Private sector billionaires authorize military spending levels from tax revenue?

So we spend too much on military?


Guess that means you think we spend too much on the interest rate then too eh?

What’s your plan, Stan? “Tax the rich”?

You'll vote for this warfare if corporatist Dems continue welfare. It's the unholy alliance of Beltway pols. And both of them will bankrupt us.

I was operating on the assumption that those were common knowledge, not something controversial that required much support.

I forgot I was replying to you, possibly the stupidest poster on the board.

So you think BLM, feminism, the protests happening in Minnesota, pro-Hamas, protests, etc. were all organic?

No, friend.

Over half of our budget goes to 3 DEMOCRAT policies.

Medicare, Medicaid, (28%) and social security. (22%)

The next largest spending item (surprise! Democrat policy) income security. Read food stamps, section 8, and other entitlements. (18%)

Next line item, interest on the debt! Driven by democrat spending! (12-13%)

Then we have national defense spending…. (11-12%)







Then we have everything else combined (8%)

Not very compelling evidence, counselor.

Of course not. I asked for evidence that all of the problems in the US were created by billionaires. Are you saying Soros represents all billionaires?

“Make” is tricky. Basically all of Musk’s value is tied directly to the performance of his companies through his stock holdings. He actually “makes” no money in the traditional sense. He hasn’t taken a salary since I think 2019.

That’s why this whole “tax the billionaires” shite is so ridiculous to anyone who an ounce of economic sense. These guys entire value is illiquid.

You said you read the post, but you didn't.

Either that or you're dumber than even I thought.

What did Elon do that was wrong? Do you think the world would be better off without Elon? Do you think the world would be better off without a system that allows Elon or a person like Elon to make discoveries and create the things Elon creates?

The sheer number of paradigm shifting discoveries that happen in our country under our system as compared to other countries under other systems speaks for itself. And no one ever said our system is perfect. But I would say the risk that we would no longer have world changing discoveries by changing our system to enact someones idea of social justice is too great a risk

Elon is not the first richest man on the planet and he won't be the last. The scale of his wealth is a reflection of the expanding global economy.

It's such common knowledge all you have to do is Google it. But you likely don't have the brains to pull up your pants after you take a dump, so I wiw do it fo wou:

quote:

Based on recent reports, congressional investigations, and analyses of non-profit funding, several billionaires and high-net-worth individuals have been identified as providing financial support to organizations involved in organizing protests, particularly in the United States. These funds are often directed toward left-leaning, progressive, or social justice causes.
Key Billionaires and Donors Identified in Investigations:

Neville Roy Singham: An American businessman based in Shanghai, Singham is currently under investigation by U.S. congressional committees (Ways and Means, Senate Judiciary, and House Oversight) for allegedly funding far-left, anti-ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) protests, and Pro-Palestine demonstrations. Reports indicate he has funneled tens of millions of dollars through a network of nonprofits, including The People's Forum, which has ties to the Party for Socialism and Liberation.

George Soros (Open Society Foundations): Soros is frequently cited in media reports and by conservative politicians for funding progressive, anti-Trump, and social justice causes. The Open Society Foundations have supported numerous groups involved in organizing, including Indivisible, which has been involved in "No Kings" protests. However, the Open Society Foundations have stated they do not pay, train, or coordinate protesters directly.

Hansjörg Wyss: A Swiss billionaire, Wyss has been identified as a major donor to left-leaning causes in the U.S. through his foundations, including funding for groups involved in anti-Trump demonstrations.

Arabella Advisors Network: While not a single billionaire, this "dark money" hub has been identified as funnelling significant funds (over $79 million, according to some reports) to various protest-affiliated organizations.

Rockefeller engagement with feminism involves both targeted philanthropic support for gender equality, reproductive health, and women's leadership, and personal involvement by family members in radical movements. Key actions include supporting women’s studies in the 1960s, advocacy for reproductive rights, and promoting feminist foreign policy to advance gender equality.

Key aspects of Rockefeller-related feminism include:
Abby Rockefeller (1943–): Radical feminist and ecologist who belonged to the 1960s/70s liberation group Cell 16, focusing on women's liberation, self-defense, and analyzing patriarchal structures.

Philanthropic Focus: The Rockefeller Foundation and the Population Council have long supported women’s reproductive health and, more recently, gender equality in international development and climate change solutions.
Academic & Leadership Support: The Rockefeller Brothers Fund supported the inclusion of women in higher education starting in 1961 and assisted in developing the field of women's studies.

Policy Advocacy: The Foundation actively promotes "feminist foreign policy" to address inequality in international relations.

Individual Advocacy: Mary Rockefeller was a prominent leader in the YWCA for over four decades, promoting leadership opportunities for women.

The Rockefeller Foundation has integrated gender equality into its core mission, recognizing women as essential agents of change in addressing global challenges like climate change and economic development.
