Republican is as republican does. That’s all they ever do is shit on America.

We’ve known for a while but this makes it official: Trump is a shit-poster.

A news headline reads: “Trump Shares AI Video of Feces-Dropping Jet on ‘No Kings’ Protesters.” The subheadline says that President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated video on Truth Social depicting himself as “King Trump,” piloting a jet that drops sludge resembling feces on crowds at nationwide “No Kings” rallies protesting his policies.

Because Republican is as republican does

Tom Emmer is still referring to No Kings as "the Hate America Rally"

So you support not taxing corporations for the betterment of the American people then

That’s what laws are for. Don’t pretend it can’t be done.

Make corporate income subject to social security tax

Scuba Steve @scibasteve.bsky.social · 11h

Things change, remove the income cap for social security tax

Scuba Steve @scibasteve.bsky.social · 11h

Not if we bring back the 70% corporate tax

Scuba Steve @scibasteve.bsky.social · 12h

Ever since Regan we’ve been fighting an uphill battle. Regan is the me who destroyed it all. There used to be a 70% tax rate on corporations and none on social security income.
Let’s get this out there to everyone so they know what the republicans really believe.
Feed the rich and tax the poor.

No, I mean when you get a social security check as a senior citizen or disabled citizen it is taxed

I assume you mean FICA? The current cap is is $176,100. But yes, there are many calling to lift the cap.

Oh, sorry - FICA. If you lift the cap to all income you won't have to tax it - and many millions only have SS for retirement so need every penny

-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence

These are the foundations of real freedom.

If you're a writer/other creator in the United States, consider creating an LLC for your business and then signing up for a local area Chamber of Commerce. Many of them have health insurance plans that pool their members and members of other CoCs to create insurance efficiencies relative to ACA.
