Totally agree and has said the same many times here. We need accountability and consequences.

We can test her theory by floating the policy of eliminating Social Security and observing the reacts.

Needs a lot of mirror work to become better at public speaking. She’s a bit choppy.

63% of americans pay no income tax, the day's when the beloved "middle class" constituted the largest group of tax payers died with george w.

today the top 10% of income earners pay 72% of all collected income tax.

so let's be clear, the middle class no longer pay's their fair share, and we can debate as to whether that's a problem. i've heard arguments for and against that. interestingly the biggest increase in a group of tax payer's in 2024 was those filing jointly making over 400k that group nearly doubled from 2.6 million to 3.8 million.

Your Democratic Party tells seniors that Republicans are going to do that every time there is an election.

The answer is a flat tax where everyone has skin in the game.
Of course the “I’m poor because _______ is a billionaire” crowd will lose their shite.

we've had some 15 years of decreasing "skin in the game" and increasing government scope. it's easy to want government to help people when it doesn't cost you anything.

Everyone: this is SFP's tactic of throwing something completely irrelevant into a thread, solely with the intent go derail it. Do not engage with this tactic. Leave him alone to scream at clouds.

Your ignorance shows. Did you even read the Tweet in OP? She says

quote:

The Founders aren’t just rolling in their graves, they’re screaming in disgust at the spineless cowards we’ve become.
Weak. Compliant. Pathetic slaves thanking our masters for the chains.
I’m done bending the knee.
NO MORE theft.
NO MORE silence.
NO MORE excuses.

Prove you’ve still got American blood in your veins.


I'm giving an option to prove we still have "blood in our veins" by addressing a program that covers the various complaints she offered.

You just described the tweet in OP, as I'm proivng

I’m all for helping people. To the extent they need it.
But when it grows to a scale of “wealth redistribution”, that’s a different story.

No matter what you’ve been told, no government in America is ever going to directly confiscate wealth from one and turn 180 and distribute directly to the poor.

Whatever they take will go to their coffers and you will gladly take what you’ve always gotten.

We don’t have an assistance issue in America. We have a lack of accountability issue in America. And we’ve created a generation of “just give it to me” folks who don’t want to lift a finger for a penny of it.

If the founders were around today heads would roll. Starting with anyone who has been in DC over 5 years. Basically, all of them.

Our Founders were all up in government when the country started.

Take John Adams.

From 1777 until 1801 he was in various jobs in the Federal Government.
