I'm not for equal outcomes. I want unequal outcomes.
If you work ten times harder than somebody, you deserve the economic reward.
But I do want the kids from the neighborhood I grew up in to be fed, educated, to have healthcare, and to get to the starting block.
That's not socialism, that's a rich enough country deciding that some basic level of fairness is worth paying for.
Equal opportunity. Not equal outcomes.
There's a big difference and we've somehow lost the thread on that distinction entirely.
Thank you @wethefifth for having me on the podcast.
If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than:
Tesla
Southwest
Disney
Live Nation
HP
United
PayPal
CVS Health
Palantir
Citigroup
PG&E
3M
That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax.
It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.
The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus.
You want to know what insults Jesus?
Kicking the sick off their healthcare.
Bombing schoolchildren in Iran.
Deporting moms and babies.
Covering up the Epstein files.
.@JamesTalarico: For 50 years, the religious right convinced our fellow Christians that the most important issues were abortion and gay marriage—two issues that aren't mentioned in the Bible.
Jesus tells us exactly how we're going to be judged: by feeding the hungry, by healing the sick, and by welcoming the stranger.
Don’t tell me what you believe. Show me how you treat other people, and I’ll tell you what you believe. Jesus gave us two commandments: love God and love neighbor.
There was no exception to that second commandment regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status, or religious affiliation.
🔥REP. @AOC: “How rich @KristiNoem says showing up with a legal firearm is grounds for execution when they support Rittenhouse & pardon protestors… we cannot go down this road, countryman against countryman… they’re trying to keep us divided so they can line their own pockets.”
