  • “Was working illegally” as if they somehow forced an employer to pay them under the table instead of hiring a citizen. As if their income would even qualify for any significant tax revenue.

    It takes two to tango, employers pay payroll and insurance tax as well.

    But, I also agree. People who do not pay their fair share of taxes (even if that fair share is $0) should not benefit from the services those taxes enable.

    Now you must agree billionaires and corporations should also stop receiving government subsidies because they are not paying their fair share, right?

    Same thing goes for conservative regions that historically suck up funding while contributing none, right?

    Anything else and you would just be a hypocrite lying about why lesser classes should be treated worse; that would be terrible!


  • Since you seem to lack the intelligence needed, I’ll enlighten you! It’s Trump! He will win because Democrats would rather lose than run a viable centrist candidate.

    But that’s weird, I could have sworn all you blue MAGAts promised the exact same thing in 2019. Our democracy is at stake, we must vote Blue no matter who to stop fascism.

    That’s weird, I could have sworn the same thing happened in 2008 and 2012 as well. I had so much {{{hope}}} but all that happened was a retail debt fueled spending spree and no healthcare. Oh right, the banking industry must have been punished for that, surely? They didn’t just shift the bubble to permanent debt like student loan backed securities and securities fraud?

    Damn they said that in 1992 and we got Glass-Steagall repealed. But look we ran a federal surplus, hooray all is well!

    It’s so strange, I keep holding my nose and voting blue no matter who but the US keeps getting more right wing and capitalists keep consolidating power.

    Can you explain why this time will be totally different? After all, according to your logic, if a vote for not-Biden is a vote for Trump just like you say, then a vote for Biden must be a vote for Trump as well?

    I mean, we voted blue so there should be plenty of examples of Democrats taking material action to reject fascism and the wholesale plunder of the working class by capitalists, right?

    The blues will fight back this time, right? They’ll reverse the line, right?







  • Imperceptible to someone completely ignoring history and the world around them, sure!

    The concept of state sponsored police in the US originated in slave hunting gangs. The US never changed since the beginning.

    To your point though there is an incredible amount of brainwashing. Your average North Korean is less brainwashed than Americans, at least they know what other countries have.

    Americans think they are the last beacon of civilization and the developed world is in ruins when it’s literally the other way around lmao.
