The GOP is literally proposing we pay a tax just to file our taxes.
For a party that constantly rails against taxes, they’re getting pretty creative at squeezing more money from Americans without having to call it a tax.

@QasimRashid The system isn’t broken, it’s working as designed to sustain the status quo: funnel resources into control mechanisms while starving the institutions that empower people to think critically, stay healthy, and demand better.
If we wanted a flourishing, educated, and well-cared-for society, we’d fund it. The money is clearly there, it’s just allocated to protect power vs people.
ICE is offering a $132K to $185K per year for supervisory roles & $306K per year to concentration camp managers. Both jobs have ZERO education requirement.
Meanwhile the average starting salary is $46,526 for teachers and $68,485 for nurses. Both jobs require a Bachelors degree & often a graduate degree.
It's a lie that we can't pay teachers & nurses. An uneducated and sick populace is easier to control, creates higher crime rates, and feeds the prison industrial complex. This is by design.
