@AriesBased @justlucash@WallStreetApes That's a strawman. No one is asking to tax 100% of billionaire wealth. Billionaires just need to pay their fair share. It’s about curbing inequality, funding public goods, and shifting power away from the ultra-rich. Also, wealth tax wouldn’t crash the market; it'd raise billions
@AriesBased @justlucash@WallStreetApes Yes, a large share of federal spending goes to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, but these are earned benefits that protect seniors, the sick, and the poor. The problem isn’t that we spend too much, it’s that we underfund programs while giving tax breaks to billionaires.
@AriesBased @justlucash@WallStreetApes Another ad homenim, huh? The issue isn’t how much money has been spent, but where it’s gone: massive military budgets, corporate bailouts, and tax breaks for the rich, rather than affordable healthcare, education, and housing.
@AriesBased @justlucash@WallStreetApes Prices aren't only about supply and demand. Today's markets lack competition. Corporations hike prices to boost their profits. Greedflation is real. Monopolies dominate food, healthcare, and energy. Real problem is corporate power, not too much government.
@AriesBased @justlucash@WallStreetApes Everything’s so expensive because corporations have too much power. They raise prices to boost their profits. Wages haven’t kept up with productivity for decades, while CEO pay and shareholder payouts skyrocket.
@AriesBased @justlucash@WallStreetApes The 18% stat is roughly accurate, but balancing the national debt isn’t the issue. Billionaire wealth is exploding while wages have been stagnant for almost 2 decades. Taxing the rich isn’t about debt: it's about fairness and rebalancing who has power in society.
@redpilldispensr Vegan food doesn’t use shrimp meal as fertilizer. Vegan farming (veganic) avoids animal-derived inputs and relies on plant-based compost, green manure, rock dust, seaweed, and mulch to enrich soil. "Certified Vegan" foods are grown without shrimp meal or animal products.
@ShitpostGate Calvin Coolidge's presidency prioritized business interests, cut taxes for the wealthy, and weakened labor protections, which worsened inequality. While the 1920s saw prosperity for some, rural communities and workers struggled. His policies set the stage for the Great Depression
@redlettermedia Hi guys my birthday is coming up and I wanted to ask if I could commission a video. Could Mike and Rich get together for an hour and fanfiction a Season 8 of TNG that wraps up all the storylines?
