No that’s why I clarified foreign spending instead of domestic

How about a wealth tax for people with over $10 million dollars of assets

How about tripling the size of the IRS (or more) so that the government actually gets what it’s supposed to

How about cutting foreign defense spending

How about increasing the corporate tax rate even just a little bit

Or only paying social security to people who need it

Or getting rid of insanely wasteful farm subsidies

But yes, I think we actually agree, that people who come here need to be paid a fair wage. That was really my point. When people talk about immigration to fix labor shortages, they almost always mean minimum wage or thereabouts (or even lower like for farm workers).

Yes exactly, thank you.

Why do they need immigrants? There are people here now who need jobs, they can do it.

If I hear “immigrants will accept lower wages” one more fucking time I’m going to lose it, that’s just an intentional creation of a lower class, it’s feudalistic and coercive. Same thing with farm labor. Pay a reasonable amount and local people will do it.

Ro Laren though

Kinda looks like an older kiefer sutherland

No I’m killing it. I have a dog and she loves me, and my partner and I have a wonderful life together.

But on npr this morning they said wage growth has outpaced inflation

You guys are sad all the time???

The truly rich would be fine. They don’t pay income tax, they live off of capital gains.

That’s just punishing people at the top of the working class. Doctors, lawyers, etc.

Tax cuts for the rich are capital gains tax cuts and corporate tax cuts.

Income tax cuts don’t impact them, broadly.

Can we do mandatory civil service instead

Like that would actually help people, building infrastructure, national parks, gaining skills and trades, maybe helping reduce obesity

Kind of

I thought Gotham city in Batman is supposed to be Detroit

Someone explain to me how this would benefit the rich. The rich don’t pay income tax.

It’s in New York??? I thought it was a Detroit thing. Then why do we have Coney Island hot dogs??

Behold, a man!

I’m playing “sell my switch on Craigslist”

Basically none of us should be paying taxes until people with net worths above 50 million dollars pay theirs.

How are they going to know it wasn’t Ukraine

Just fucking sink them
