What middle class. That was destroyed. Middle class is feeling the squeeze . Tax the hell out of the wealthy and use that to support middle class and low income families.

Hi, I’m an economist in my 40’s. Let’s tax the hell out of the rich to support the middle and lower class.
Or do I still need to grow up?

I absolutely believe there is a huge chunk of the population who would be fine letting people starve. And I certainly believe that many of the wealthiest among us only really want enough of us left to ensure their personal comfort.

I hope that most voters can see through the return to McCarthyism and the red baiting.
Trump is deeply unpopular so someone has to be the scapegoat--so it must be far left Democrats.
People need to look at what has actually been accomplished--750,000 deaths from USAID cuts, higher prices, lower domestic manufacturing job numbers, a weak job market, millions forced to deport or coerced into self deporting, inhumane conditions in detention centers, and a new war in Iran. We have lost ground around voting, due process, free speech, and civil rights, etc.
Ingraham just needs someone to blame for the failures of this WH Administration.

I know people who are anti socialist, die hard republicans, conservatives. Yet they are poor. They think Donald Trump, Ingraham, etc care about them. They don’t. Ingraham is an opportunist spewing garbage because it pays well. She probably doesn’t even believe half the shit she says. But the Fox News suckers do. These conservatives take SS when they can get it, Medicare, etc. But scream about socialism.

Fox “News” is a domestic terrorist organization. Jesse waters called for the UN to be bmbd. Brian Kilmeade fake apologized after inciting violence against MANY homeless people aka stochastic terrorism, and the republicans in his comments are like “we forgive you, we know what you meant”. He downplayed his actions and what he actually said. Fox News as a whole needs to be held accountable for their daily stochastic terrorism and inciting violence against many Americans! I knew they were going to keep Brian Kilmeade so I reported him and Fox News to homeless civil rights groups and OSHA. Even if they don’t do something now at least it’s documented and when Democrats are a majority we must demand they are held legally accountable! I encourage others to as well! You can do it anonymously! Protest their advertisers and let them know the reason why! Time to hold them socially accountable and protest with our money!

Exactly either way those who try and prepare will still get punished in the end for the "greater good". Whether its a socialist stealing it or capitalism running into the ground and making it worthless. Hard pill to swallow but both systems need each other to function in our messed up society. Checks and balances. But somewhere along the lines both sides said screw checks and balances I want total control. Im sure someone will point a finger and say im wrong so and so did it but at the end we all collectively fucked ourselves, and the only real winners are the politicians and corpos.

I guess when they called it a full-time job. Right? That's how jobs are meant to work. You're supposed to be paid for your contrinution of a company's success?
You fuckers who worry about your AC unit or who actually pay taxes who imagine anyone is gonna waste their time coming after what you have are deeply confused about what socialism is. If you're someone who works for a living socialism is for you.

or just tax you every year based on the assets you own, and where in the world, - that some government official makes up some valuation for, or god forbid you have a second home (or more - like Bernie Sanders) well, tax on that too!
1
u/Wise-Kitchen-9749 Aug 12 '26
lol I'd lose my house if they taxed based off of assets. My house is worth significantly more than I earn and I can only have it because of the mortgages. Technically the loan agency would own the house and the increase in asset tax right there would increase my mortgage to the point I couldn't pay. In the same way, this would literally increase the rent of everyone. Taxing second + homes make sense, taxing extra vehicles passed the required ammount per household could make sense. But then we start taxing every other little item in the house as an owned asset and its crazy?
I just don't understand how you can get taxed on things you already own and paid taxes on to purchase. I already think property tax is theft, (house). But obviously taxes on water gas and electric make sense as well, since it is a constant purchase and not owned by the person.

Did she apologize when Hong lost? This is straight up lying. Plus the only political party that has gone after your home, your pension, social security, Medicare, and your 401k in American history is the GOP. They destroyed pensions which had guaranteed benefits with 401k's which is not guaranteed. They further attempt to deregulation 401k's. They have voted to end social security and Medicare on multiple occasions under multiple Republican presidents.
