@WesternLensman Listen to his "Moms for Liberty" interview. If you don't walk away understanding that this man is wildly biased, you aren't a serious person. He tried them in his own personal opinion court and presented the case on air as if they were kooks. The Supreme Court vindicated them.
@DailyCaller Fake. His entire account is tragedy porn. He is vile, but not for the reasons he wants us to believe. Stop giving this man the attention that he wants. He isn't worth one second of energy.
Milton Friedman's greatest regret.
The federal government discovered the perfect crime in 1943: make employers collect taxes before workers ever see their paychecks. You think you earn $60,000 per year, but you actually earn $75,000 and hand over $15,000 to politicians without ever touching it. The psychological difference is enormous.
Before payroll withholding, Americans wrote quarterly checks directly to the Treasury. Picture yourself sitting at your kitchen table, writing a $3,750 check to the IRS every three months. The pain was immediate and visceral. Politicians faced constant pressure to justify every dollar because citizens felt the extraction in real time.
Withholding transforms this concrete loss into an abstract accounting entry. Your employer becomes an unpaid tax collector, and you never experience the actual cost of government. Worse, most people celebrate their tax refunds as government generosity rather than recognizing them as interest-free loans they provided to politicians. The Treasury collects your money throughout the year, spends it immediately, then returns your own cash and receives gratitude.
This system enables the explosion in government spending you witness today. Defense contractors billing $640 for toilet seats, agricultural subsidies for corn syrup, and congressional salaries for 535 people who rarely show up to work. When taxation feels painless, voters stop demanding accountability for how their money gets spent.
Milton Friedman helped design withholding as a wartime emergency measure and later called it his greatest regret. Free market economists recognized that the psychological pain of direct taxation creates political pressure for fiscal restraint. The temporary always becomes permanent in government hands, and the emergency justification disappears while the extraction mechanism remains forever.
@hourlyeilish It's fake. Their entire page is drama BS. They said she's 5 mos pregnant, and girl didn't even have a baby bump. Losers scamming for clicks.
I've never supported cancel culture. Until now. This is awful. If you follow or engage with these people. Stop. We need to get back to basic human decency. Social media has amplified the worst of us.
This Jesse and Ashley Ridgway Down syndrome abortion story isn’t adding up to me.
I think they faked the whole thing.
I went to McJuggernuggets YouTube channel, which is Jesse’s main channel with over 4 million subscribers. His channel is riddled with controversial and weird, depressing videos.
His wife, Ashley, has been the girlfriend leaving him in a number of videos. There are many videos about bad diagnoses to varying people in his life.
How do we know any of this is real?
@BriannaWu The guy who thinks he's a woman doesn't think a preborn baby is a baby. You can spare us your thoughts, dear. You have a credibility problem.
@McJuggerNuggets Your wife didn't "go through trauma." Your wife murdered her child because she thought he might not be perfect. All while filming it unfold for likes and views. You two are the worst of humanity.
@JennMGreenberg@AbolitionWomen@ashreneeway The mental gymnastics pro abortion advocates have to play is hilarious. The vast majority of abortions are elective and per the CDC, 44% of abortions are among women who've already had at least one abortion. These aren't victims of trafficking or incest. They're monsters.
