Now, there's a REASON we don't ever do this. It's not because we would fail if we did. We already did that. The wealthy reacted by 2/3 of them financially backing Reagan...who then reversed all of that and created this problem that we have.

So, the answer isn't hard to figure out. It's hard to do.

Statistically a tax rate on the top 10% of around 45-50% covers the entire deficit as it currently is generated annually (on average).

Without the T-note interest payments, we have freed the resources to pay for all those great things. If a surplus is realized, we plan to pay debt down long term.🧵

FDR was like, "bro...just tax the rich people and use that money for the deficit and these services."

So, to pay for all those fun toys - we stop paying interest on T-notes.

Then, to cover the deficit per year, we push the taxes on the top 10% of earners to around 50% (FDR hit some north of 70%)🧵

The current amount of national debt is about $38.33 Trillion already so if we stopped doing ANY services and killed T-notes, it will STILL take 39 years of everyone somehow going like this to pay that off.

So how do we get the money to cover our deficit if we killed T-Notes? FDR knew what's up. 🧵

So each year we are failing to pay the deficit already anyway...so not getting the loans from billionaires doesn't change this - we still aren't paying it.

So if we just stop paying them interest for this, we could directly pay down debt or, even better, pay for all those cool things. Imagine.

And I ALREADY know what some are going to say. "What about the deficit?!"

Historically the last time we paid that deficit instead of adding it to the debt was Bill Clinton. When we do that, it's called a "surplus." This was pretty frequent from the 40's and 50's when they taxed the rich. 🧵

Also fair but if they want to make the formal information public via social media then I get to play the same game with their social media and scrutinize that with just as much "professionalism"

I would anticipate that they plan to lean heavy on "good order" in the future.

So the top section is the claim that they have the right to recall service members. They do.

The bottom claim they have added in "good order" but as you can see from the screenshot from Cornell, that part is not actually in the code mentioned.

Weird that the DOD added in that specific tidbit...

We won't. They control all of the aspects of the government. We will have to wait until that's no longer the case. They already don't obey the laws or even the courts.

Unfortunately there are a ton of people who won't be able to see the subtlety and will just be like, "what? He was complimenting a player?"

Me: Yeah, on his genetics and ignoring all of his hard work and talent...that's kind of the whole problem...

Regimes always end the same way buddy

I enjoy the ugly sweaters but I didn't know it was implicitly a Christian thing. I thought it came from the gaudy commercialization of the sweaters that were unironically popular in the 1980s that then found footing in an ironic adoption later.

Anyway, you shouldn't be pressured to participate.

Meanwhile regular Legal scholars be like

Note: The labels are intentional here to show the "suck chain" if you will

Bonus points: When we get to the point of actually doing the proper legal runs against all of this administration, this presser will serve as a perfect piece of evidence to establish the ease of coercion that all the members around Trump are manipulating to make Trump's crimes even worse

He repeated it with very sincere expression that he thinks it's called "con" Edison twice...hahahaha
