Silly me, but Biden, Kamala, AOC, and Bernie actually ran on this🤔🤷🏻♀️, for the last 8 years and forward. Sooo the democratic policies are finally popular, now that it affects them. I’m shocked. (Sarcasm)
The working class is starting to understand they don't owe their lives to the wealthy. A lot of people used to say, "Well if it weren't for the billionaires, we wouldn't have a job." They hired people because they needed to. If they could run their businesses w/out people, they would, & they will
He's that clueless that he's surprised that's what the people want?! Are all GOP reps this out of touch? I just assumed they knew and were ignoring us. I mean we've been calling their offices and telling them,for crying out loud.
Maggots are Not so much out of touch (those are dems) MAGGOTS just follow the P2025 narrative no matter what because for them the reward is coming one way or another.
He was actually surprised by their chant. It was as if he had never heard the suggestion before, and the more they yelled it, he looked like he was thinking it over.
Ive seen that figure around lately. Prem Sikka maybe? I think that’s proportion of their take home compared to the high 30’s with lesser earners (37% I think)
Either way, anyone that works for their money is (usually) not “the rich.”
Earn well they may, but wealth is not made via PAYE.
Well his question of the crowd seems to me like he gets it, LOL. Tax the fucking rich. Republicans always want to solve everything on the backs of the poor, the people that can help the least. You fucking Republicans are the ones responsible for fascism in America. Stop sucking billionaire dick
They want your votes but also need the billionaire's money to fund their campaign for your votes. Policy is influenced by who can get them elected. Not by the will of the people who voted for them. Billionaires give them a fat donation, so they'll tax you more and not them.
It wasn't always this way- and it wasn't always as bad. Well before Reagan took a piss on us with trickle down, we were reigning in corporations well, taxing them appropriately. Money didn't run everything the way it does now.
We have to legislate so that money is inversely proportional to power.
And that’s when America was starting its “great” phase. Corporations were paying their fair share, they were being held accountable for pollution and incentivized to clean up, and BIPOC were finally being heard through the Civil Rights Act. The social-economic revolution was in full swing
Jealous! My senators sold their souls, routinely post pro Trump propaganda on their socials while every constituent tears them a new one in comments, and ghost their town halls.
Honestly, as someone who was rounded up as a child and held in an internment camp with the rest of your innocent families, friends, and ppl of Japanese culture, do you REALLY think it can't get that much worse?
Wait until these town halls have Nazi SS roll up armed
The democratic party deliberately stabbed him in the back. In the most obvious way possible. He easily could have beaten trump in 20 for sure&again in 24. In stabbing Bernie in the back in 20, we got trump again. It's a miracle Joe won. Candidates must toe the party line
He says that as if he's never heard a crazier thing in his whole life! These "leaders" are so out of touch with reality it's just insane that these are human beings with the emotional inteligence of a gnat.
I live in Omaha and Flood went to ruby red Columbus, NE. May republicans here in Nebraska refused to debate or do town halls but and any who does, it's via zoom and only their supporters.

They could just increase worker salaries to the same or higher level than prices have increased and we in the normal population could afford to pay more in taxes. High net worth businesses/individuals can’t not pay workers and not pay taxes, it has to be one or the other or both, if not collapse
Just make sure if you click the article you have something else to do while you wait for the ads and content to load. I'd tell you how long but haven't made it through without giving up yet
How out of touch do you have to be to legitimately ask the crowd of people fearing for their livelihood, “tax the rich is your solution?” Did he expect them to jump up and say “excellent point sir! It was naive for us to ask such a thing!”
Given what we just witnessed in the Senate, I understand why they stayed home- those Democratic Senators that voted w/ Maga. I thought I couldn’t get more angry/disappointed than post-election
I bet that Elon and the Incels, who are hooked into the SS computer systems, are going to stop all payments within a few weeks. They have been gearing us up for it for a few days.
How and who will enforce the court's order???? They already ignored a court order to not deport people to El Salvador.
These are not normal rimes. WAKE UP!!! RESIST. DON'T OBEY IN ADVANCE!!!
But what if he doesn't follow the court order? He has already taken to social media claiming that judges don't have power over him, White House barbie repeats the lie. What happens if the administration doesn't follow the law?
I saw that. That judge is still trying to get information out of the administration, isn't he? Clearly the administration doesn't respect the law, or the courts as arbiters of the law, so where does that leave the courts? And the people who rely on the law being followed?
Join the fight for democracy! 🗳️ On Saturday, April 5, 2025, stand up against corruption and reclaim our voice. Join nation-wide protests & sit-ins in all 50 states. Let's make a difference together!
A Republican townhall in a red state and the crowd is screaming to tax the rich...
And yet, some democrat politicians have the nerve to tell you this populist uprising isn't about the economy. That going after the rich is a losing issue. -.-
Flood's just demonstrating why he's part of the magat party of ignorance, arrogance, and heartlessness. Come on, Nebraska, you can do better than this!
I'm not a Democrat but I care about veterans, has been my favorite quote from the Maga town hall meltdowns, it was he just caught on that Republicans, don't care about anything but staying in power.
Philadelphia coming through!!!! There is now an official flyer for Orange Turd's visit to attend the NCAA Wrestling championship this weekend! 🙌 Everyone show up and Turn up!
Let me guess, they were ALL Democrat paid agitators, right?
And so are 11,000 people at the AOC/Sanders rally, right?
This is a GOLDEN opportunity for the Democrats to show they actually do care about the working class - hold rallies and town halls in every GOP-held city, as often as possible.
The town hall i was at, for anyone who spoke they had us state our first name and our zip code so the "paid actors" line couldn't be used. Which is funny because the only paid actor i saw there was one person in a mask having no identifying marks but a sign saying the dems were all paid for
The US's infrastructure was built primarily when the rich paid a good amount in taxes. We keep cutting their taxes and now our infrastructure is struggling. Those are connected
I will never understand that a tax of such a small magnitude to billionaires that won't affect their lives at all is so hard for them? How fucking utterly selfish! Who raised these cretins?
Especially since they are the ones bitching about the deficit but yet never cut their billionaire tax cuts. Just keep cutting from things essential to Americans. That won’t fly. People have had it with this shit
Seems he was sent a clear message from his constituents. However, he’ll bend a knee to president Musk and ignore their demand. Then they will re-elect him.
He's my Rep. And he deserves EVERY BOO.
Supports Ukraine, AND bitched Zelensky wasn't ass kissing.
Supports SS, and promises no cuts. But supports DOGE.
Generic GOP MAGAt only slightly younger than most---got that same super nerdish square head, coke bottle bottom glasses, dork haircut, obese unathletic body, and sniveling voice.
Corporations and those with plenty of money oppose unions. Because with a unionized workforce, they are less likely to be able to pay low wages and skimp on employee benefits. Bringing jobs back to America ain’t going to change the way they look at their workers.
I watched this dickhead in realtime and he definitely is a completely different reality .. peeps need to start throwing things at him and the other GOP’s in their town halls, on the street and in each and every shopping malls .. especially with his comments about president Zelenskyy and the whole ..
“HE NEEDED TO SAY THANK YOU TO TRUMP” in the now infamous Trump blowup in the Oval Office news conference .. unfuckingbelievable the stupidity of this guy and the rest of Trump’s administration and congressional ass
lickers ……
Just the typical America hating republiCON they serve the greedy rich racist parasites and throw America under the bus while they wage war on the rest of us
In order to pay taxes you have to make money. It is a privilege to pay taxes! It is a princely privilege to live in the USA. We must not abandon our beliefs for fear of retribution. We must stand up for the constitution.
Well, a simple return to the tax rates in effect during the Clinton presidency would solve most of the problems.
Remember the rich still don’t pay taxes. Instead tax exemptions are allowed for beneficial social programs (like childcare), charitable organizations & high growth business ventures.
Actually for many of us,this is part of the soul of the Democratic Party. For traditional FDR New Deal Dems, this is what it means to be a Dem. The Economic Bill of Rights should define who we want to be, and the world we want to have.
It's sad, and being hit hard by reality does not change anything. There are a lot of people who lose everything in life due to their own actions and on their deathbed still have no regrets
Yes, we can never underestimate the stubborn and pig headed that feels marginalized. Reasonably or not, they are a force that must be maneuvered around instead of smashed aside. Martyr’s are even more of a problem than dummies.
A true plus the idea that Christian martyred on his baked into the culture doesn't help. I am a very religious Christian. We have not been victims in the US, I don't think ever.
No & hopefully never. I’m a moderate Christian but i think church & state being separated WAS what made 🇺🇸 great. If one sect is allowed to influence policies, it makes the others feel marginalized or worse splinter into little sects & cults. We should trust what was built by the like-minded in NA.
Exactly. My brother doesn’t want to healthcare at the VA to be impacted. But he wants to be right and he can’t imagine being wrong about anything. He’s always been a “constitutional libertarian” so he couldn’t vote the same way as his sister. And everything is fine because he’s never wrong.
I have a brother just like this. Even though he's getting everything he wants and is incredibly unhappy he is still somehow correct they're just not doing it in the way that he would do it which would do it without any consequences for anyone he likes
Yeah. My brother is losing access to some of his healthcare providers, but he sure showed me. I guess I learned something.
I learned that I was right again.
I swear it’s an oligarch plan for world domination….They’re like a disease spreading across all continents. Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg & Murdoch have monetary influence & power across the globe. 🌍 The smug oligarch faces all smiles at trump’s inauguration gala. They were pleased with their purchase
The true power is with the people. Without the people, the rich have nothing. That is why MUSK is crying. The power of the people is squeezing him dry. May he wind up petrified.
Senator Thune & Speaker Johnson, do your job! Stop Trump before he weakens the U.S. by dismantling the government. He’s preparing to declare martial law, claiming the Supreme Court is illegitimate. He wants absolute power. Defend democracy now!
With voters in both parties pissed at who they elected, it seems like a great time to run as an Independent or Third party candidate. Get your feet wet in the mid terms and throw all these "leaders" out in 2028.
I can completely understand him being upset and really even a little pissed off. People were not asking softball questions and many were heard saying mean words and mean words can hurt. ——- a snowflake
I have yet to see one capitulate. They tell you their opinion that DOGE is good, then they sit back and watch the electorate rage. They still were able to stand strong in their MAGA beliefs. THEIR TIME WILL COME.
Just taxing the rich won't eliminate the Federal Debt, but it's the start to what must happen.
I and I think most folks don't want to take all their money, just a "fair share", and frankly I and again I think most folks don't think they are paying a fair share in taxes. Corporations aren't either.

I couldn’t agree more. There is a protest planned in April 4th. You have to tell as many people as you can to be there. My wife got inspired about this and made a video. Either use this link or go to my profile. America must stand up, enough is enough.
Here is the link:
Notice the ones in the crowd NOT reacting or saying anything, other than that MAGAT in his red hat, trying to heckle someone. These are poor ass people with probably less than 5k in their bank and they don't agree with taxing the rich. Fucking CULT.
I've seen this and he seems incredulous, like taxing the rich is somehow sacrosanct, some kind of aberration to the good order and discipline of the universe.
Sounds like a capital idea to me but perhaps I'm an anarchist
Apparently majority of the crowd were were paid actors and democrats…..one clue who said that 🤦♂️ Here’s a hint it rhymes with Ronald Dump, which also nicely describes his presidency
Thank you George. You're a national treasure. I hope that when good wins, and we will win, you get whatever the civilian equivalent is to the Congressional Medal of Honor. Again, thank you.
My only concern with trumps assessment of who is making all the noise is that he will most assuredly use that as an excuse to turn our military against us or even delay elections out of “concern for public safety in the wake of all this unrest”. Other dictators have used that same excuse.
Oh no, they listened too well. This is what they wanted as well and despite all their crocodile tears now, don’t be fooled. They are every bit as horrible inside as the people they vote for.
I am not surprised by the actions of this hateful, racist culture we are forced to live in and be a part of. Yet, I am still always disappointed in our people collectively. There is/was a hope they would choose the right path. This daily onslaught is hard to wake up to.
To be clear, Nebraska gave 4 of its 5 electoral votes to the despot. No pity for buyers' remorse. There are no returns and no refunds. All sales were final and catastrophic.
Thank you! I appreciate you! I live in a swing state that voted for the despot. I have neighbors who still fly the despot's flag. I know what it's like to feel like a voice crying in the wilderness. But we must soldier on!
Well done Nebraska. Time to start doing this to Labour MPs in the UK and politicians everywhere. Why should ordinary people pay taxes to subsidize the super-rich? Madness…
As a Nebraskan who has spent a whole lot of time in Columbus… the crowd response is impressive because the people who live there are extreme right politically. I’m extremely angry they voted Trump in, but hoping they’ve changed gears and will continue to push back.
The late Mr. Rogers said that in dark times we should "look for the helpers". It's good to see that they're out there. I'm mentally disabled relying on SSI, and it does feel like pirates are gambling with my benefits at a casino. It's all so messed up.
Reason some GOPers Abandoned Trump went to some of the Sanders Rallies, because knew well Centrists to MAGA Chuds in our Government were pandering to the Billionaires and even like Chuck Schumer voted to give Trump & Musk more power, that is not cool, reason the members of Government are called out.

Like, “tax the rich” isn’t some crazy out-there idea, it’s not hyperbole like “eat the rich.”
It’s a basic - fairly popular - policy for easing at least a bit of wealth inequality. Have they really never heard such a thing?
Either way, anyone that works for their money is (usually) not “the rich.”
Earn well they may, but wealth is not made via PAYE.
The leopards will be eating lots of faces soon.
We have to legislate so that money is inversely proportional to power.
Mark Kelly is amazing
He actually drew the solar system on the street for the neighborhood kids during Covid.

That's when you know it's worse.
Why aren't americans sharpening their guillotines right now?
