After-tax income under the Trump/GOP budget:
-People making less than $17/k year: LOSE $1000
-People making between $17k and $51k/yr: LOSE $700
-People making over $4.3M/year: GAIN $389,000
This is what class warfare looks like.

Because they aren't following the news. NYT article below says poll shows 54% of Americans who don't follow the news approve of the current economy.
41% of those who do, disapprove!

I don't talk to *any* MAGA people & I bet you don't either.
So how do we reach them? Ads on Fox? Skywriting? I like my idea of financing trucks with digital ads on the sides--drive them to Walmart, churches, grocery stores.
If Dem party won't pay for present ads then we need an organization who will.
It's time to put out fierce and useful ads--HOW WILL THIS HURT YOU! WHO'S HURTING YOU?
Don't push a candidate. Push awareness of how this will affect the voters!
How incompetent does that make them look?
Republicans still use the same attacks against Democrats that Reagan started. They repeat ad nauseum and never, ever miss an opportunity to do so.
Be it in sports or war or any other contest if one side is constantly losing to the other, one would expect for that losing side to change its strategy. Do something - ANYTHING - different to see how it works.
They were humiliated in Nov & yet they continue down that same path.
Republicans are ALWAYS on the attack.
The other way around is far worse. This is the government picking winners and losers. Thatβs not free market capitalism, itβs oligarchy.
This is what sociopaths do.
The only way you can stop this orange haired waste of fat is to kick him in the balls with everyone watching

Feed the rich
Always the same
Never a glitch
Greed's the cause
Has always been
Unless we're rich
We never win.
They own the game
They make the rules
We play along
Like mindless fool
Day after day
Same old grind
I stopped worrying
Cuz I lost my mind
We already know the answer.
why <$50k/yr pay 4 gutting former services while guttering future indicators AND padding the asses of the already too-fat who siphon moreso into fallow dead ends
continuing the facade forces a reckoning
budgets can't split into some pay others don't--equally distribute burden & windfall
so is it just outright thievery under a covering of smoke and mirrors.
Piss on Americans economics-usually called trickle downβ¦

Harris got 48.3%
Only 64.1% of the 245M registered voters actually voted. America fuked up bigly!

Here's what Republican "supply side" policies do (feed the rich, it will 'trickle down').
US with Reaganomics, W. Europe without.
Elon Musk wanted to get paid by his corporation the amount of $20,000,000,000 this year.
Iβll spell it out: $20 billion.
That was his opening ask. Thatβs on top of whatever else heβs already earned from his company. Thatβs obscene. It was mentioned on NPR.
If we used 'median income' and 'average house price' the situation would look even worse -- and as bleak as it really is.
- have politicians argue against the fairness of rich not paying.
Americans don't follow all the math so it needs to be simple, easy to explain and visceral

Add on the impacts of the regressive tax hikes for tariffs. Whether they are on or off, companies will be raising prices βjust in caseβ with a break even or a windfall.
Consumers, lose.
Example, people making between 120k - 180k.

If you make less than $15k/yr, your taxes will go up 74%!!
Do you know how POOR someone making $15k/yr is???
If our young people are struggling now, wait until they see what happens if Republicans get what they want!
Keep the pressure.
There are times when I feel lonely in calling and writing letters, but it has to be done.
These GOP sleazeballs up for re-election don't want to lose their nice lives. They need fires, bazooka, under their scrawny behinds.
Also got our hands full with the state legislature.
Whoa doggies got some real nutcases trying to trash the country.
And let's bring back deadly childhood diseases.
They do really hate Americans.
(if seen as stewards of our government, it's baffling. if seen as sabotage prompted by adversaries, it's straightforward.)
let's be impossible to ignore, impossible to subvert
stay safe out there

But also, if they start rounding up grandmas who are standing by the road with signs waving flags and shouting, that's real desperation. That will be interesting.
These assholes will definitely make interesting history books someday.
High school students I know changing plans, are now applying to universities in Canada.
But we know everyone is going thru some version of the fascist threat these days.
Ooh, we should have JD visit NZ and scold them before their next election! That seems to work!
We do have a good friend in Australia, and another in New Zealand. It may come to imposing on them. I'm older and feel I should stay here and fight. But the kids!!!
They piss money like drunken sailors.
** Sarcasm font **
Fucking assholes.
