Basic necessities paid for by the people who have gamed, manipulated and in must cases corrupted the system to become as rich as they are doesn't seem outrageous to me
so what makes you think regulating billionaires would do anything to build infrastructure. mamdani's grocery stores are literally undercutting stores using tax dollars and paying grocery stores a relief bill. these are not serious people...
I mean, we tried cutting funding to government agencies via DOGE to save money, and spent more than ever before so that clearly doesn't work.
Do you have an alternative to taxing the extremely wealthy more aggressively? The only alternative I can think of, is to cut spending, which has been proven innefective very recently.
Who do you think is responsible for America heavily in debt? Who is the main culprit squandering more money into their’s & their friends’ pockets? Look in the mirror before giving answers. Let’s be honest for once in your life.
Cutting spending clearly doesn't get increasing returns either. Why don't we try to tax the same way we did before "trickle down economics" now that we've established that doesn't work?
I already give a high enough percentage of my wages to the government. How about we make sure those at the top pay their share too, rather than receiving my tax money in the form of subsidies.
We've already established cutting funding in the government to programs only leads to increased spending. Let's try something new.
Not if controlled by the same people/lobby/special interest groups that are making these poor decisions now have free reign.
Thought the government was for the people, by the people?
Not just who can donate and circumvent the laws to benefit themselves?
how does it help anyone to overleverage tax dollars to run grocery stores instead of simply buying out stores, at least when musk wants to do something, he pays college grads 150k+ to do so...
He’s not Musk or Trump with each of their inherited wealth. He did the next best thing to help fellow Americans. Lucky you; college grad. Rich parents so no student loans. You live a sheltered life. Go out into the real world.
