MAGA 🇺🇸Less Govt More Freedom. America 🇺🇸 First. A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take away everything you own.
The fact that this Spencer Pratt dude is even a viable candidate isn’t even a surprise considering where America is right now.
America is full of largely uneducated, unserious Americans. Which is why we have a stupid person that just learned how to spell “dumb” as president.
I get taxed every year on the “unrealized gains” from my house price increasing. It’s called the local property tax. If we can do this for housing, which affects the middle class, why not for other forms of wealth - especially stocks, which are owned predominantly by the rich?
I try not to contradict Nate very often but there’s a perfectly valid reason why it takes so long to count votes in California. Here is a typical timeline:
Election Day: everyone votes
Week 1: mail in ballots, absentee ballots, military ballots, overseas ballots, ballots accidentally issued to people’s pets, and ballots harvested from Skid Row start trickling in.
Week 2: As the ballots pile up, Officials consider appointing a Committee to Count Ballots.
Week 3: Committee to Count Ballots is appointed and commences discussion on electing a chairman.
Week 4: deadline for ballots from illegal immigrants.
Week 5: Committee decides that “chairman” is an outdated term and will be replaced by a term to be decided later once the Committee to Count Ballots Diversity Consultants finishes their report.
Week 6: fraudulent ballots from the Chinese Communist Party arrive.
Week 7: The Committee elects as Chairzerxon a nonbinary disabled child to count the ballots.
Week 8: it is discovered that the Chairzerxon does not actually know how to count.
Week 9: the ballots are thrown away and the Committee announces election results that are entirely made up.
@Cantrushit Not having a balanced budget amendment to the constitution effectively fucks the next generation to a greater degree. You are doing to Generation ZZ now
If you can't tax rich people on the unrealized gains from stocks then why do property taxes on middle class folks keep going up based on the unrealized value of a house?
The good news is that we’re getting close to an agreement on how to pay for core services. We will have a budget before June 30th and you can take that to the bank!
Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, gutted USAID, which supports some of the poorest people in the world.
Now there's an Ebola outbreak in the Congo, which USAID could have helped prevent or slow.
When you dismantle the systems that stop deadly diseases, people needlessly die.
If capitalism is so efficient at economic calculation, why does it produce homelessness alongside empty homes, hunger alongside food surpluses, and poverty alongside immense wealth?

The fact that anyone votes for a current Los Angeles sitting politician is evidence that our electorate and education system are failing us. No one with any critical thinking skills could vote for more of this.
