You can't just give huge tax cuts to millionaires, they will just spend it on drugs, and overpriced social media companies that they won't even know how to run correctly.
@futurebird All this corporate welfare makes for lazy corporations that don't want to work for their people! Cut off the biggest welfare queens of them all!
@saxbrightwell @futurebird These corporate tax cuts are socialism. Aren't they always whining about it?
@rejzor @saxbrightwell @futurebird Some kinds of socialism are good. For example, in Florida a public option for property insurance was introduced to encourage continued construction of beachfront homes.
@futurebird
You can’t just give huge tax cuts to billionaires, they’ll spend it on a rapist fraudster insurrectionist, and a brainworm-infested carrion eater to both run for President, and then make them mash together like two factory-reject GI Joe dolls smooching.
@futurebird Actually, mere millionaires would probably put their kids through school and maybe buy a vacation home. It's BILLIONAIRES you're thinking of.

@futurebird

Yep. Save a billionaire's life: tax them enough that they can't afford a submarine or a super yacht.

@JeffreySmith @futurebird but think how many job opportunities are in the superyacht building industry ;-)
@futurebird It could even lead to worms eating their brain. But that is not a bad thing.
Wow! Michelle Obama gives a speech and explains the generation wealth affirmative action system, and then JFK Jr. goes off and shows us *exactly* how that works.
@futurebird I now love you Even More for cracking me up so hard
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@futurebird I’m going to boost this every day 😄
@futurebird So true. I say we give them work requirements. If they want a tax cut, they need to show they aren't just on the public dole and should put in 40 hours a week of community service cleaning up trash.

@unabogie @futurebird

Probably not a good idea for Musk, his company already manufactures dumpsters. He's gonna find an angle.

@futurebird Also bunkers. They're very big on bunkers.

@futurebird

There's no reason our tax dollars should be paying Elon Musk's concubines' child support.

They are.

@futurebird Taxing was invented to wage and win wars… and it’s a very old monetary concept. But the difference between then and now is; Gold and silver was at least worth its value in time and weight… Considering it took millions of years for the Earth to make it, and 1000’s of man hours to retrieve it…. Now, they just run down to the BEP and print some numbers on a piece of papery linen, and call it money. Oddly enough, a paper plate holds more value in weight! Tax reform how?

@futurebird

They might to go Mars, tho. 🤔 /s

@futurebird yeah wtf I should be spending that money instead, on comparatively less drugs, and also another plant that I really like but am not quite sure what to do with smh
@futurebird They'll stay homeless, flying from city to city on their private jet.
@futurebird I always thought it was funny for how little money he could have spun up a Mastodon instance or something if he wanted a microblogging site so badly...

@ben @futurebird

Free software? Decentralized, federated network? That would be communism! Or maybe even worse, primitivism. Why do people hate Progress® and Growth® so much!?

@futurebird This is why we just give them free drugs. The ROI is vast
@Lyle @futurebird
You mean like drugging & yachting, drugging & climbing Everest? The rich do kill themselves in interesting ways.
