Jeff Bezos just said the bottom half of Americans should pay zero federal income tax.

And honestly? He may have accidentally exposed the entire scam.

Bezos pointed to a nurse in Queens making roughly $75,000 a year and paying around $12,000 in taxes:

“We shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington.”

Think about how insane this system has become.

A nurse working 12-hour shifts is taxed before she even sees her paycheck while billionaires borrow against appreciating assets, exploit loopholes, and sometimes pay lower effective tax rates than school teachers.

The average American is funding an empire they can barely afford to live in.

Wars.
Interest payments.
Corporate subsidies.
Defense contracts.
Lobbyist wish lists.

Meanwhile the person changing bedpans in Queens gets her paycheck carved up like she’s financing Rome before collapse.

The most dangerous thing Bezos said wasn’t about taxes.

It was admitting out loud that the people carrying the country on their backs are getting crushed while the system tells them it’s “normal.”

If Joe Biden’s “spiritual advisor” had pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a 12 year old girl, Fox would be playing that shit on a loop 24/7.

Members of Congress make $174,000 per year.

Mike Johnson, as the Speaker of the House, makes $223,500 per year.

The House of Representatives have worked a total of 14 days since July 25th.

14 DAYS.

It is outrageous and illegal for Trump to withhold money from states that didn't vote for him.  

It is UNCONSTITUTIONAL to rescind federal funding that has already been appropriated by Congress.

🚨 BREAKING: Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) is now pushing legislation ABOLISHING paychecks for members of Congress during a government shutdown.

"We shouldn't get paid if we don't do our job."

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 BREAKING: Congressman Ralph Norman (R-SC) files to abolish paychecks for members of Congress during a government shutdown.

"No backpay either."

💡Crazy fact—Huntington’s Disease was infamously the worst disease with 100% genetic penetrance—ie you were 100% doomed to develop it with no treatment/cure if you carried the gene 🧬—but now there is finally a treatment for it, thanks to science. Don’t defund medical research!

[Laura Vater, MD, MPH @doclauravater]

In med school, I learned that Huntington's disease was one of the most devastating inherited conditions. It caused progressive neurological decline, starting around age 30. There was no treatment. Now, Huntington's has been treated for first time.

This is why we fund science.

Starting November 1st, New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents.

It's expected to save families over $12,000 per child annually.

This is a huge step forward — and a reminder that we have the power to fix the system.

[Chase Oliver @ChaseForLiberty]

This is Dean Withers
He is probably 100% opposed to Charlie Kirk's politics, and he is rightfully upset and showing empathy to Kirk's wife and kids.

Those who want to paint this horror onto everyone on "the left" need to think for a moment and realize that most people don't celebrate murders.

This isn't left vs. right. It's right vs. wrong, and the human decency most of us have vs. the actions of a violent sociopath.

Don't let the murderer win
