Raise taxes on the wealthy and stop giving ICE goons raises 

 

How wealthy is wealthy?  Raise it how much?

 

We have a $1.8 trillion deficit in 2025 according to the budget office.  We have 735 billionaires in the US.  Even if each one paid a billion in taxes we'd still be a trillion short.  

 

Sounds good, but how do you see this penciling out?

As we used to say, we have to pass it to find out what's in it.

Thank goodness it seems like the Dems got a decent social media strategist on board.

Hear me out, maybe just maybe, if you need to rely on snap to survive, you probably aren't living correctly.

If this is authoritarianism, what do you consider the covid lockdowns imposed by the Biden administration to be?

I didn’t agree with lockdowns or mandates. I’m not sure why Trump hasn’t let us know where the virus came from or why Epstein was murdered either.  Get what’s happening cupcake?  Why haven’t they stopped all vaccination yet?  What does Biden have to do with passing a bill that states the White House doesn’t have to adhere to court rulings?   I don’t worship a party like you do. That’s the difference between us oh and you’re not good at critical thinking. Cause Trump leaning towards autocratic rule has nothing to do with senile Biden for me.

Right? It’s like Covid magically appeared on January 20, 2021, and everything before that just got memory holed. Incredible how selective amnesia works.

@B-Man doesn’t want you focused on the real issues - he’d rather distract you with outrage over Pride and LGBTQ+ people, pretending they’re the root of everyday Americans’ problems.

Something’s seriously wrong with you - couldn’t find a fresh Covid headline to distract yourself and help you sleep at night?

I've seen many people fall into poverty after losing their job because of downsizing, have their husband or wife die on them, or a major illness or accident makes it impossible for them to work.  These people do literally need SNAP to survive.  If it wasn't for these benefits you'd have to have swat teams at every grocery store.  Not many kids at 10 years old think when I grow up I want to become dependent on leaching off the government.  That's not to say that their aren't people out there that are content and lazy living off the government teet, but I think that's overly stated by Republicans to win elections. 

 

You could look at it another way.  There's an income threshold for those able to receive snap benefits or other types of welfare.  This threshold means that people who work 40 hours a week at minimum federal wage will still be able to collect SNAP benefits.  Places like McDonalds, Wal Mart, and Costco's continue to benefit off this because most of their employees make minimum wage or a little bit above.  Looking at it from that angle taxpayers we are subsidizing these big companies because they don't pay enough for the average worker not to be eligible for SNAP benefits.
