In today's America a bunch of rich assholes are trying to convince us that you don't need a living wage, Social Security, or Medicare. You just need to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and be a billionaire.

They are trying to convince us that raising the minimum wage will or giving us healthcare that we can afford will be detrimental to our economy, but also that making the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes would hurt also hurt the economy.
I am scared as a senior in my 70s on a fixed income, every day is scary enough. The added fear of social security and Medicare cuts has raised my stress levels exponentially. Trump could care less about people like me.
There's one word commonly used to describe the pay packets of CEO's.. "earned"
That's so much bullshit, renumeration, sure, but nobody EARNS 17 million dollars .. nobody deserves $17 million.
And with all the tax breaks Trump is going to give to the rich it will only get worse, especially as the workers will be the ones subsidizing those tax breaks...
No.You are lying.They want more money in your pocket, and they want you to pay less tax.You are obviously a wealthy democrat living in California who does not give a shit about Kamala's middle class! YOU HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER!!
#ClassWarfare has been going on for years. The average citizen was told they can be rich too, but only if they sell their soul by restricting opportunities to the less fortunate. Little do they know the playing field will consume most of them and they will fall victim to their own actions.
Most work a lifetime to provide for their Family and to secure a better future. Now they want you to work until you're 70 as they pocket your benefits. Sorta like that CEO, making millions at the cost of people's lives.
The fact that billionaires exist in the USA is a failure of our government. These people should be taxed at a rate that takes them out of that category, like it was before Reagan became president.
If you don't have boots, you can't pull yourself up by your bootstraps. And the billionaires, like elon, got where they are WITH HELP FROM GRANTS FROM THE US GOVERNMENT. Some bootstraps, those.
What's funny is " pull yourself up by the bootstraps" was something socialists used to say to mock reactionary scumbags. Because it's literally impossible to do that... even in anti grav
What I don't understand is how they don't get that if we are dead or can't afford to buy anything, then their businesses go under. The more people who have disposable incomes is better for the economy and their businesses.
These assholes want little old ladies to go back to work because that's what MAGAS want. They stated it well and clear on Twitter. They feel if they have to work so does everyone else. even if they are on SSA or disability.
People need to sense of purpose by way of employment. The reason why America is in a mess and there’s a lot of mental health, drug abuse and alcoholism is simply because of exactly that.
Trump is right, the USA has been destroyed by cheap imports . Jobs=Life
america! where else can your daddy give you a fortune, you lose it in bad investments and then get elected to government, just so you can steal from the poor?
I think that's a combination of currently making > a living wage and thinking that can't change and being okay with hurting themselves in order to theoretically destroy the lives of those they hate.
"The modern conservative is engaged in one of man’s oldest exercises in moral philosophy, that is the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness. The conspicuously wealthy turn up urging the character-building value of privation for the poor." - John Kenneth Galbraith
Trumps cabinet picks are ALL the "elite" he campaigned on getting rid of.
Using billionaires to fight against billionaire control is a JOKE and I'm so disappointed that ANY American fell for his lies.
Fuck’um! These assholes are going to find out that they’ve aready pushed people too far. For proof look no further than the United Healthcare CEO that got capped… Even if caught no Jury will convict for just the reasons stated… The wealthy better think hard about their future business decisions…
yeah. while those billionaires/ millionaires skirt paying their fair share.
you'd think those bastards would realize they can't take it with them but fuckers like elon are NEVER satisfied.
make enormous amounts of money, and have the less fortunate carry their deadweight
Right, stop slacking. And work 4-5 jobs. And have 1 or 2 online jobs for home. Showering nor hair styling isn’t necessary just look at elain and orange man. They are so busy u never see them lift a finger, but hairdos reveal it all!! 😀
I think I'm becoming a Democratic Libertarian. Somebody pull me back.
Medicare for all - to include Vets - is sounding pretty good;
and I'm replanning the IRA on my own.
I've been saying for years that M4A would save our veterans. Redirect VA funds to specialty treatment that serves the specific needs of veterans and let them seek standard treatment wherever they wish.
They do report one of the highest satisfaction levels for medical care when they get it, though. They just have to travel too far or wait too long because the demand exceeds the capacity.

That means that if the average worker makes $60k, its CEO would take home about $17.5 MILLION
$60k v $17.5M
We could all retire & live comfortably after 1 year's work if we earned $17.5M pa!
That's so much bullshit, renumeration, sure, but nobody EARNS 17 million dollars .. nobody deserves $17 million.

Slippish...🤭
Still have to FO with the idiots.
And the (minority majority) American voting public chose this option for all of us!
