Because America pretends to be a land of opportunity, but it’s a cruel land. It was founded by a bunch of rich white land owners who didn’t want to pay taxes. What is happening now is probably the most American thing ever. Government taken over by rich white men who don’t want to pay taxes.
Could we just start an anti-billionaire msg campaign?
- Do you think billionaires care about you?
- Billionaires only care about themselves.
- Why does the GOP only care about b’s?
- Why does the GOP keep giving tax breaks to b’s?
- Do you think b’s need more tax breaks?
I get 1100 per month, which is garnished 65% (the max they can levy) for child support. I obviously had to get a job so i worked a bunch and now they're trying to kick me off disability. I have a pacemaker and a defibrillator in my chest and really can't work as much as i need to. They want us dead.
Crazed socialist here. I want income cap”—amount when reached would be sufficient for earner. Excess goes back into society to provide services for those in need. To blame people for their own poverty frees people from obligation to help & justifies amassing obscene wealth. That creates monsters.
Because one is a publicly funded through SSA and the other is self-funded due to merit and achievement. This is a weird comparison… Bluesky suggests the strangest questions.
We've been sold this neo-con trickle down bullshit since Reagan took the oath. Neo-con Dem dipshits got on board and have been silent for a couple decades, on raising taxes on the rich. Nancy and Paul Pelosi have made a $100 million on military weapons manufacturer stock trades. Corrupt as shit.
Thats crazy, can almost see where they come from on income cap but a savings cap is downright cruel. Imagine punishing somebody for being frugal and building a nest egg for emergencies. I didn't know about this & I'm sorry to hear.
The more I hear about this America the less I want to be born here.
The idea is that they want you to be permanently destitute to be eligible for the help. The thinking is that if you can make money, or save it, you don't need the help, so you can't get it.
This sounds like some kind of straw man argument. There is no limit to the amount a disabled person can make as income. It is unrelated to over-compensation of executives or other greed and inequity. Did i misunderstand you?
Yes, you did. In the US, you have an income and asset limit to qualify for, and to remain eligible every month, Medicaid. For those on Medicare, you lose money from your benefits if you make over a certain amount.
Makes you wonder right? Does it make you feel less important? As sure as the day is long, ultra rich care about you and me just about as much as when they wipe their ass.
As Elon Musk’s DOGE chainsaws through federal agencies with budget and staff cuts, Tesla and SpaceX, cornerstones of his wealth, continue to benefit from public money. They probably wouldn’t have succeeded without it.
Because the rich designed this country and have run it since 1776. Lucky most of us aren't all slaves. New way to get justice and equality as an American - Migrate.
Wonder why two billionaires, one the richest man in the world, the other a rich President of the USA, want to dismantle and tear down the system that made them incredibly wealthy? How is that system broken? It is, but at the top, not the bottom

NO MORE WELFARE FOR THE RICH!
There are also asset caps.
So even if they make under the income cap, if they have assets over the cap, they will not qualify.
They put disabled people in what I call Forced Poverty (without even Marriage Equality!), while they keep raising prices with Greedflation.
Something has to give.

DEMOCRATS MOTTO-“Everyone matters”
