This does not include what was already lost in the collapse of the markets!

tidnov.bsky.social•8 days ago

Bullshit.

Its already cost me over $100 grand.

I don’t have an extra $315+ a month for this. Who does?! The cost of living crisis was already bad.

And this "tax" will also cause layoffs and international instability.

Eventually we're gonna have to eat the rich.

I think Forbes list says there are something like only 3000 billionaires, even with including their families it wouldn't be enough to go around.

When the poor have nothing left to eat, they’ll eventually eat the rich.

Only if they don't eat us first.

I feel like that number is low balling it quite a bit.

I think it’s 1400 events nationwide.

Reagan tripled the payroll tax.

2.4% to 7.65% To "save social security."

Employers have to match that amount for every employee. Killed small businesses.

If we taxed the rich their fair share all of this could be resolved without throwing more people into poverty and homelessness. Raise the cap on when folks stop paying into SS and let small businesses pay less.

bigtparker.bsky.social•7 days ago

The cap is the most unfair part of our entire tax system.

If it were removed, the tax could be less than half the current rate. And perpetually solvent.

No income exemptions either. It's not paid on capital gains and other sources of non-wage income. 1/2

Stuff like this needs to be taught in schools.

Not cutting up frogs or learning to play a recorder.

sphillips2000.bsky.social•7 days ago

Agree that it should be taught, but so should anatomy & music.

bigtparker.bsky.social•7 days ago

I think more people are turned away from anatomy and music by those two activities I listed.

The frog thing is just gross, and kids look around and don't see too many albums featuring the recorder out there.

They are both irrelevant as well.
