Except the rich contribute 42% of all federal income taxes despite only earning 26% of income

2 dollar commie propaganda doesn't work anymore

If we turned off all Federal and State government handout programs for 1yr we could each pocket $15,000. 15k. Not bad. Best part? We can do it next year too.

the elon musk trillionaire discourse is giving me existential terror like there are actually just hundreds of millions of people in the west who think wealth is this *thing* that’s just *there* which people take from. these people will ruin our lives if we don’t deal with them

before you invest in a startup always ask how tall the founders are

Billionaires in America already for the most part pay as much as billionaires in Nordic countries.

But socialists want to pretend otherwise, so they pretend that unrealized gains are income.

[Mike Solana @micsolana]

unclear how to persuade people who believe in outright theft away from their opinion, or if it even makes sense to try anymore. communists don’t believe in liberalism, they only believe in jailing you and taking your things. treat them as you would a home invader.

[hamsters🌐🐹 @sigmahamster2]

Do these people ever get tired of campaigning solely on billionaire envy and bad tax policy?

America's postal system is a sort of negative lootbox where 99.9% of items are trash but the other 0.1% are special quest items that if not promptly handled result in crippling debts or your arrest.

Abolish libraries: San Francisco spends $47/visit. It would literally be cheaper for the city to buy everyone books individually

The punchline of this video is that people that don't have a lot of income don't pay a lot of income taxes (even if they have a lot of wealth). OK?

this is the kind of messaging you craft for public education when you believe the purpose of public education is giving unions money rather than educating children

Years ago when innovation made fracking more affordable, anti-American activists who wanted to kill the energy boom started claiming fracking caused flaming tap water, even tho there was no connection at all. Much of the Data Center hysteria is just this tactic repackaged

@matthewstoller sorry that we didn’t Spirit Airlines this deal

Instead, consumers are benefiting from faster Internet speeds, more competitive offerings, and next-gen services - putting downward pressure on prices

[Caleb Hammer @sircalebhammer]

This is the kind of slopulism that I hate.

Institutional investors are a MICRO slice of home purchases.

Actual affordable housing comes from letting developers build market demand, ending parking minimums, ending abuse of environmental laws via frivolous lawsuits, and more…

If by "clean water" you mean public water purification, then that was first implemented in the United Kingdom in 1829 by the Chelsea Waterworks Company. It was based on sand filter technology invented by a Scott in 1804, who sold his purified water for profit.

[bumbadum @bumbadum14]

Increasingly being vindicated that the anti-data center craze is the inevitable manifestation of every conspiratard slopulist impulse and will destroy this country.

40 years of nuclear energy progress was lost because of this. It’s going to happen all over again.

[Coddled Affluent Professional @feelsdesperate]

When it comes to billionaires my take is the opposite of Leftists:

Billionaires SHOULD consume all their wealth: megayachts, English castles, mountains of cocaine, own a dozen homes and 30 cars - do it! Spend it all!

The worst thing that can happen is for a billionaire to try to ‘do good in the world’ and shovel money to NGOs for some cause they get excited about. That’s the worst thing that can happen. Charitable donations should be taxed at 500%. A billionaire’s lavish lifestyle poses no threat to me but their misguided ‘good intent’ is absolutely cancerous and potentially civilization ending.
