[UltraSUPRA]

We need more taxes

How are we going to lift people out of poverty if all their money is going to the government?

It doesn't matter where it goes to we spend way too much on Healthcare as it is with Universal Health Care that price will go way down

No, the price will be higher and the quality will be lower.

lamo this is why politics should never be mentioned in a GAMING site if you want that news go somewhere else my opinion at least. It always turns into a Shitshow.

this is pretty cringe. racism has been something common for like, 99% of human history. we can't judge the people of yesterday with today's laws and morals. maybe in the future people will cancel gandhi for eating plants, who knows? acknowledge that it was a bad thing that we have evolved from and move on.

I mean, let's not pretend this was posted with the intent of being informative or providing news to begin with. It's purely political theater, and I'm guessing that, based on the timing, Gohmert's entire speech was a weak attempt to distract from Ted Yoho accosting AOC on the capitol steps with a misogynistic rant.

how can that man be a part of the House of Representatives and not understand that the parties had an ideological shift like 100-150 years ago

They didn't.
What happened is that Lyndon B. Johnson said, and I quote, "if the n*ggers are able to vote, they might as well vote for us".

Really gross that I even had to type out the N-word to look this up, but not only is your quote not the original quote, but we also don't even know if the original quote even exists.

Not that I'm defending LBJ though, every US president has been terrible. LBJ definitely was racist of course, but your quote doesn't exist.

I think the idea of an ideological shift is silly anyways. Democrats and Republicans are more or less both different sides of the same Neoliberal coin. Both parties have had always had racist members and racist policies and still have racist members and racist policies. They should both be "canceled".

I'm talking about taxes.
Doctors have control over healthcare pricing, which in your """""utopia""""" would be paid by taxes.
If you don't pay taxes, you go to jail.
Because of this, doctors can have as fat of a paycheck as they want, while barely doing jack squat.

You are aware the end goal of socialism (communism) and the entire concept of anarcho-<insert flavor of anarchism here other than "capitalism" which isn't anarchism> in general there are no jails/money/taxes/classes/hierarchies, correct? I don't really understand the point you are trying to get at.

edit: also, forgot to say, even if taxes were increased today they aren't going to raise taxes for low/middle class people (and if they did, it'll be minimal and I'd happily pay a bit more to you know, provide healthcare for everyone), they are going to tax billionaires the most

The point I'm trying to get at is that people should be able to keep more of what they earn. However, in a communist society, you earn nothing, and in a tax-funded occupation, you earn the same no matter what, so why work at all?

That's not flat.

If you hate America so much, why not move to a Communist society like Cuba?

So I guess "historically" supporting racism is a big no-no, but his party flying confederate flags and supporting racism to this day is perfectly fine with Mr. Gohmert.

Right just like it also a no-no to have statues of historical racists. And tbf not all of his party our supporters of racism nor does it matter if they fly the confederate flag your party’s the reason it was deemed racist.

A flat tax only hurts the low/middle class

A flat tax only hurts the low/middle class

It encourages us to get better jobs that pay more.

That cost more money

What should they be replaced with communism? That be quite Ironic lol many people fled their own countries to legally be here to be rid of communism and its similar parties for this country just to become what they wanted to be rid of

 

[UltraSUPRA]

That cost more money

So you need to pay to have a job?

 

[Shadow#1]

So you need to pay to have a job?

Yes to have a better job

 

[UltraSUPRA]

Yes to have a better job

How does that even make any sense?

 

[ThatGamingAirman]

I guess that’s what he said so it looks like I can get a job if I don’t have any money to buy my position that can be taken away from me
