The GOP's tactics to reduce the number of poor people is to 'disappear' them and/or let them die off.
No food programmes, no social security, no healthcare, no minimum safety for working people, no clean drinking water, no rules ensuring safe food, the list goes on...

swizzler01.bsky.social•2 days ago

The rich don't even seem to have much skills beyond being greedy. Poor people are resourceful and can have a vast array of skills. Who's the leech on society?

Tax the ultra wealthy.

nobsforgma.bsky.social•2 days ago

That will never happen with this Congress. This is why the mid-terms are ALL IMPORTANT. We need to elect people with courage and brains who will stand up for THE PEOPLE and not pander to an imbecile. Work for the mid-terms! It's the only hope for the future.

Republicans have never been about the poor, the marginalized, the minority. They are about rich white men. That’s it.

My feelings precisely!! That's what Eisenhower did, and those before him.
You the people have the power to depose this regime, since it is no longer serving the needs of the people, and restore adherence to the rule of law, as outlined in our Constitution.

mickey23.bsky.social•2 days ago

When Eisenhower was Pres. the tax rate for the rich was 95% everyone thrived, during Nixon it was 75%, during Reagan it was reduced to 25%, which began the greatest transfer of wealth in American history, from working class to the 1%, which continues until this day.

2.Reagan was the oligarch's dream come true, it's been a downhill struggle since that time, if the current bill passes the Senate, we will become the peasants that Elon Musk has called us. His pockets stuffed with taxpayers he has stolen.

See this is all well and good but half the country looks at this and goes “that’s right. I want more money for rich people”.

thegrayghost5.bsky.social•2 days ago

That is NOT going happen anytime soon.👽

realitycheck01.bsky.social•2 days ago

And it’s the idiots with no money that hang on to vague promises or outright lies that vote them in … time and time again.
Never learn. Like telling someone the stove is hot don’t touch it, but they do, then do it again to check.

Obama wanted universal healthcare
LMAO what a ridiculous take

geo885.bsky.social•3 days ago

Simple solution right?Imagine by taxing the rich the correct higher tax bracket-we can have all the funding we need for schools, infrastructure, veterans, healthcare, social justice, and much more.But we have a greedy bunch of SOBs headed by a demented man who want everything only for themselves.

bowtoy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Might have to terminate quite a few of them in order to get anything passed that would allow us to tax them. But hey, we can do that

Tax cuts have been framed S economic populism over the last 40 years by conservatives and centrist.

You’re not going to reverse these trends without embracing progressive populism. Let the centrist run as republicans

Won’t pandemics and hunger take care of the poor people? Are you being unpatriotic about the Big Beautiful Bill?!

amazionianshadow.bsky.social•2 days ago

Obama & Democrats could have chosen universal healthcare to bring us to the level of dignity as the rest of the developed world.
They didn't.
They chose to half-ass it & protect their friends pockets with ACA instead.
Fuck past dems along with cons. Let's move forward with BETTER people!

Best meme ever!

fanofprincephil.bsky.social•2 days ago

I feel angry that I pay my taxes every year just so that billionaires can get more billions. Meanwhile #GOP take from the poor even the little that they had. It’s cruelty from a party that claims to hold Christian values. Jesus wept!

And fewer that need to be Controlled. They are well aware that they're outnumbered. There's not enough NG and militarized cops to do the job for them for long.

gwb645.bsky.social•3 days ago

we can measure a loving society by the paucity of poor because love cannot sit idle when people suffer;
similarly, we can measure a hateful society by the abundance of poor because hate has no compunctions about stealing the last dollar from an impoverished family with 4 kids;

cds103.bsky.social•2 days ago

The rich ppl *became* rich bc of opportunities in the U.S., so they should "pay it forward" & allow others that same opportunity instead of hording, being greedy & selfish. The whole country does better when ALL are doing well.

Or kill the poor by reducing their food and healthcare and educational opportunities. That seems to be the Repugnants strategy.

Lmao. You are wayyyyy past the tax the rich argument. I mean really … how about not disappear the people ? Lmao. They aren’t goinf to tax the rich. Complain about something relevant

Regan was a Rich actor
Bush is a Rich oil man
Trump is Rich con man

Why do they keep electing rich guys thinking they will help the poor and middle class? The rich people don't hold enough of the vote.

melcrump1947.bsky.social•2 days ago

when Regan took office the highest tax rate was 70% when Regan left office the top tax rate was 28%. This was the beginning of the financial assault on the every one but the rich. the republicans have continued to reduce benefits and all programs that help the less fortunate.

jonesgrrl.bsky.social•2 days ago

We need to get back to this. Dems need a no nonsense POTUS not afraid to work for what really makes America great.

melcrump1947.bsky.social•2 days ago

I agree and control of the house would be nice also.

100% - most of the evil a foot today has it root in the Powell memo and Reagan’s efforts to effect the same. Without Reagan there is no Trump.

noonewins.bsky.social•2 days ago

But that's the entire problem. Orange Hitler doesn't want to reduce the amt of poor people in America. Make sure babies and old people are taken care of. He doesn't give a shit.

apryl29.bsky.social•3 days ago

Trump doesn't really want more money for Rich people, he wants more money for himself and it's just a happy accident for the Ultra Rich that they get to benefit from his selfishness.

We will never be able to evolve as a society or as humans unless we fix this. They are dragging the whole world down with their greed.

Sorry but Obama did not pass or have universal healthcare as a goal.

This seems too simple to be true.

michaelsolomon2.bsky.social•2 days ago

how about some kind of final solution to the problem of the rich?
