Why are we experiencing what appears as immunity for Americans actively circumventing our basic democracy.

I sound old but democracy was an inherent value back in the 1980s that was defended by all. What is happening?

"Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the private school, supported entirely by private contributions. Keep the church and state forever separate."

Still a big fan of what we are building here.

But I have not yet seen an apology for inviting musk. What a dumb decision that was for the fwd brand.
Tariffs are a sales tax. Specifically a Wholesale Sales Tax. Traditionally components of a product are sales tax exempt to avoid double retail tax.

With tariffs, I as a manufacturer, pay a Wholesale Sales Tax, make a product with higher material costs, and then my customers pay sales tax again.

You didn’t pay social security for your future needs. You paid for the needs at that time. Today people pay for the current needs.

It has always saved more than needed until recently. Now incoming taxes are behind current needs. (78% around) we could eliminate the cap and solve the revenue.

Rosie O'Donnell responds to Trump's threat this morning to revoke Rosie's citizenship:
Grateful for this organized event.

We also need the votes. I live in Indiana. We have a huge opposition. But ultimately our voters are loyal maga and gop branded.

We know there are reasonable voters in Indiana but we can’t get them to trust their vote can restore our democracy. Please vote!

This is a national tragedy.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode deficits

3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

If there was ever a time to call your Senator, this is it.

Voting has begun on the GOP plan to cut off health care for working-class Americans and slash taxes for the wealthiest.
