At what point do we stop focusing on who needs to pay more tax and start asking where all of our tax money is going.

My biggest concern is that if there is a clean sweep by Democrats of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2028, they will:
1. Make DC and Puerto Rico states to gain a strong majority in the Senate.
2. Open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority.
3. Increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority.
This would result in America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word.
All that is needed to ensure this doesn’t happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029. That is why you should vote for Republican senators this election. Other reasons are irrelevant compared to this one.

I'm old enough to remember when Bernie Sanders used to criticize millionaires but switched the word to Billionaires when he started getting rich 🧐

In 2019, legislative records show @GinaHinojosaTX voted against changing the Texas Constitution to ban a state income tax. She denied that in an interview with @cbs11jack. Voters approved the ban overwhelmingly.

There’s so much money being made within the healthcare system that it will be extremely difficult to change. Health insurance was once viewed as catastrophic protection against an unforeseen emergency, but because of high deductibles, it has now become an unaffordable form of self-insurance that merely provides peace of mind.

The new helipad on the White House South Lawn was christened today as a U.S. Marine Corps VH-92A "Patriot" departed as 'Marine One', marking the first operational use from the site. The helipad has a heated concrete base topped with granite plates, with the presidential seal engraved into the surface. Sikorsky, the VH-92A's manufacturer, funded the roughly $6 million project, a contribution tied in part to damage the aircraft's exhaust and rotor wash had caused to the lawn.
this is third world country stuff
WATCH: Republicans step in around Sen. Mitch McConnell as confusion breaks out over his vote during a farm bill markup in the Senate Agriculture Committee.
McConnell quietly says “aye” as GOP Sen. John Hoeven leans over and tells him “no" multiple times.
A staffer then intervened and Chairman John Boozman reinforced McConnell's "aye" vote as the bill advanced 12-11 along party lines.
Hoeven’s office says he initially misunderstood what the committee was voting on.
biggest scam in history
Not-for-profit hospitals currently hold $2.2 to $2.5 trillion in total assets, of which roughly $750 billion to $900 billion is cash and investments.
Communities across America lose ~$8 to $14 billion per year in property taxes; and the federal government loses ~$12 to $18 billion per year in corporate income taxes.
Of course local communities and states miss out on tens of billions of dollars in sales taxes as well.
Kaiser - alone - is sitting on ~$73B in cash and investments.
Those private jets don’t fuel themselves and those stadium suites are very expensive!

Mass celebrations break out in the West Bank and Gaza, and Palestinians cheer, dance, and distribute free sweets.
Palestine is the only known place on earth to see overwhelming popular celebration of yesterday’s attacks, although Yasser Arafat condemned the attacks and denied responsibility yesterday.
