@ProudSocialist They were a failing textbook socialist nation until they accepted capitalist markets. Now they are more akin to an Oligarchy. Good try though!
Everyone screams "MILLIONAIRES SHOULD PAY THIER FAIR SHARE"... but look at what actually happens.
A $200k earner pays roughly $50,000 in federal taxes annually.
A $35k earner pays about $2,500.
It takes 20 workers making $35k to equal what one person earning $200k contributes.
So why are we pushing top earners to leave the country when they already fund the majority?
The real issue isn't insufficient tax collection.
The real issue is government spending $2 trillion on programs nobody can audit.
Stop attacking earners.
Start demanding accountability from politicians who waste it all.
@PaulTassi This film is Europhobia under the guise of diversity and inclusion. The bigots who made it are denying European History and its right to exist. That's it.
See how stupid you sound? Fucking moron.
Labour’s Deputy Leader has said that social media rules around elections must be tightened…
A ban on X is coming.
If they try it, Restore Britain will fight them in the courts, and hold the biggest protest London has ever seen.
BREAKING: Spencer Pratt just dropped this video calling out “Commie Mayor” Zohran Mamdani:
“We all had to sit and watch that Commie sit on the wrong side of our Founding Father’s desk”

To the Americans:
I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.
And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:
You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.
This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.
Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.
This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.
But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.
This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.
And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:
Thank God for the United States.
Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.
Long may your admirable country dominate the world.
Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.
May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.
Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.
Thank God for the USA.
Happy 250th.

@LoreRattius@yinzer_g More technology is the answer, not stupidly reverting to the stone age and praying to the climate gods. The earth has a history of warming and cooling long before humans came about, and there's no proof that it wouldn't be naturally warming without us, albeit slower.
@ronsterd89 I'm not struggling or suffering and his staggering accomplishments give me hope for the future. Conversely, the homeless drug addict welfare leeches fill me with contempt and dread about the future. Darwin says let them die and I concur.
