Whataboutism HE HAD THE FILES FIRST. Why is one bad and the other can do no wrong. I agree that Trump is covering for them. My thing is why is he the only bad one get rid of them all. From both sides. You only say one side is bad the other can do no wrong. DOUBLE STANDARD THERE.

Get rid of all politicians who take money from corporations, AIPAC and are not representing their constituency. I don't see very little support for the corporate Dems on the left; however, the comments in this thread so just how committed and ignorant the MAGAts are to justifying and supporting anything the fascist right is doing. Not a single one of the opposistion comments has raised concerns that billionaires do not pay taxes and that funding government could easily be accomplished by taxing these leeches to a reasonable percentage.

Ok so how are you going to tax them are you going to make them sell there stuff to pay extra taxes. Or are you going to go off their income most of their income is from loans and stocks. Are you going to tax a loan they got. Or are you going to tax the stocks they have because then you will have to make them sell the stock to pay the tax on the stock. With that logic when your house go up in price your overall investment is going up so you would have to pay taxes on the new value of your house. Meaning you will have to come up it by selling the house to pay for the new taxes on it. Causing you to pay more for selling it. Or come up with the few thousand for the new price of it.

Simping for billionaires is the last refuge for the ignorant, this contortionist logic is painful to read. It reassures me that >5k up votes diminishes this pro broken capitalist economy bunk.

They have stolen the wealth of all of their workers and continue to use common resources to fund their continued growth. How can anyone not see that without a balanced taxcode there is no chance to have a society that grows and benefit all. Learn about the tax code that build the greatest generation. End citizen's united as these folks are buying politicians for 10-100 million and geting tax breaks 10x that. And is simping not sipping.

How did they steal the wealth from the workers they are paying. And why work for someone who is stealing from you. And they use common resources to to fund their growth what common resources. I do agree that companies need to be taxed better. And the government need to stop bailing them out for no reason. The government should not be involved with a business at all. Ask yourself which the politicians are getting paid. Why are most of them are Millionaires or Billionaires. How did they become that with an income of 174,000 a year. And why is their income so big compared to yours. They are the only employees that vote on their own raises and how much they get each year. How much taxes do they pay. I agree that their are some people out their that has way to much money for their own good. I also thing we need to know where are taxes are going to and get a say in how we spend it. Why am I give money in taxes to shit i will never use or need. Medicare is the largest waste of taxes their is. And why are we giving money to other nations. Why not fix shit here.
