@keith_carlisle@TomSteyer@nytopinion@keith_carlisle Are done with your rant?? You could have proven your point without name calling and berating him. Does that make you feel powerful or important? An opinion is valued when done with class which clearly you lack sir.
The @CAgovernor’s #CAbudget continues to harm immigrants in our communities and takes us further from our #Health4All goals. Tell your Legislator - these cuts aren’t just numbers, they are real harm for real people. https://t.co/yCrU7gsZYt
@RedWaveCrewHP What about a savings? Sorry this happened to do, but I have always been told to have a min of at least 1-3 months worth of at least rent or mortgage saved. I know we are living in very difficult times and cost of living is over the top. I hope you find a solution and congrats~
Jeff Bezos just said the bottom half of Americans should pay zero federal income tax.
And honestly? He may have accidentally exposed the entire scam.
Bezos pointed to a nurse in Queens making roughly $75,000 a year and paying around $12,000 in taxes:
“We shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington.”
Think about how insane this system has become.
A nurse working 12-hour shifts is taxed before she even sees her paycheck while billionaires borrow against appreciating assets, exploit loopholes, and sometimes pay lower effective tax rates than school teachers.
The average American is funding an empire they can barely afford to live in.
Wars.
Interest payments.
Corporate subsidies.
Defense contracts.
Lobbyist wish lists.
Meanwhile the person changing bedpans in Queens gets her paycheck carved up like she’s financing Rome before collapse.
The most dangerous thing Bezos said wasn’t about taxes.
It was admitting out loud that the people carrying the country on their backs are getting crushed while the system tells them it’s “normal.”
@objkshn@cwebbonline@CynthiaMcGinn16 You should probably do more research on what he has done with his money in the last 20 years. Fact checking is best before posting inaccuracies.
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.
