The agitation on here from politicians who think Elon Musk should be taxed more in order to "help the poor" reminds me of these verses from the Gospel of John: 3 Mary therefore took a pound[a] of expensive ointment made from pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. 4 But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (he who was about to betray him), said, 5 “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii[b] and given to the poor?” 6 He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and having charge of the moneybag he used to help himself to what was put into it. (ESV)

YOU ARE NOT RACIST!!! ✔️ You are not racist for wanting to keep your culture. ✔️ You are not racist for wanting secure borders and legal immigration. ✔️ You are not racist for believing your country should put its own citizens first. ✔️ You are not racist for valuing merit, hard work, and equal opportunity over racial quotas. ✔️ You are not racist for wanting law and order instead of defunding the police. ✔️ You are not racist for teaching your children the history and greatness of Western civilization. ✔️ You are not racist for rejecting open borders that strain schools, hospitals, and wages. ✔️ You are not racist for celebrating Christmas, Easter, or your national traditions in public. ✔️ You are not racist for believing biology is real and men shouldn’t compete in women’s sports. ✔️ You are not racist for opposing indoctrination that tells kids they’re oppressors by birth. ✔️ You are not racist for wanting fair trade deals that protect American workers. ✔️ You are not racist for loving your heritage, your history, and your people. ✔️ You are not racist for wanting to KICKOUT those who can't assimilate and just cause trouble for your societies. YOU ARE NOT RACIST.. TEACH YOUR KIDS THAT TOO.. Stand proud. The West wasn’t built by guilt - it was built by courage, innovation, and shared values. Defend it unapologetically. Your ancestors earned it. Your children deserve it.

Nobody dies to rescue ppl from an imaginary danger Let that sink in The most loving Man who ever lived warned about hell more than anyone Even demons cried out in fear of coming judgment So before you dismiss Him, ask Why would Jesus warn about something that wasn’t real?

Here is context for people who actually care about that sort of thing… It was not Elon Musk personally taking a loan. It was Tesla Motors, the company, that received a $465 million loan from the U.S. Department of Energy in early 2010. The loan came from the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing program, created by Congress in 2007 under President George W. Bush. The goal was to support American companies building more fuel-efficient vehicles and create jobs. Tesla was not the only recipient. The same program gave much larger loans to other companies, including Ford for $5.9 billion and Nissan for about $1.4 to $1.6 billion. Fisker Automotive also received $529 million but later went bankrupt. In May 2013, Tesla repaid the full $465 million plus interest and prepayment penalties — nine years ahead of schedule. They used money from a successful stock offering. Taxpayers actually made a profit of roughly $12 to $26 million on the loan. Elon Musk publicly thanked the Department of Energy and American taxpayers at the time. Tesla used a program Democrats supported...they just used it far more successfully than other companies BTW, I don't support these kinds of government programs, but for the leftists that only hate them when it suits their political objectives… you're all shameless hypocrites that are only pissed. Because Elin doesn't carry water for the left the way Soros and Steyr do.

They don’t care for the poor. They just envy the rich.

You know, people should stop worrying about Elon becoming a trillionaire with his own money and start worrying about politicians becoming millionaires with our money!

If your church is flying a rainbow flag, it’s time to find a new one. Christians are called to be kind and accepting, but when a church openly defies God’s law, it can no longer faithfully lead His people.

Elon Musk is not stealing from you. Gavin Newsom is stealing from you. Karen Bass is stealing from you. Tim Walz is stealing from you. Elizabeth Warren is stealing from you. AOC is stealing from you. Becoming wealthy does not make you evil. The people who take from you, promising to fix problems and then enriching themselves while trying to get you to hate those they're taking the money from... are evil.

I hear about GenX and their toughness. No lie. But what isn't mentioned is the "shut up and sit down" message we were getting. Faith? Private. Questions? Trust the experts. Disagree? Shut up or you might offend someone. We're tired of shut up and sit down.

Meme update. None of your problems are because someone else is a trillionaire. Everything you complain about, rising prices, housing shortages, stagnant wages, is caused by inflation, unlimited government spending, artificially restricted supply, overregulation, and the government that creates all of it. But you want more of that because you’re too retarded to understand second order consequences.

Our American flag has flown over battlefields, hurricanes, terrorist attacks, floods, wildfires, and some of the hardest days this country has ever faced. Through all of it, one lesson remains true: America's greatest strength has never been a building, a government agency, or a piece of equipment. It's people. The neighbors who check on each other. The volunteers who show up. The first responders who run toward danger. The communities that rebuild after disaster strikes. It is choosing to be someone others can rely on when things go wrong. And despite our disagreements, challenges, and imperfections, there is still much to be proud of. A nation built on the belief that people should be free. A nation that has repeatedly risen to meet extraordinary challenges. A nation whose strength is found not in its institutions alone, but in the character of its people. That is worth remembering today. Happy Flag Day!

“Tax the rich” We already do. “Make the rich pay their fair share.” They already do. These slogans are catchy but inaccurate. They reveal that someone is misinformed on taxation in the United States.

A socialist can tolerate poverty, failure, and excuses. What he struggles to forgive is success.

Spot on. 💯

We don't have a wage problem. We have a cost of living problem. Freshman year in college. Two people making barely above minimum wage. Had an apt, paid utilities and gas, paid for my first college semester plus books IN CASH. Last college semester? $800 per credit hour.

The same people that are so concerned about Elon Musk getting rich seem to have no concern about the politicians who are getting rich off their money.

I know how Elon Musk became a trillionaire. What confuses me is how Bernie Sanders bought three houses on a senator’s paycheck.

The past couple days I've chimed in more than I probably should have on the Elon Musk discussion. I know darn good and well that what I say is a drop in the bucket and signifies nothing but my opinion. But it still felt like it needed to be said. Being silent feels complicit.
