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!
Let’s see here, just a few lives to be inconvenienced…or thousands of lives ruined? The wrecking ball slams through social programs just for the rich vultures to lay claim on the wreckage below.
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.
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.
When one of the two parties decided the American government was finally for sale as a whole. Used to be you could buy bits and pieces to help what every industry you were steeling wages from to make profit. 2024 the billionaires decided to go all in on GOP and the greedy bootlickers saw $$$$
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.
Proposed GOP budget :
Debt ceiling +$4T
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 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.
Alright we're getting somewhere. Why are you only mad at democrats? Republicans always run a deficit and have added plenty to the debt, are you not angry about them wasting your money?
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.

Thank Citizens United
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?
