@actingliketommy You are incredibly naive. Look at the Bolshevik revolution. Look at what the rhetoric was before and after the Communists took power. Lo9k at the Maoists. Look at what was promised before and after the revolution.
@famexbt Why are you only able to get $20/hrs? That is barely above minimum wage in some states. Do you not have any skills? What do you spend your time doing? I constantly tried to increase my value by learning new skills. I took every opportunity to improve myself.
Dear Mamdani,
Let me explain this the way I’d explain it to a five-year-old.
Imagine Tommy has a lemonade stand. Every week, lemons cost him a little more, sugar costs a little more, cups cost a little more, and his parents even charge him a little more for the table he uses. Then his teacher walks over and says, “Tommy, you’re not allowed to charge more than $1 for your lemonade anymore.”
Tommy says, “OK… but everything I need to make lemonade keeps getting more expensive. How am I supposed to pay for it?”
The teacher shrugs and says, “That’s not my problem.”
So Tommy starts buying cheaper ingredients. Then he stops fixing his stand when it breaks. Eventually, he decides selling lemonade just isn’t worth it anymore. His friend, who wanted to open another lemonade stand, sees all this and says, “Forget it. I’m not doing that.”
Now there are fewer lemonade stands than before.
The teacher proudly tells everyone, “See? I made lemonade affordable.”
No, you didn’t.
You made it less profitable to sell lemonade, so fewer people sold it.
Housing works the same way. Property taxes don’t freeze. Insurance doesn’t freeze. Labor doesn’t freeze. Repair costs don’t freeze. The mortgage doesn’t freeze. The only thing that freezes is rent.
And if the rent doesn’t cover the bills, the bills don’t magically disappear. Repairs get delayed. Buildings deteriorate. Some landlords sell. Others stop building altogether because the investment no longer makes sense.
You can’t solve a shortage by making it less worthwhile to provide the very thing that’s already in short supply.
It’s not greed. And it’s not ideology.
It’s basic math.
@BernieSanders A twice elected President hates democracy so much he is campaigning for voter integrity.
Yeah right Commie Bernie, TRUMP IS HITLER AND YOU ARE THE TOOTH FAIRY.
@BernieSanders Your own party literally cheated you out of a nomination and you are here babbling about Trump undermining democracy? All Communists know how to do is lie, cheat, and blame others. Pathetic @BernieSanders
Juneteenth weekend in Chicago:
-40 people shot
-8 people dead
-1 mass shooting with 13 shot including children
Everyone involved was black, no police were involved.
No protests from BLM, no outrage from Democrat Politicians, and no wall to wall media coverage.
Total silence.
@PramilaJayapal Umm...while labor performed the actual physical tasks, places like Manhattan would be a shanty town without the financing of the wealthy.
@PramilaJayapal They became billionaires by building products & services people want, and then they hire people.
This is nothing more than a Marxist ploy.
How about taxing the 60% who pay ZERO Federal taxes??
The IRS collects around $2.2T in personal taxes each year, the Top 1% of earners pay 46%, the Top 50% of earners pay 97.7%.
Our Fed Gov collects around $4.7T in revenue every year, up 47% since 2022, but our Congress spent over $7T or 50% over budget in 2025 alone.
With all the major fraud being found, PERHAPS
Elon Musk is not stealing from you.
Gavin Newsom is stealing from you.
Karen Bass is stealing from you.
Tim Walz is stealing from you.
Elizabeth Warren is stealing from you.
AOC is stealing from you.
Becoming wealthy does not make you evil.
The people who take from you, promising to fix problems and then enriching themselves while trying to get you to hate those they’re taking the money from, are evil.
1) The US already collects FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS OF TAX REVENUE A YEAR. The idea that you need to collect even more taxes — when you parasites already confiscate the equivalent of Elon’s entire net worth five times over, every year — is lunacy. Stop wasting billions of dollars a month of stupid bullshit. How about that for an idea?
2) We do not need more children in taxpayer funded daycare centers. Our goal should be precisely the opposite of that. We need more women at home raising their kids.
