  • So everyone bitches about taxes but think about the Republican campaign against it for years.

    Any attempts to simplify taxes has been fought to keep companies like TurboTax and H&R Block profitable, while every chance the Republicans decry any taxes whatsoever so keeps the min wage people against taxes.

    But the thing is IRS defunding typically goes after the sections of the IRS that investigates tax fraud from the billionaires and businesses that try to wiggle out after all the tax cuts they’ve worked through, they’ve managed to demonize a portion of the government that’s supposed to be funding the government and goes after the wealthy that don’t pay their fair share.





  • Either America as we knew it dies or there’s going to be a radical revolution.

    There is no or. The America as we knew it is dead. The level of such is the question and what it looks like after.

    But the America we knew had far reaching power through trade and alliances. The America we knew had backing of friends. The America we knew may not have always been in the right and not always successful, but there was expectations of it roughly keeping its deals internationally and rule of law at home. All that is gone.

    Now the America today is one that will immediately drop deals on a whim, will turn its backs on its allies to shake hands with enemies, has no friends, has no allies, and no expectation for rule of law.

    France… US’s oldest ally even before it was a country has committed that if we invade Greenland that they’d commit troops and are looking at offering their nuclear weapons as an umbrella to Europe because the US cannot be trusted. There is no going back to “whoopsies, we made a mistake” like we were able to do last time we got Trump out of office.

    Buckle up. We’re about to see how far down we can fall.
