@ewarren $6T over 10 years is $0.6T/year. The federal government spends $1.687T more each year than it takes in. Your Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act is $1T short of balancing the budget, let alone create surplus that could be used for additional spending programs.

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.

@Wilson84KS @iamAtheistGirl I have no idea what you are trying to say. bcscapitalism? artificial scarcity? PPP? What is wrong with our property and contract laws? What stats are you referring too?

@NeilAlan262 @iamAtheistGirl In capitalism poverty is the absence of money, bcscapitalism is based on artificial scarcity caused by property and the contract law, this statistics are based on PPP, exactly what poor people don't have. Serious statistics would include theft, bartering, black market, etc.

@Geniustechw As far as I know, there is no medical procedure to change your chromosomes between XX and XY. If some doctor convinced you that if you have those surgeries it will turn you into a female, they lied. They did it to make money, not for your benefit.

"Hey Republicans: I've gotten surgery to remove my Adam's apple, my forehead and my jaw." "That makes me the equivalent of a biological female." What is your reaction?

@AZ_Brittney You do not have to be a citizen to get a driver's license or fly. You should already have a birth certificate and marriage license (as needed), naturalization certificate (as needed). If you lost it, that's on you. It is pretty easy to get an official copy if you've lost yours.

Agree or Disagree ✋

@ennui365 Were you around during the Carter stagflation? Reaganomics saved the country from disaster & ushered in the longest economic boom in history. I remember.

@uhonyn @EricSpracklen @elonmusk The federal government has no responsibility for road & bridge upkeep except for the interstates. The interstates are required for national defense. That was the original justification for allowing the federal government to spend money on it.

@EricSpracklen @elonmusk strikes again, saving money from infrastructure, health care and every essential service, and feeding it to the war marchine

American cities are literally crumbling while we are spending billions every day fighting a war in Iran. When will we end the madness and put America first?

@EricSpracklen Where I live, in the Wichita Kansas area, they keep the roads in good shape. Never seen anything close to as bad as this video.

@XCarcallaX @mcsquared34 If I take a loss on a stock transaction, do I get to deduct the loss when figuring my FICA tax? When I make a withdrawal from my IRA, do I have to pay FICA tax? IRA contributions are income tax deferred but not FICA tax. So, I would be paying FICA tax on IRA money twice.

@NeilAlan262 @mcsquared34 You abolish the cap on income subject to the tax, apply the tax to dividend and capital games above a certain cap, and cap benefit amounts

Abolish the cap. Tax rich people. Problem solved. This really isn’t that complicated.

@XCarcallaX @mcsquared34 So, you want to convert Social Security from a forced retirement savings program to just a welfare system. I am retired & living off my savings invested mostly in the stock market. It isn't much, but you want me to pay Social Security taxes on my meager retirement income.

@TheDemCoalition Data from a far left organization.

FACT: 80% of billionaire political spending goes to one party. Guess which one - the one that wants them to pay less taxes. #TaxBillionaires

@Sadie_NC I doubt if that notice is real. The restaurant would lose too many customers. Put the meal price on the menu and tell people that the price includes tip & no additional tip is expected or required but would be accepted if the customer desires.

Would you still go in and eat here? 🤔🤔

@dom_de_la_rose @mcsquared34 It is also a Ponzi scheme in a way. Social Security act was passed in 1935. A lump sum payment & taxes started in 1937, & first monthly benefits started in 1940. So, the first people got benefits paying tax for 3 years. Today, you must work 40 quarters (10 years) to qualify.

@andrewfeinstein Why does having a few very successful people keep us from having the good things on your list? They are not mutually exclusive.

@gpatterson828 Soros. He got his wealth by manipulating the British pound. He produced nothing of value.

@CaveatLector @JamesTate121 Are you saying that the DRs & hospitals get no money from the government? $400/day covers all the hospital costs, pays the doctors, nurses, administrators, janitors, maintenance, & etc.? 24 hours of care for $400 is only $16.67/hour split among everyone. I doubt it.

@NeilAlan262 @JamesTate121 ... except for paracetamol (aka Tylenol), I guess. We don't get to buy that in 1000 bottles for less than the price of a BigMac, alas. Then again, I also only pay 4€ for a Ventolin, rather than $120 (and yes, that's €4 full price, no deductions, no insurance, nothing involved).

When the price gap is this wide, people start asking why healthcare costs so much more in the U.S.

@sathyashrii The US was founded on individual freedom and responsibility and minimal government. If you don't work and plan for your own future, it is not the government's fault or responsibility. The people are caring though & many private charities are available to help.

Agree ???

@Alinavisooo What do you mean, still? I never did. Are you only asking people who once thought so? I could understand some Democrats thinking he was a good president. It is hard to believe that some believe (or believed at one time) that he was one of the best in history.

BE HONEST: Do you still consider Joe Biden one of the best leaders of our time? A. Yes B. No, one of the worst

@allabouttheUV @k2__investment @unusual_whales In a way, Social Security is racist, since life expectancy for blacks, American Indian, and Alaska Natives is much lower and thus will collect fewer total benefits over their lifetimes. Privatization would solve that as well.

The benefit is paid based on income yes, but the amount paid is not linked. SSA has won in court numerous times that there is no “paid in” balance you are owed. If you pass away a month into retirement, the benefit ends. We would have been better off if that money had been forced into an IRA like account to sit and bear interest for you that could be passed to descendants. But Congress wanted more access to your cash.

Murray: Is it true that people making under $184k pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate? Dahl: Yes Murray: And the rate for someone making $1 million? Dahl: 2.2% Murray: So, a 12.4% tax for people making less than $184k, but 2.2% for a millionaire or .0002% for billionaires.
