the american govt would rather try to criminalize delivering aid to a country we’ve starved, than punish the epstein class.

NAILED IT: Jeff Bezos: “A nurse in Queens who makes $75K a year pays more than $12K a year in taxes. Does that really make sense?”

“So people talk about making the tax system more progressive. How about we start by having the nurse in Queens NOT pay taxes? At all!”

“Why is a nurse in Queens who makes $75K a year paying more than $1K a month in taxes?”

“That’s $1K a month that could help with rent or groceries or anything.”

“And by the way, do you know what that all adds up to? The bottom half of income earners in this country pay only 3% of the taxes. It’s only 3%.”

“We can find 3%. So we don’t have... it’s a small amount of money for the government. You know that. And the more I thought about it, to me, it’s kind of absurd that we’re doing this.”

“We shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington — they should be sending her an apology. It really makes no sense.”

Exactly!

One of the reasons that both Neoliberals and fascists hate people like Mamdani is because he proves they are all liars who have effectively sold out their constituents to billionaire interests.

All of the pain we have been told to endure has been a choice to sate the wealthy

@GregoryKBovino Eat shit.

@JamesSurowiecki The analysis is that a lot of “centrist” Trump voters just want a populist to fix things. Dems refuse to run a populist then gaslight you into thinking people want republican classic when they order labor party off the menu.

@adammocklerr @mehdirhasan Put your finger in his chest next time. Rage bait that bitch

[thecityc @TheCityC]

@BarackObama So your position is to elect democrats to ensure our voting rights are protected? Because we did that in 2020 and Manchin and Sinema prevented it from happening and Dems did fuck all to bully them into line. So why should we trust dem electeds on this issue? Ps in liberal fwiw

FDR said we “wouldn’t have to worry about a fascist takeover as long as democracy delivers on its promises.” We’re where we are because democracy hasn’t done that…

The most powerful nation in the world could afford universal healthcare; we haven’t had it because of the political sway of health insurance companies.

The most powerful nation in the world could have a system of free or near free college and tech schools; we haven’t had it because of the political sway of college lenders.

The most powerful nation in the world could demand fair taxation of its richest citizens; we haven’t had that because of the political sway of the billionaire class.

We WILL get to the end of this current nightmare. We should be thinking now about what we want America to look like when we have a chance to. begin again.

@treeaston @shannonrwatts Stop whoring for billionaires then. I’m a staunch liberal voter even in local elections and I’m fucking fed up with the corporatist bullshit from the DNC. Change or die. Cry me a fucking river if you don’t like it.

@Acyn What you’ll also find is the overwhelming majority of people don’t go to church. So.

Centrist democrats have two years to get behind more progressive and social policies or they will lose the 2028 election. The discontent with both parties is so strong, Gavin ain’t it, Kamala ain’t it, Hillary wasn’t it, JD Vance ain’t it, Rubio ain’t it. People are tired.

People under 30 might not remember that we could go weeks without hearing from or thinking about the President of the United States.

@JJCarrell14 Damn homie. You got conned by a con man? If only there were signs he may not be on the level.
