I have an acquaintance (careers crossed multiple times). He was just let go by a different federal agency (probationary hire) and all our former military comrades are basically saying, "Yeah, it sucks buddy, but DOGE had to get rid of the corruption in the system. Say hi to the wife and kids." WTF!
People are completely mindfucked about the idea of paying taxes. Libertarian and other right wing crap has convinced people that "taxation is theft" and "government equals bad". They think tearing it all down will somehow fix their problems. It's totally childish.
I see the RrWNJs on the other site, whenever someone proposes this. It's either "They already pay the majority of taxes," or "Their companies will raise prices."
Cut government waste intelligently, the opposite of Trump.
Pay the national debt first, then cut taxes.
Kamala would be a far superior president the criminal in charge. Many voters must have liked his ideas like less spending, because he's a failure as a man and leader.
Well 77 million people choose the reality tv felon, 75 million said that's a bad idea and 90 million didn't give a shit. Or were suppressed/disenfranchised.
You don't get rich without the motivation of #GREED & caring ANYTHING about ANYBODY else other than YOURSELF & YOUR OWN ENRICHMENT.
You don't have to be a genius to get rich -
Just selfish & greedy & immoral.

Ok here's how I see it. The reason they give for doing something is never the real reason. It's always bs - seriously, every time. The firing is about getting rid of people who don't support Trump. It's not about efficiency - that is the fake reason 🤪
When did the average person start supporting the idea that tax cuts for the rich is a good thing?
Even if we continue with a progressive scale system, they can afford it. 50% of $1m is still a good income. Median income usually is marginally livable but still taxed. Below is outright oppression.
History shows that democracy isn’t lost unless people give up on it. The fact that so many are mobilizing against authoritarian overreach means the fight is far from over. Hope isn’t just about believing things can change, but making sure they do. Now is the time for action.
Wait till the billionaires tax cut hits. Americans are gonna feel it.
The red state voters that see him as a businessman will certainly feel different from the stroke of their pen at the ballot. Of course this is assuming that we’ll ever have elections again? Please Mr. Putin may I use the restroom?
In my opinion, their plan is to give themselves huge tax break, then when we and our economy is really struggling they will force the 4 trillion debt limit raise.
It’s not the Republican party of years gone by that I respected. Until the echo chambers of media conversion/convene to a consistent voice of reason the American people are going to constantly be polarized. I’m hoping some of the Fox News contributors get a spine
EXPLAINED: Trump Wants To Send $5K DOGE Dividend Checks [for us to blow on Corporate AmeriKa consumer crap]: 'What’s the point of having 5K if flying isn’t safe, diseases keep spreading, DJT sells Public Lands/Public Trusts to BILLIONAIRES, and society is unstable?' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8laCTHrG4w
Yeah, their logic is baffling because the rich don’t need it. They’re destroying thousands of lives for cuts that are just drops in the bucket compared to those tax breaks.
Around the same time they thought asking for a PERMANENT $4.5T tax break AND ALSO $350M in extra funds for the border and other government programs (this happened yesterday)
The country's largest corporations saw their effective tax rate drop from 22% to 12.8% after the Trump tax act. Maybe we could have kept a few of those dollars and paid down some debt. Just sayin.
You have less than 3 week left to let them know.

Tax cuts skewed to rich : $4.5T
Spending cuts : $1.5T after increase of $325B in Defense/Border
Other cuts in programs including Medicare & Medicaid : $2T
Mortgage Interest Deduct gone
Does not include tariffs.
The NEW AMERICAN ORDER = the GOP mantra of the past 5+ decades :
Keep 'em poor, afraid, ignorant, armed and pregnant.
Now contains sick & malnurished & substance-dependant additives.
This term's specials are increased mortality and decreased safety.
Limit one death per customer.
Trump cronies fired nuclear scientists now changed their mind, but can find them anywhere also fired the FAA specialists yield to many airplanes crashed, also they fired the NIH scientists and bird flue is killing Americans unfortunately they cannot find them either to bring them back..etc…
“Our popular Government has often been called an experiment. Two points in it our people have already settled – the successful establishing and the successful administering of it. One still remains – its successful maintenance against a formidable internal attempt to overthrow it.” Lincoln
When the worst of the worst of those rich became in charge. Folks they want you bankrupt they want you to lose everything. They wanna buy your homes out from under you and rent them back out to you. They don’t care about planes going down cause they don’t want you to travel they want you
Working in their factories and their clothing stores and their fast food joints, they don’t want scientist anymore because they want you to stay weak and sick and uneducated. They want you well and educated just enough to be the worker ants and their billionaire factories
This is why the bands for women have started. They want us back to the 1950s because how else are they supposed to keep us sick uneducated and weak if we’re not also actively over populating the planet to keep up with their destruction of us this is what they are. 
This is their way of breaking the people so badly that it sends shockwaves that people won’t know how to respond to people won’t know how to fight back. That’s why they’re vigorously moving as quickly as they are. They wanna knock you off your feet and unstable you so that they can finish it off
Before you even have a chance to get back on your feet, this is why it is so crucial for people and other countries like myself in Canada to continue to stand with those Americans who are against this fascism who voted against what is going on in the White House right now we cannot as a society
Globally turn our backs on those Americans who are essentially in enemy territory. The United States is now considered an enemy, but we have allies within who can continue to fight for the justice that is so desperately needed, and if we lump them in with the rest of the America.
When the Supreme Court decided Citizens United--that is when billionaires could spread their propaganda far and wide and completely perverted politics to the upside-down world we find ourselves in today.
Exactly. 70% of $1bn is $300m take home. Poor rich what will they ever do on so little.
Everyone at or below median of around $50k is one accident away from bankruptcy or worse.
Adding on a random tidbit. You can buy a personal Airbus A320 executive jet (yes the 110+ seat jet) scaled to fly 19 or so in total luxury for about $200m. So how would that be a huge sacrifice for them. They can still afford toys.
Careful. People are sick of your entitlement to other peoples money. Civil servants treat their federal jobs less like service and more like some kind of civil right. People are starting to resent arrogant, entitled Federal workers who have some of the cushiest jobs in the nation.
Don’t you know by now? Rich people don’t pay taxes. Just as Trump he’ll tell you. Last time he ran he told all the loyal republicans that he never paid taxes.

Having high marginal tax creates an incentive for the business to invest in itself. We have precedence for this.
Lowering their taxes doesn't trickle it down. They do stock buybacks. We have precedence for this.
Pay the national debt first, then cut taxes.

I’m so disgusted with republicans.
Trust fund kids, run our planet.
Not one person in power is there on their own merits.
So who’s really in control?
Drugs or?
lol what morons, wonder if they will wake up.

How does this sustain their wealth?
Ronnie Raygun fired them!
Ended Financial Democracy in the United States.
