We could have housed every veteran, fed every child, nursed every senior. But we never have, because for the people at the top, it's not their problem, it's someone else's.
The funny thing is, that would create so much shareholder value for so many companies, but it’s easier to exploit people for more immediate gains so we don’t do it.
I've lived in several countries, and sometimes, public ownership of critical industries/social functions isn't always a bad thing. Should health care be a public service or a for-profit shit show?
Someone said it here - there is no reason for insurance. Its sole purpose is to deny services and be a vulture-like middleman between providers and patients
The undocumented pay taxes. Deportation will cost us a lot of revenue from people who get no benefits back. No one is setting them up with houses or healthcare, as anyone who works in civil service at the county level can tell you.
Exactly. They are SO compassionate. They should think on Thanksgiving about the Native Americans who welcomed the white illegal immigrants onto their shores, provided them food and shelter on that day. Hindsight, they should have deported them all back to England.
Migrants Pay Billions Into Social Security-Seniors Receive Now, Migrants Don’t Get Soc.Sec. Migrants Are Farmers/Food Factories Labor Force. Construction Workers/ Building Homes. FEMA Labor-Clear Destruction/Rebuild. Hospitality/Child Care Industry Labor. Now Remove Them- PAY MORE/Bankrupt S.S.!
Homeless People Living on the Streets:
Politician: Look at that starved man that my competitor isn't helping.
The Homeless Man: This was my choice; I pay less taxes this way. I'm eating healthier too.
It’s brilliant in-group out-group messaging. They weren’t never gonna do the second half of the promise, they just needed it to get the first half done. Whatever it takes, in this case, lying.
Sums it up but it's definitely worth saying out loud.
The people who say we should 'look after our own', are exactly the same people who claim there is no poverty in the UK and that people should 'cancel their Netflix account or eat less avocados' if they're struggling!
Whenever people say we have to look after our own first. It's always with the implication that someone else has to pay.
Oh PS. Now we're not paying for them I deserve a tax cut.
Here in UK one of the previous conservative governments immigration ministers had the disney murals in the immigration centre painted over as he believed they made the place too welcoming……..
So me as an immigrant, that pays taxes (to include property taxes) and contribute into society shouldn't be allowed to be here? What about the Americans that don't pay shit? Bffr
I mean... in their defense, it is easier to say "eff off" to 1 person than it is to say that to hundreds. It may be that deporting illegals might free resources, and that may mean those resources can be pilfered by the "bourgeoise", but it still means less mouths to feed.
Actually legal immigrants can usually find a job but illegal immigration is a burden on the system. Until that problem is taken care of nobody knows if the second part of your illustration is accurate.
35% of my property taxes go to feed the homeless. The taxes that working people pay to give free food to people who never work or will work a day in their lives is outrageous.
Real talk though. Those billions sent abroad could have knocked out student debt AND helped the poor. (Current admin didnt do jack and still doesn't) But here we are, now the focus will be back on the US. Enjoy the next 4 years - you'll be okay.
We have a visa program to bring in foreigners to work agriculture jobs because the industry doesn't have enough workers.
They literally feed people lol
Undocumented migrants paid 26 billion into social security in 2022 and will never receive the benefits. Total taxes paid by undocumented migrants in 2022 was $96.7 billion that Americans will benifits from and you want to deport them. Genious.
I’m reminded of Dubya’s bragging about his belief in Conservative Compassion. I recall one wag defining that as, “ I feel your pain, I just don’t care.”
Appropriate.
We don't have immigration problem in California. We'd love our immigrate from wherever they help us in our farms and work for our families and do hard jobs. We will protect our people. Nice to see you man.
Sounds so much like the UK .... Blame immigrant asylum seekers and refugees for everything . It's farcical that the biggest grifters the Royal family pay no tax and Prince William wants to end homelessness & the Reform party carry on blaming immigrants . #21stcenturyUK
You should have made your point clearer. I do appreciate the auto and video stimulation though. I'll give you a 2 out of 10 on it just because it seems like you are just randomly writing and posting things. The 2 points is because you used the correct spelling of you're.
There's no point in arguing with someone who's being an idiot on purpose. I could explain to you why the Democratic party and Republican party aren't the same and how the Republican party doesn't give half a fuck about feeding people, but it be just as useful as trolling and posting this shit.
So who do you think represents the people ? We don’t have enough on our own plates that we hand out food, housing, finances and security to those those who are no even citizens !
How doesn't it? Logic circle there. You have to look at it without bringing bias into it. If it had some labels to help people know what it is meant to mean I would have graded it higher. As is it can be interpreted either way depending on your experiences in life.
I tried to look at it without bias. However. I interpreted the little guy as a child and the other an adult. So I saw both as uncaring about the plight of others
The Biden administration has constant pushed for labour laws, increasing the minimum wage, tax cuts for the poor and increased money to schools and their lunches. Idk if that can be construed as a “fuck off”
I hate getting into political facts because the reality is what most people think they know are half truths (my opinion). Trump wants to end taxes on Social security but that doens't make your whole point null.
Blaming Biden for shit that's not even close to the truth is the reason why this country is fucked up and voting in the people who will only screw us over while enriching themselves and their wealthy benefactors.
Like Big Oil, Elon Musk, the media, anyone whom isn't in the back pockets of the GOP?
imho both represent both because neither side actually changes anything fundamentally, the status quo reigns supreme and both dems and reps bow down to big money and foreign dictators
I don't know. How about the billions spent on illegal immigrants these last four years. Or the billions sent to Ukraine. Maybe it's the fact that VA coverage has decreased over the last three years or the tens of thousands of US citizens living on the streets that have skyrocketed under Biden. Maybe
An interesting story about the new development for the native and immigrant Americans who both have a lot to fear 🙀😨 for the coming government.
But at the same time I found the updated and straight description of the capitalist Zionism for all the amazing citizens of the US.
Exactly this. "America First" is the same crowd that screams "Hell NO" to veterans care funding, free school breakfasts and lunches, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, etc. But when it comes to tax cuts, it's all "Gimme gimme gimme".
People are paying taxes. Those taxes are used on illegals.. Since that money is used on illegals .. government doesn’t have anything for you. Sorry but this is misleading .. will report
If only we all can see ourselves as one big family! Not being lost and priding in momentary thrills and perceived victories....we are missing the forest for the trees ( cli·ché )

and as my heart aches for you, i genuinely hope you find moments to "have a blast" in celebration the finer things in life amidst this sorrow

Kids: "But we're being shot in school by other kids with guns."
Republicans: "Hey...shit happens, kid."
This makes no sense.
We are the most charitable nation in the world.
Local state & municipal governments are to blame for homelessness and hunger.
You have to review the 10th and stop depending on the federal government for things they aren't supposed to do.
Talk to state and local
So 🤷♀️
Politician: Look at that starved man that my competitor isn't helping.
The Homeless Man: This was my choice; I pay less taxes this way. I'm eating healthier too.
Again, you were talking about white people.
I said it sounds racist.
Own it
The people who say we should 'look after our own', are exactly the same people who claim there is no poverty in the UK and that people should 'cancel their Netflix account or eat less avocados' if they're struggling!
Oh PS. Now we're not paying for them I deserve a tax cut.
Great country, amirite?
They literally feed people lol
You are all suffering from the Woke Mind Virus and need to try to cure yourselves.
Appropriate.
Republicans: no. It will make them weak.
I can't see the difference
Kind of hard to do anything when your political opponents prevent you from doing anything.
Um...no.
That would be *Trump*, Muskrat, and everyone else in the GOP?
Unless you're rich...? You're as fucked as the rest of us right now.
I see your point of view and it is very valid.
We're both going to suffer egregiously because of this.
Only because people sold out America for cheaper gas and groceries?
Like Big Oil, Elon Musk, the media, anyone whom isn't in the back pockets of the GOP?
Which means, people like me who have Social Security (and 80M others) will no longer be getting a check each month?
So what's the plan for that? Kick everyone out into the streets?
"I don't abide by the rules like an NPC!"
(crashes into lorry)
But at the same time I found the updated and straight description of the capitalist Zionism for all the amazing citizens of the US.
"I love and care for all of America! Except for people in need. They should've fixed their problem before it even started."
Why aren’t women having more kids??
