The wealthy elites will be watching what's happening and they will deploy every tactic possible to divert everyone's attention to something else. They'll probably go turbo on immigration (even more)! They'll tell you taxing the rich doesn't work. What they mean is, it doesn't work for them.
I have designed a poster for the upcoming HANDS OFF! protests on Saturday, April 5th. If anyone wants a printable file of it, please message me : ) Find out more about the protests here: https://www.mobilize.us/handsoff/
How is it that a criminal who died caused some the biggest protests in America yet a tyrant is in charge of the country and so far it’s been a pretty puny effort to protest against him.
If you can make the wealthy Americans pay taxes like everyone else, there would be enough money to pay for universal healthcare in America, but good luck with that.
Spartz's been in office since '21 (2 @2-yr terms). In Jan '26, she'll have served 5 yrs (less than 3 terms). She'll have a PENSION, NO incentive to work for her district, and taxpayer secured income for life.
You might already be following these, but please take a look at these and consider following. I also write this info on small cards and leave them everywhere I go. You can also checkout https://handsOFF2025.com https://go.bsky.app/6dCw92a

corporate & ultra rich 🤑 tax rates during those “great” “golden” years were:
“Following World War II tax increases, top marginal individual tax rates stayed near or above 90%, and the effective tax rate at 70% for the highest incomes (few paid the top rate), until 1964…”
Trumps tax cut adjusted Corp rate to 21%. He wants to do better this time and cut it even further. Few Corp or rich pay tax as there are so may loop holes they skate free.
...the next logical step - "lynch the rich" if they don't renounce their mythological god Jesus and In the name of the earth, burn the priests, pastors, Christian teachers of the "biblical lie" and destroy their "living word"...forever.
Please explain how it’s that Hoosiers are so dumb as to elect this screeching idiot. She shouts over everyone, denies facts and has accomplished nothing in Congress.
Please stop electing idiots like this.
Can we just say
It is not easy to understand these GOP members have children, sister, brothers , aunts , uncle’s, parents, Grand parents,GrandGrand parents , nabo’s ..
There is a non existing love for life in very rich people 2025. It this newfashion it is true Trumpstyle and oligarkstyle. Say NO
But we need votes. Applause doesn't count. Why does everyone always vote against their own best interest? I'll never, ever understand. It may be too late to turn this ship around.
Another Republican that doesn’t want to face the music. People do not want an unelected entitled billionaire gutting our government. She’s saying the people at her town halls were “paid” protesters. Stop lying! Get rid of this woman. She does not want to govern.
There’s a clip from Colbert where he’s talking to Bill Gates, and asks Gates about giving up 99% of his wealth. Colbert’s line is “you would still have $1.3 billion. I’m so sorry”
she scoffs
Taxing the rich will not solve the problems
cutting taxes creates jobs
NO
NOT ONCE
EVERY TIME THE POLITICIANS USE THAT EXCUSE IT IS A LIE
NEVER HAPPEN
KANSAS WENT BANKRUPT
If they are holing on to their ignorance so tightly they need to leave for someone who can
Back in the 50's, if someone made over 400k (4 mill today) every dollar they made after was taxed at about 90%. And we had the best economy during those days
Well, they are making that money on the back of all the infrastructure we build and maintain, the young who we fed ,housed and educated...they can't be rich enough to buy the government...?
Taxing them isn’t (all) the problem. It’s getting them to pay. If they are taxed at 40%, they should pay 40%. Not the under 8% a lot of them do pay. Some way under that.
They're better than me. I have zero interest in hearing any R out at this point about anything, at all.
They've shown who they are, they have sold out the very Americans they are to represent & they dgaf about the Constitution. "Tax the reach" being yelled is kind.
If a republican actually shows up to a town hall, that's more than most of the cowards will do. GIves you a chance to tell them how you feel face to face.
The reason I think it’s important to talk out at these town halls and for other people to clap and agree is because people record it and put it on the Internet and it gives people the truth about what this politicians are or aren’t doing without the propaganda of Fox News
We aren't fools. We know the rich aren't paying their fair share. Even the honest rich people are saying it. Talk to the Oracle from Omaha, Stephen King, and others
If you feel the need to wear a bullet-proof vest or stand behind bullet-proof glass to face your constituents, perhaps you haven’t been acting in their best interest.
The same thing that happened in 1932 with FDR is the solution. You take back the federal government, reform it, and put into place aggressive policies to reverse the situation.
Lol. Ur living in the past. There is no FDR now. It's all gop from here on out. U truly do not understand how the religious animal thinks. There is no compromising. They have used u for their gain for 200 yrs. And they will declare Marshall Law. Elections will be stopped for national security.
Compromising our core values has broken us & given us neverending war, 800 military bases and kids murdered weekly in our own schools. Ur a fool grasping onto these old ideas that do not work at all.
U are the embarrassment that allowed criminals to take office. And now they'll never leave. We have to SECEDE. CA WA OR should secede with Canadian Mexican support and whoever else wants to join in. Hopefully Hawaii and Alaska. And we control this side of the Pacific. We need a new constitution!
The root of all of this is massive wealth inequality. It will only get worse if the working class and middle class don’t unite and fight back for higher taxes on billionaires. They will push wedge issues to distract us and make us hate each other while they rob us blind and run out the back door.
The Dems are less terrible but both parties are culpable. Both parties benefit from the rigged game. There needs to be a massive awakening and unification of the working/middle classes or the wealth inequality begets oligarchy (already happening) begets tyranny. This is not a new pattern in history.
The last time this happened was 100 years ago. It began with what is now called “The Gilded Age” resulted in oligarchy where ultimately, European fascism took hold. Oligarchy created conditions that resulted in the Great Depression, which resulted in the rise of Hitler. It isn’t new.
To understand this, it is important to know that the Indiana supermajority GOP gerrymandered District 5 to make it a "safe" GOP seat after VS almost lost the first time she ran. This is wild to see in a deep red "safe" district now. I mean truly amazing stuff happening.
Tax the rich! Fix campaign finance laws now! She needs the rich to finance her reelection, or she WILL get primaried. She needs to appease Trump and F-Elon and be their puppet! She doesn't even care about what her voters want!
Only bother with taxing the rich if you’re going to get beyond being upset if the government is using it to raise the quality of life.
“It’s socialism. Whaaa.”
“It’s communism. Whaaa.”
“It’s technological utopia. Whaaa…
Wait. What?”
She's such a that. I personally dislike her a lot just as a person but as a politician? Hate her. I had heard she kept blubbering that nobody will come to the table to compromise. Well, not shit sherlock. When you alienate your base to support fascism you can't not expect that to happen.
And in gerrymander districts, they will still safely get re-elected. The Koch bro donor network want tax breaks. The billionaires will get their way. Democracy in red states is a joke.
All republicans care about is being better & special, more than the everyday poor. Guns & bigotry work every time.
She's lying to them! The Republicans (Libertarian's) demand that WE pay the taxes....not the wealthy. These people are fools to believe her nonsense. Unless she declares herself a "LINCOLN" Republican? It's hogwash.
Remember any numbers they throw out of what we can get by taxing the rich are bullshit. That's always an estimate on what they would pay on their reported income which is a fraction of what we need to be going after in many cases.

The moral arc of the universe and all that, as a brilliant Black man once said.
She was installed by the kgb.
TAX THE RICH!
And everyone rejoiced because they knew this was the way...
Billionaires are the problem.
So what if a BILLIONAIRE cannot get a 5th vacation home or a 3rd private jet?
Do you really think they will suffer?
Bottom line: They are Tone Deaf Republican Assholes
what's that, they can't afford eggs?
46% of Massachusetts has a COLLEGE degree.
They're morons.
And it shows.
TAX THE CHURCHES
TAX CORPORATIONS
Without Social Security, will you?
Find, fund and promote her next opponent
She wants to run away you can tell!
They need to be removed entirely, their existence is a poison to society.

She is actively betraying two countries yet can still pretend anyone trusts her or takes her seriously.

I mean I give her credit for facing her constituents but she had to know this wasn't going to go well.
