@porterstansb News flash. It won't matter. They will hate us anyway.

This is a terrible idea. It will make us the devil the regime has always claimed. wsj.com/world/middle-e…

@RealRickRule Yeah & it gave $1.5 trillion iin tax cuts to the top 1%. Raise the cap on Social Security & make them give it back.

Sir, the BBB was a budget buster, threatening the taxpayer as never before. Will you reign in spending and protect your tax paying citizens sir?

Bank of America is calling for a $1 trillion chip surge by 2026. These are the companies they believe will lead it. 1. Nvidia ($NVDA) 2. Broadcom ($AVGO) 3. Lam Research ($LRCX) 4. KLA ($KLAC) 5. Analog Devices ($ADI) 6. Cadence ($CDNS)

Billionaires would still have $8 TRILLION if we passed a wealth tax. But WE would have $6 TRILLION more for healthcare, childcare, housing, education, paid leave, food assistance, and more. Any arguments against a wealth tax at this point are just bad math.

@RealRickRule Sure, but they MUST pay their fair share of taxes. THEY ARE NOT!

Sir, we all want the money for the American people. Leave the money with those who earn it. Let them allocate their m oney as they see fit. Don't you trust them?

@RealRickRule You don't address Social Security, Medicare, & the unfunded mandates where the wealthy don't pay their fair share. On the income tax side, the wealthy & businesses just got $3 trillion in govt. welfare from the BBB. How many more govt handouts do they need?

If the rich were to pay their fair share, when might they expect their rebate. How might that rebate be funded?

The average American today lives better than John D. Rockefeller did in 1926. That is not an exaggeration. It is a fact. Rockefeller could not fly across the country in five hours. You can for $200. He could not video call his family from another continent. You do it for free. He had no antibiotics, no MRI, no air conditioning in July. He could not carry every book ever written in his pocket. You are reading this on a device that does all of that and more. Americans throw away 30-40% of their food. Not because they are wasteful, but because food is so abundant that waste is affordable. Your car has climate control, navigation, and safety systems that did not exist at any price a century ago. Your home has heating, cooling, refrigeration, and entertainment that emperors could not have imagined. None of this was voted into existence. None of it was redistributed from the rich. It was created by free minds operating in what remains of a free market. Every comfort you enjoy today is the product of a man who thought, invented, produced, and traded voluntarily. This is what the remnants of capitalism still deliver, even while it is being dismantled. Imagine what a fully free society could build.

Which stocks do you think could 10x over the next 5-10 years?

Under President Trump, the federal workforce has been reduced to its smallest level since 1966 — the lowest share of the total labor force in over a century.

🚨 WOW! Democrat Sen. Harry Reid filed to ABOLISH birthright citizenship for illegal aliens back in 1993 Now Democrats act like this is unprecedented when President Trump wants it! "No SANE country would do this!" "We REWARD them with citizenship!"

Hillary Clinton: "We certainly don't want [illegals] having the same benefits that American citizens are entitled to have."

Imagine that. (I’m paying income tax on my Social Security right now, third year in a row) Smh! - 🤬 🤬 🤬

@RealRickRule Carry is a tax break for the rich & was almost eliminated (pe firms bought off Kirsten Sinema's vote). It is unfair to ordinary Americans. It will be eliminated in next Congress. Only 10% of PE ventures amount to anything (per Mark Andreessen). All others are worthless.

@realrepayne The carry is no loop hole. They take the risk, along with their investors, and get paid a slice of what they earn, as opposed to fees. Fees are income, a carry is a carry

Madam: In that regard, private equity reminds me of congress. Increase taxes, incur debt, reduce service. The difference is that compannies controlled by private equity must convince their customers to buy, volutarilly , congress can and does coerce. Look in the mirror, and you will see the real problem

@RealRickRule @MrToad5 Yes, but it was an agrarian society. Much different than today where we have much higher quality of life. Would you want to live in pre 1913 America? If not, you must admit that the current tax system gives us a better life. Tariffs proposed by Trump can improve on our life.

@MrToad5 did society function pre 1913?

@WilliamShatner Live long & prosper Captain Kirk.

My Daughter came over to tell me her daughter heard that I had brain cancer. 🙄 She took this photo and sent it to me to upload to prove I'm not ill. The people who are ill are those that are spreading these ridiculous stories. I'm fit as a fiddle. You don't have to worry.

@lady_valor_07 100%, it's his daughter.

Don’t Lie Do you still trust Donald Trump? 1. 100% 2. 50% 3. I don’t trust pedophiles.

@NotA_Bull TSLA

If you could only invest in ONE Magnificent 7 stock for the next 10 years, which one is the winner?

@SenWarren Top 1% got $1.5 TRILLION in tax cuts from the BBB. For the 1% that comes to >$1 MILLION per couple for 10 years. Average couple got $3k/yr for 10 years. That's > 30 to 1 in favor of the 1%. The average person rightly feels screwed. Higher taxes coming & deserved for the wealthy.

Elon Musk has 6.5 MILLION times more wealth than the typical American. It’s time for a wealth tax — billionaires must pay their fair share.

@RealRickRule Top 1% got $1.5 TRILLION in tax cuts from the BBB. For the 1% that comes to >$1 MILLION per couple for 10 years. Average couple got $3k/yr for 10 years. That's > 30 to 1 in favor of the 1%. See why the average person feels screwed? Higher taxes coming & deserved for the wealthy.

Madam, the top 1% of taxpayers pay 42% of the applicable capital gains and income taxes, were they to pay their fair share, when might they expect their rebate? How might you fund that rebate? Are you disingenuous, or innumerate?
