James Talarico: “Trickle-down economics is not a theory, it’s theft. They have been stealing from the American people, stealing the wealth we created. It’s why everything sucks right now. It’s why everyone is so angry. We have an affordability crisis because we have a corruption crisis."

Texas has no state income tax. So why do lower-income Texans pay a bigger share?

Post image
14 Upvotes

I think a lot of Texans would be surprised by some of these numbers. We hear all the time about the benefits of living in a state without income taxes, but there's a lot more to the picture. I put this together because I think we should all know how these policies affect us, especially when we're deciding who represents us.

🇺🇸 Yesterday, the US Treasury bought back $6 billion in bonds.Total US national debt stood at $40.53 trillion as of October 26. That buyback equals just 0.015% of the total.The operation supports bond market liquidity. Putting a dent in the national debt is a much bigger task

The US in 2026…for the corporation, by the corporation

14 Upvotes

Allowing corporate money equal standing as individuals have led us here. We allow them to buy elections, why are we surprised when the people they get elected do everything for them to accumulate more money on our backs. Why are we surprised that socialism for the people is despised by half the population but socialism for corporations, giant agriculture and many non producing states is ignored. I’m not a Christian, but the Bible warned against money exchangers and that kind agreed and it looks like it was right.

Iran war cost US gov ~$45B, Oil companies have made $25B. US collected $5B in taxes from oil companies

25 Upvotes

Trump supporters getting robbed while cheering for it. He tells them were making so much money. he means he and the insiders, not you. While everyone is paying +50% more on gas and diesel. Trump and his friends are using the war to make themselves rich.

Trump has no real reason to stop the war. the longer it goes the richer they get.

the us gov spent $45B of taxpayer money to recover $5B in taxes. and oil companies pocketing the rest.

If youre not willing to invade iran with infantry and tanks there is no chance that irans government will collapse. and that is another 20+ year war.

the last time ayatollah khomeni accepted a ceasefire after the iran-iraq war in 1988 he said later that it was "worse than drinking poison". he said that about a cease fire, not a surrender.

what deal do you think the new ayatollah will make after the US and israeli government killed his father and his entire family.

High Prices

24 Upvotes

The reason prices are high is simple - we keep paying them! They keep saying the consumer is “resilient.” We’re buying stuff up (with or without the actual funds to do so) and prices will remain there so long as we do!
