If capitalism is so great, why do corporations need tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, bailouts, legal protections, and trade barriers to survive? And when ordinary people ask for help, why is it suddenly called socialism?

[RobertFella 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 @Bonkavision5]

Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it.
This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

Tesco are making £4bn a year in profit.

About 50% of their staff are on Universal Credit.

Why don't we crackdown on this unneeded benefit for billionaires?

[Gyll King Post Skip Diplomacy @GyllKing]

Tesco make £3 billion plus profits and yet nearly ALL of their shop floor staff are in receipt of universal credit. Shareholders and profits directly subsidised by the taxpayer.

Tescos are the benefit scroungers.

How hard can it be to outlaw this?

[daz @MetamateDaz]

If capitalism is so great, why do corporations need tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, legal protections, bailouts, and trade protections?

and why when citizens need these things, it's socialism?

[BLAH BLAHBLAHBLAH @BLAHBLAHBL53710]

Norway has the worlds largest sovereign wealth fund 1.2 trillion pounds, in seconds that 31,000 years. We could have had the same but along came a woman called Margaret Thatcher and basically fucked every UK citizen! NEVER TRUST A TORY OR A REFORMORON!!!

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

The system in the UK is broken

Corporation tax is supposed to be 25% or 19% for profits under £250,000

But only 13.2% is paid

Nearly 99% of the tax dodged is by the richest 500 companies, some like Amazon dodge billions by themselves

But you are the 'scrounger'

Make them pay

[SophieSpring97 @SophieP25397]

People were angry with the destruction of over a decade of Conservative government, then angry that a Labour government hasn't reversed the decline in two years, so then vote for the very people that caused the decline in the first place expecting them to fix what they caused.

How the world works in a nutshell: giant corporations profit from an illegal war whilst the governments who wage them tell the rest of us to tighten our belts.

[Emma 🧡 @Emma_Campaigner]

Bumped into a neighbour who is starting a new job in a sports pub. The company has to pay £77K a year for access to Sky/ TNT. So next time you hear people wanging on about labour killing pubs, give your head a wobble and talk about business scamming us.

[John Smith (son of Harry Leslie Smith) @Harryslaststand]

British MPs want to drink during the day and have their housing expenses covered by the state. Sounds to me like they are the real benefits cheats.

[Paul Vick @PaulVick138203]

Do you think the Labour Party getting net migration down from 649,000 year ending June 2024 to 204,000 year ending June 2025 a 69% decrease that returns net migration to levels seen in the 2010s has been a fantastic achievement?🤔

I will never understand why working class people fight tooth and nail to defend billionaires

[David__Osland @David__Osland]

I'll tell you who does 'rely on benefits'. It's the supermarket chains that pay their bosses millions of pounds a year while driving shopworker wages down to levels that force staff to claim Universal Credit.
