There are good people who are Christian but this remains true

Food for thought

If billionaires were taxed at the same effective rate as the lower-middle class, the U.S. gov’t would collect hundreds of billions more each year.

That money could be used to reduce deficits, fund education, healthcare, and ease the tax burden on working families

I’m tired of seeing all the news articles that say something like:

“I have $1.4 million in my IRA, should I….?”

Those articles exist to trick people into believing the economy is working. Reality:

• Only about 1% of IRA accounts have a balance of $1 million+
• Average? $113,000-$120,000

MAGA on science (really):

[Darwinism is false because it says humans came from apes. If that’s true, why are there still apes?]

Logic based on ignorance is the tool of the super rich

Always fun when the Vice President of the U.S. lies because he knows the majority of his base either don’t care or aren’t capable of critical thinking

If more people, especially MAGA, understood this concept, our society would be geared towards helping instead of greed

This reminds me of every time in life I’ve come across someone who makes up their opinion about something they know next to nothing about

Always makes me laugh how confident people like this are that their logic is 100%

Like the MAGA man who is sure every woman knows they are pregnant at 3 weeks

Wealth Inequality
[welth] [in-i-kwol-i-tee]

• 128.7M U.S. households
• 75% (96.2M) earn under $150,000
• Give each $10,000 — still less than the pay package Tesla just gave a man who already has over $400B

But sure. Cut Medicaid, SNAP, cut the corporate tax rate & taxes for the top 1%
