Easy. I pay 35% of my wealth in taxes. Elon pays 1%. Thats not fair. I wanna pay 1%

Can someone explain why they're buying spacex, a company which makes no money and has a tier 2 LLM, at 1.7 trillion, instead of buying Google, which is a top 3 lab and makes 400 billion dollars a year, at 4 trillion? The maff aint maffing.

Tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, bailouts, and trade barriers are not Capitalism. Politicians found ways to circumvent the Constitution. They are greedy, power-hungry, and selfish. And they love, love, love to spend other people's money.

“Capitalism is so great.” Why then do corporations need tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, bailouts, legal protections, and trade barriers to survive?? And when ordinary people ask for help, why is it suddenly called socialism ??

It must be so easy being a Republican. If you win, even by the smallest margin, it’s a “mandate” or a “landslide”. If you lose, it’s rigged and the competition cheated. Like the fat loser in elementary school who was too stupid for hide and seek so cried that everyone cheated.

Property taxes on primary residences are a tax on unrealized gains, and the double standard around it is glaring. You buy a house for $300k with your after-tax dollars. Years later the market rises and the assessor says it’s now worth $600k. Your tax bill goes up—even though you didn’t sell, didn’t refinance, didn’t pull out a dime of equity. You’re paying higher taxes every single year on “wealth” that exists only on paper. That is the literal definition of taxing unrealized appreciation. Politicians and pundits scream bloody murder when anyone suggests doing the exact same thing to billionaires’ unrealized stock gains. “It’s unfair! They’ll be forced to sell assets!” Yet the same logic is applied to your family home without a second thought. If the principle is wrong for Elon Musk’s Tesla shares, it’s wrong for grandma’s paid-off house. The common defense—“It pays for schools and roads”—doesn’t hold up as justification for this specific mechanism. Those services are valuable, but tying their funding to the fluctuating paper value of your home creates a system where success (a nicer neighborhood, inflation, or simple supply and demand) is punished with a higher bill. Once the mortgage is gone, you still don’t truly own it. You’re a tenant with extra paperwork, paying annual rent to the government based on an assessment you don’t control. This isn’t about hating government services. It’s about honest funding. Tax actual economic activity—consumption via a broad sales tax, realized capital gains, or user fees for specific services. Shift the burden to people who are actively spending or transacting in the economy instead of penalizing ownership itself. Other countries and even some U.S. localities have shown you can fund local government without treating primary homes like perpetual leaseholds from the state. Ownership should mean ownership. Not “you own it until the county decides your paper equity went up.” Abolish property taxes on primary residences. The current system is a wealth tax dressed up as a service fee, and it’s long past time we called it what it is.

Capitalists actually believe people exist to serve the market. If a person cannot serve the market in a profitable way, their life has no value. Socialists also believe the market exists to serve people. If a market cannot serve the people in an equitable way, it has no value.

The Iran conflict has now cost America 100 billion dollars. That’s more than the cost of tuition free college. That’s more than the cost of free school lunches. That’s more than the cost of sending every family a $700 dollar check.

Late stage capitalism, courtesy of Donald J Trump and his billionaire friends. Saw it coming for years after Citizens United, but we finally entered the late game- uber rich building underground bunkers, blatantly insider trading, bribing, blackmailing, max extracting.

Follow the money on this one. It is rotten to the core. The Pentagon just lent $620,000,000 to a tiny North Carolina startup called Vulcan Elements. The company is two years old. It had fewer than 50 employees. And three months before the deal was announced, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture firm quietly took a stake in it. Here is the part the administration tried to bury. Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was weighing, Vulcan was the only deal initiated by a top White House aide. That aide was Peter Navarro, a close friend of Trump Jr. The order came down to move fast. One official put it plainly: The call came from the White House. We have to get this done. Staff worked late nights to push it through in weeks. Deals like this normally take many months of vetting. And when it closed, Vulcan’s valuation jumped from about 200 million dollars to roughly 2 billion. A windfall for the investors, including the president’s son. This is public money. Your money. Routed through the Pentagon to enrich the president’s family and their friends. The Bush administration’s own chief ethics lawyer called it corruption we pay for. And there is more coming. A drone parts company Trump Jr. holds a stake in is also under Pentagon review. This is not a one-off. It is a pattern. The president’s family is treating the federal Treasury like a private bank, and the bill lands on every taxpayer. propublica.org/article/donal…

We are now in a weird era where a guy gets publicly shamed for running his sprinklers on a Tuesday, while a data center the size of a Costco quietly drains a reservoir so AI can generate a picture of your cat as a medieval knight. And the data center gets a tax incentive for it.

Let's play Monopoly with 10 people. One person already owns 90% of the money and real estate and has access to borrow money from the bank whenever they want. The other 9 people have to share the remaining 10%. If you don't like it, you hate America and are a Communist. You are not allowed to question it. That is the current system.

If capitalism is so great, why do corporations need tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, bailouts, legal protections, and trade barriers to survive? And when ordinary people ask for help, why is it suddenly called socialism?

One thing I will never understand is why people don’t want to tax billionaires more. They would still be billionaires actually. You’re not really taking anything from them, just what they’re hoarding. They’ve profited off everyone else, so shouldn’t they give back?

Billionaires don't create wealth. They accumulate it, hoard it, and waste it on vanity projects. The people working for peanuts, struggling to pay the bills, they actually create it.

Trump the “family man” 3 wives all of whom he cheated on 2 of witch were Eastern Europe immigrants, 5 kids 3 different wives, paid a porn star 130k , best friends with the known pedophile Epstein, sued by a 13 year old girl for raping her and on and on ! THIS IS WHATS EVIL

And the Rockefellers and Vanderbilt’s still had enough for their mansions in Newport and New York. I paid fifteen thousand in federal taxes last year, tRump only paid $850.00 in 2018. Outrageous.

Back then… The average personal tax rate was 5.5% The average corporate tax rate was 42% And the tax rate for the ultra wealthy was 91%. That’s what they stole from us.

It is legitimately a tragedy that the 250th anniversary of this country's birth will be presided over by a president who is EVERYTHING the founders warned us against -- a partisan demagogue who fundamentally loathes the separation of powers and denies election results he dislikes
