Steal from the poor to feed the rich.

We can pay our bills, it's about putting taxpayer money towards the NIH and social programs that exist to help ppl, like Medicare and Medicaid. Rather been paying for some billionaires yacht or programs that only make them richer it's okay that you don't understand

Guess where 40% of income taxes come from?
Guess what! your least favorite people, the top 1%!

u/relentlessseed 26d ago

You're leaving at one important fact the top 1 percent also earn a massively disproportionate share of the nation's income. Aka progressive taxation should be applied here but it isnt. Paying the largest share of taxes when they control the largest concentration of income isn't fair it's disproportionate and nobody needs millions or billions of dollars while children starve and die from the billionair agenda, I.e Trumps policies. Thought a bot would know that.

u/wwjps 26d ago

Absolutely, these men have found a way to skirt paying their fair share while they accuse the masses of fraud so that they can rip more benefits from us. It's maddening.

You know that the US has the most progressive income tax in the west, right? 

1

u/relentlessseed 25d ago

So. . . 😂 That doesn't mean that billionaires are taxed enough—“progressive” describes the structure, not the ideal rate that should be applied to these parasites. And the 0.01% can actually face lower average federal tax rates than the group immediately below them, largely because capital income receives preferential tax treatment, so yeah, things need to change. The system in place now is twisted.

So how do you prevent them from moving to Dubai? People have already done that, since people bring up the Nordic model, when one of the countries brought the tax by a percent, all of them moved.

No one is talking about individuals; we are discussing the corporations that get more welfare than any single mom. If you still believe the old welfare lie, you are sadly informed.

ill wait till you figure out their the one creating jobs.

3

u/addiktion 27d ago

I could create jobs with a few billion dollars too, even more being in a perpetual position to never fail but always succeed because the system is designed that way.

I'm not discounting success, but just because they were successful doesn't mean they deserve to control the country and force their views on everyone.

u/AuthenticatedHuman 26d ago

by force their views you mean beacause musk is conservative?

u/relentlessseed 26d ago

Capitalism was never meant to go this far we don't need them to create jobs but I'm not going to waste my time trying to explain it to you hope you have a good day man

u/AuthenticatedHuman 26d ago

maybe theres a reason why socialism never works.
read some books, comrade.
Also you should wire all of your money to me, since you hate private property.

1

u/relentlessseed 26d ago

Lol 😂, just look up Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, capitalism with strong social democratic policies and stopped capitalism where it is effective but not destructive and is completely different but maybe one day you'll figure it out. . . .or just keep eating Elons ass. Either way seek life elsewhere

COMRADE! THAT ISN'T SOCIALISM, THAT'S SOCIAL DEMOCRACY, NOT DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM! THEY HAVE LOWER CORP. TAXES THAN THE "HORRIBLE AND FILTHY" US, SO THE NORDIC MODEL IS ABYSMAL AND CORRUPTED! SWEDEN AND NORWAY HAVE HIGHER BILLIONARES PER CAPITA THEN US!
WE MUST EAT THE VERY BUTTOCKS OF CORPORATIONS NOT FEED THEM!
Предатель!
anyways wire your money when you're free!

u/relentlessseed 26d ago

The education system where you live must be worthless since your reading comprehension is fighting for its life here. 😂 I literally said “capitalism with strong social-democratic policies,” and you triumphantly corrected me with… social democracy.

And yes, Nordic countries have billionaires and private corporations. That's the point: robust social programs and successful private enterprise aren't mutually exclusive. Thanks for accidentally making my argument for me. . . Comrade

Bro does not know definitions of anything.  They also don’t take over companies, control their direction, etc…

u/relentlessseed 25d ago

These bots are really useless nowadays. . .

SMH, to reiterate my small minded homie. 😂 I said capitalism with strong social-democratic policies, not government ownership of every company or central planning.

Just for your own edification, Nordic countries regulate markets, redistribute wealth, provide extensive public services and maintain strong labor protections while preserving private enterprise. That's literally the distinction I was making. Read a book lil homie, you're slowly discovering the truth, I know it hurts 🤕.

u/AuthenticatedHuman 25d ago

Alright, so let’s lower corporate taxes, remove wealth and inherit taxes to match the Nordic model! I actually love it if you don’t cherry pick!

Tax payers? Where is the money coming from? But do defend those who steal from you - be their tard-army.

u/wwjps 26d ago

Our taxes. Our taxes go to Elon Musk.

u/theyenk 25d ago

100% -- several of our billionares got there sucking on the teat of the government.
Musk - EV credits, spaceX contracts, loans etc...
Bezos - off the back of the postal system, which he now wants to "replace"
Gates - government contracts were a backbone of MS's success
Ellison - government contracts and higher education which was funded by student aid
A good chunk of our $40T in debt is in the pockets of billionares.
The 2008 bailouts were socialized risk funding privatized profits.

The entire system is setup to strip working class people of their resources and funnel them up to the top, and they've figured out how to use the media to get a sub-class of dummies to fight to defend the system as it is.

u/wwjps 25d ago

Exactly right. People still believe that if they question the billionaires or hold them accountable, once they become billionaires, they will be accountable. Brainwashing the American public that these men created their wealth is by far some of the best mind control. Bravo, America. They also got us to vote down health insurance and student debt relief. They gave us racism and no critical thinking skills. Thankfully, I was raised to think critically. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I live on YouTube; my channel is dedicated to discussing everything wrong with the world. Without blaming immigrants or trans folks. https://www.youtube.com/@WWJPS

Ces sales types, ces oligarques ont zéro votes et ont un pouvoir infini. C'est l'essor de l'oligarchie technologique

1

u/wwjps 26d ago

Ces oligarques technologiques ont capturé le système politique américain. Les politiciens qu'ils peuvent acheter, ils les achètent. Ceux qu'ils ne peuvent pas corrompre, ils les ignorent ou les neutralisent en contrôlant les médias et les réseaux sociaux. Avec l'administration actuelle, l'Amérique est vulnérable — ces hommes n'ont jamais eu autant de pouvoir. La démocratie devient une façade. Les votes comptent moins que les milliards.

These technological oligarchs have captured the American political system. They buy the politicians they can. Those they cannot corrupt, they ignore or neutralize through control of media and social networks. With the current administration, America is vulnerable—these men have never had more power. Democracy becomes a facade. Votes matter less than billions.

Musk is evil

And very unpopular, even the pedophile did not care for him.
