“Billionaires already pay more taxes than you ever will” is one of the most financially illiterate arguments on this app because it confuses nominal dollars with effective burden.

A billionaire paying $500M in taxes sounds enormous until you remember they gained $20B in asset value while doing it. The relevant metric is percentage, not raw dollars. A teacher paying 22% of a $60k salary is carrying a heavier proportional burden than someone paying 8% while their wealth compounds tax-deferred through stock appreciation.

And this “their money was already taxed” line is mostly fiction at billionaire scale.

Middle-class wealth is usually income that got taxed, then saved. Billionaire wealth is overwhelmingly unrealized appreciation. Tesla stock going vertical did not mean Elon “earned” $100B in taxable salary. The shares appreciated. Under current law, that appreciation can sit untaxed for decades, get borrowed against for liquidity, then receive stepped-up basis treatment at death that can erase the embedded gains entirely.

That is not “double taxation.” In many cases it is functionally zero taxation on the primary mechanism of wealth accumulation.

People also weirdly talk about billionaires like they emerged from the forest carrying capitalism on their backs with no public inputs involved.

Their companies rely on:
public roads
public courts
public contract enforcement
public utilities
public universities
public research grants
public internet infrastructure
public IP law
public military-protected trade routes
public education systems producing labor

The modern corporation is not built in isolation. It operates inside an enormous state-supported framework.

And no, asking whether someone should contribute proportionally to maintaining the system that enabled $100B fortunes is not “greed.” That framing is emotional theater designed to avoid discussing the actual structure of tax law.

The real debate is simple:
Should labor income be taxed continuously while massive asset appreciation can compound largely untouched for generations?

That’s the argument. Everything else is distraction.

The rich have convinced the poor to turn their backs on healthcare, on education, on workers' rights, & so many other things. Socialism isn't the threat, not to you or anyone else. The real threat is the billionaire class that is ok with people starving & being homeless. They hate you.

Yea we joke about the double standard in the media, but this is legitimately insane.

[Boston Smalls @smalls2672]

I am so goddamn sick of religious fanatics. Whether its christ is king, jewish supremacy or jihad.

You're all fucking psychos in a death cult. Your god isnt real. Your stories are lies and ancient books dont give you deeds to land.

You're all a bunch of pedo freaks and a detriment to free societies who want live in peace.

Much love to Alex Pretti and Renee Good—but remember—ICE has killed 9 people in 2026. You know the names of the 2 white people they've killed.

ICE has also killed a Black man named Keith Porter, a Cambodian named Parady La, and five Latinos named Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos.

ICE is on pace to kill more than 100 people this year. Abolish ICE. Impeach Noem. Prosecute those who committed these crimes.

The word here is not "sweeping." It's unconstitutional, as a blatant violation of the 4th amendment. Purely illegal.

This is terrifying.

[Tom Morello @tmorello]

Kristi Noam, Nazi slogan on podium today. “One of ours, all of yours.” WW2 SS officer killed, Nazis retaliated—One of ours, all of yours. The Victims:
◦Men: Over 170 shot on the spot; others later executed in Prague.
◦Women: Roughly 200 were deported to Ravensbrück concentration camp, where many died.
◦Children: Most were separated from their mothers; 82 were gassed at the Chełmno extermination camp. A few deemed "racially pure" were taken for "Germanization" by SS families.
•The Obliteration: The village was burned, buildings were dynamited, and the area was bulldozed and replanted to literally erase it from the map. 
YOU VOTED FOR THIS??

@itsPrez @SavageSports_ Yup! It's the fumble that's the problem. Sometimes the reason isn't there, but ya can't turn it over.

@ezlazar Pathetic

[Nate @Nate278]

@tkyles39 A bit different than our last QB who players on other teams didn't seem to care for.

[Nate @Nate278]

@tkyles39 These refs are terrible across the board. And then there needs to be dinner and a date to discuss it all too.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was: a man who believed that the Civil Rights Act that granted Black Americans the right to vote was a “mistake,” who after the violent attack on Paul Pelosi claimed that “some amazing patriot out there” should bail out his assailant, and accused Jews of controlling “not just the colleges – it’s the nonprofits, it’s the movies, it’s Hollywood, it’s all of it.”

His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans – far from “working tirelessly to promote unity” as asserted by the majority in this resolution.”

We can condemn his horrific assassination and the scourge of political violence without uplifting these ideas.

[Nate @Nate278]

@ezlazar They literally only made one play on defense all game. It's been bad, but the offense has the ball all half.

Here is a great website, where you can put in your zip code and see what specific cuts in Social Security in your area Republicans are proposing and what that will mean for you specifically. https://t.co/GSJvgNdE5r
