Taxes are used to keep our communities up to date with safe highways, trash pickup off the roads, etc. Safety measures....It's endless. W/O taxes, we will become a trash dump with even more potholes than we have now.
The whole Zelensky thing in the Oval Office made me cringe. I was sick to my stomach watching them bully a man who was doing everything he could to keep his country together. It was shameful. And the fact that there was Russian journalists there filming the whole thing. That told me it was a planned hit job.
And the constant lying. I just don't understand how anybody could believe a word that comes out of his mouth. And when he says something abhorrent, they sane-wash it and say, "Oh, that's not what he really meant." Why would you vote for someone if you don't believe what they are saying in the first place? Much less put him in the most powerful office in the world? Sheer lunacy.
And nobody mentioned that during the Gilded Age that the rich were paying a lot more taxes. That's why the economy grew. The wealthy were paying more of their fair share, unlike today.
One of the most ridiculous things about the election is that people voted for Trump, then Googled, "What is a tariff." We are past the point of stupidity.
Thanks for commenting, Sarah. One of the many things that bug me about the MAGAs is the willful ignorance. Of course there are some folks who just are not very bright. Not much can be done about them. But the ones who are proudly ignorant by choice are the ones I really can’t stand.
The thing that gets me is the whole Republican party is towing the line for Trump. Especially the ones in Congress. Many of them have law degrees and they are willingly going along with all the lies. They are helping Trump burn everything down. That's willful ignorance. They know better.
Actually, "They are...." Just another form of keeping us divided....it's U.S. and Them, and U.S. won't last long under this regime. The swastika is taking over our cloudy days....and, even our sunny days.
Sadly, this is all true and despicable. It is so far over the top I can't even consume it anymore. We live in "MAD MAGAZINE 2025"!!!
I would like to point out that the price of eggs, and chickens, btw, is due to the lack of regulations in the industrial farms that raise these poor feathered friends. There is no regulation to keep these industries clean and no regulations on the types of slaughtering methods that are used when they kill millions of these birds at once! Perhaps they are making money off of the feathers used in Caribbean Festivals?
Cruelty to animals has increased due to lack of regulations in slaughter houses...animals are not just killed, they are tortured first. Just check on how innocent horses are being treated. It's unbearable.....
Thank you. I sense there's a serious need to inform the people about regressive taxes. I worry about this. But again, thank you
Interesting that Republicans don’t mind taxes as long as they’re not on the wealthy. Thanks for the comment, tecolote42.

The worst is that they "laugh" about it....part of the bullying process for sure.
