they wouldn’t keep asking for more money.
It’s like giving an addict more money to buy drugs. Insanity

@dearsusanbranch @ewarren @vsansome Why should anyone pay an ounce more in taxes when billions in our taxes are being stolen? The solution is “I know we’re wasting billions, but if you give us billions more we’ll stop wasting and solve the issues?” 🤡🤡🤡

@FrankfurtZack You are a dumb person and should never trust your own opinions

@Davidjwells20 @TrustlessState The left is just people with brainrot at this point
English
@TrustlessState Oooh boy, dude. You gotta start questioning how you ended up with such an oversimplified, binary, and incorrect viewpoint.
How did your sources of information scramble your perception?
It’s concerning to hear this from such a smart dude.

All the evidence I see points to the Democratic Party being pulled towards communism and Islamism without any sort of restraint from moderate Dems
The right is going to become increasingly nationalist in response to this until the Dems can get a grip on their party lines

@TrustlessState @invidium0x @_tolks As someone outside the US your takes are surprising, I like the Ethereum content from your account but your geopolitical takes are making me too uncomfortable to keep following you.

@TrustlessState fair enough but no regime change and further proof of chokehold on SOH almost certainly gives time and leverage to build everything back

@mcsquared34 Because even poor people can have principles. Not clear to me why you assume they would desire to take from others.
English
We’re about to have a trillionaire and there’s still people out there living paycheck to paycheck who oppose a wealth tax
English
@davepl1968 @mcsquared34 Brother in whatever you believe they take from us, they exploited everything from the working class and continue to suck us dry, fuck principles. My principles is that Healthcare housing and food are human rights and the only thing standing between us and that are rich fuckers.

@mazemoore @izzyjsmom @BernieSanders Who adds more value to our society, The Rich™️ or commie socialist politicians who have never worked an actual job in their entire lives?

Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, recently paid an effective tax rate of less than 3.3%.
That is less than the average truck driver, nurse and teacher.
YES, we must demand the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
