"The rich won't save us, no matter how much we cut their taxes"
Sticker seen in Chicago
@RadicalGraffiti Trump gave them $2 trillion and they did f**k all for us.
@RadicalGraffiti @grumpygamer it brings me great joy to see you boosting this
@RadicalGraffiti they kill us when needed, their greed is endless and in their mind justiified
@RadicalGraffiti Hope is a currency of the poor and an ammunition of the rich
@RadicalGraffiti Had to read that twice. Yup. Makes perfect sense; only us poor pay taxes

@RadicalGraffiti I think that taxing them will make everyone better. For starters super taxing the billionaires will ensure that:

1. They will not become more powerful than the nations they are citizen of
2. Be discouraged from building trillion dollar companies by abusing the workers with zero hour contracts and other such-like actions
3. Give more money to states to distribute on education, health and improving the lives of citizens.

@chribonn @RadicalGraffiti we also need to be ejecting millionaires from Government. Make it unprofitable for the power to suck up to the billionaire class

@kc @RadicalGraffiti many go into politics to safeguard their interest and block all attempts to investigate them.

Sadly they have the resources to buy their agenda into public opinion. Will the public read this post or the Washington Post and Twitter?

@chribonn @RadicalGraffiti most of the time their own party or opposition parties will actively put an end to it, not for the public good but for their own benefit.

One way to start is bringing in more independents but yeah as you said the commerical media outlets (fucking Murdoch specifically) will go full destruction on their chances.

I don't have all the answers on this one but at a push I could find a molotov and the address of a few servers

@kc @RadicalGraffiti I'm less optimistic (and this is global IMO).

UK: David Cameroon the then UK prime minister behind Brexit was in the remain camp but gambled his country's future to keep his back benchers quite and win an election.

Richie Sunak is going ballistic against the environment a few months before the next general election.

Trump's main voter demographic are low income / education whites yet he's on tape telling bankers how much they own him for massive tax breaks.

@chribonn @RadicalGraffiti No one has the courage to place legal sanctions on them?
@chribonn @RadicalGraffiti I wish we could just cut them off at the source: outlaw rent, and require all corporations to be non-profit.

@hosford42 @RadicalGraffiti I'm not a communist. I would take anyone whose income is over 250million at 95%, anyone who is over 500 million at 99%.

The system must not allow bypass systems.

For every trillion dollar company that would not exists, a few million dollar companies would replace them. These "inefficient" alternatives would:

1. Employ more people
2. Pay them / treat them better
3. Move the wealth/well being median up

@chribonn @RadicalGraffiti I'm not a communist either. Not sure where that came from. I just don't think people should be able to sit on resources and charge people for access.
@RadicalGraffiti To bad but but true they are full on greed.
@RadicalGraffiti
The richest think you have too much life. They'll just use that extra money to kill you. It's gotten so bad that cretins like DeSantis will say that working class people live too long out loud.
@RadicalGraffiti but they might stop getting in the way if we start cutting their throats...
Report: January 7th is Corporate Income Tax Freedom Day 2022 | Canadians for Tax Fairness

Introduction At 12:33am on January 7, Canadian corporations collected the last dollar needed to pay their annual corporate income tax bill.[ii] Since 2010, Corporate Income Tax Freedom has arrived, on average, by 2:19am on January 7. However, the time has been trending earlier and earlier with corporations keeping an additional half hour or so of revenue each year. This trend is a direct result of falling corporate income tax rates and widespread use of tax loopholes, tax havens, and aggressive corporate accounting.

@RadicalGraffiti that warm wet sensation of pee on your head? That’s trickle down economics 😶
@RadicalGraffiti We provide the rich a chance to live in the 5 star version of a hotel: nations that are safe, comfortable, full of luxury and opportunity. Let's start charging them what a 5 star hotel would charge them to live there. It's mind boggling to think conventional political wisdom is "the rich won't stay in our 5 star nations unless we charge the Motel 6 rates!"

@RadicalGraffiti Like Aerosmith said, eat the rich. But then that's cannibalism and frowned upon

It doesn't trickle down unless it's spent.
It's not spent unless the majority of people in the area where it is don't see some of it.
If it's hoarded or reserved for access by other hoarders it's not being seen by the people at the bottom of the stack.
