wait so you guys are claiming you’re mad about them taxing Elon musk because they’ll supposedly tax regular people more… but you’re also mad that 61% of people who pay no federal income taxes (mind you these people still pay other forms of tax) and think that “has to change”? hmmmm….. 🤔
like if you’re going to be two-faced and dishonest at least be less obvious about it.
at any rate all this nonsense about taxes is a waste of time when what we really need is a revolution.
Nothing two faced about it.
Just pointing out the hypocrisy of the left calling for more taxes - higher rates and new taxes - for everyone but them, while they, by and large, contribute nothing.
I’m a flat tax guy; either we all pay our ‘fair share’ or no one pays anything.
Agreed on the revolution. Bring it on.
I’m a NO Income Tax guy. Repeal the 16th Amendment. Abolish ALL income taxes. Abolish the IRS. Abolish all banking laws, rules, and regulations giving the government authority to snoop into your finances.
This would: 1. Drastically shrink the government (well, in theory–in practice, they’d probably just keep spending and inflating until we reach hyperinflations. We’re gonna reach that point eventually anyhow, though, so….) 2. Stop the government stealing a big chunk of your income (directly–they’ll still steal value from you by inflating the currency). 3. Prevent the government from snooping through everyone’s finances. If they have a specific, articulable suspicion that I, personally, have committed a specific crime and need to look at my banking records, they can GO GET A FUCKING WARRANT, the way the Constitution demands.
[aardvarkingmad voice]: no taxes except the taxes to fund draconian crackdowns on the homeless:
there’s something funny about you calling portland a people’s republic because you don’t think there’s enough jackbooted thugs roughing up the homeless. such a freudian slip quality to it- you let slip that in spite of the narrative, people’s republics are in fact defined by the absence of jackbooted thugs oppressing the underclass.
“The U.S. is provoking a new Cold War to ensure an enemy to struggle against, guarantee robust defense spending for decades, and to make sure there is no repeat of the “peace dividend” that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union.”
I do want to stress the fact that the article in question was written in The American Conservative. By a US diplomat. So, you know, probably not a CPC shill.
America without a manufactured enemy to rally people around defending the flag and indoctrinate them with fanatic jingoism would collapse within a decade or two. The specter of a threatening great evil and modern bread and circuses are the glue keeping the fragments of this slowly corroding empire precariously stuck together.
“I get excited when I see waste,” the materials scientist told Patta, “because I know that’s life for us.”
The fact that plastic does not sink is precisely what intrigued Matee.

“It took us about nine months just to make one brick.”
One
brick wasn’t enough, but that was no problem for a woman who likes to
get her hands dirty. Next, she built a machine to mass produce the
plastic bricks.
First the waste is sorted to remove rubble and metal, and then the
plastic is baked — just like “making cookies,” joked Matee — before the
boiling mixture is molded into building blocks. Her setup can churn out
as many as 2,000 per day, and they’re 35% cheaper than standard bricks,
and up to seven-times stronger.

Kenya’s fight against plastic pollution isn’t just a homegrown
issue. It’s complicated by the fact that, two years ago, the U.S.
exported more than one billion pounds of plastic waste to 96 nations,
including Kenya. Now Washington wants to make the shipment of more
plastic waste a condition of a proposed trade deal.
Greenpeace activist Amos Wemanya believes Kenya can barely manage its own waste, let alone recycle America’s.
Matee agrees that countries should keep their waste in their own
backyards, and she intends to make good on what she calls her triple
threat:
“The more we recycle the plastic, the more we produce
affordable housing… the more we created more employment for the youth,”
she said.
Like many young Kenyans, Matee is passionate about
saving the environment, but it’s not just words. She’s hoping that
through her actions, the mountain in Dandora will become a mere hill.
My house smells just like the zoo, It’s chock full of shit and puke! Cockroaches on the walls Crabs crawlin’ on my balls! Ohh, but I’m so clean cut, I just wanna fuck some sluts!
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
