The US government is a government of the oligarchs, by the oligarchs & for the oligarchs.

Doesn't matter whether it's Biden or Trump.

Look at the economic advisors they surround themselves with.

These are the exact same type of people who have been hollowing out US industry for the last 40 years.

These are the people are now suddenly trying to bring manufacturing back to the US?!

You gotta be very gullible to believe that.

Happy tax season MFers 😂😭

Knowing my federal taxes just delete money from the economy & pay for nothing makes paying them suck more.

Not spending on universal basic services and overall public good is a political CHOICE not scarcity of dollars. It keeps labor in line & desperate so capital can thrive.

In light of the current cuts to federal spending and the forthcoming recession, this seemed relevant...

TONIGHT 8pm ET/5pm PT There’s much to discuss about austerity as a form of murder. Is it possible to fix a system that is designed to control the working class? Is oppression a glitch or a necessity under predatory capitalism? events.teams.microsoft.com/event/192e33...

We also need ppl to understand that taxes are not what pays for any federal government spending, whether it’s on war or public healthcare.

Interesting turn of events … 🤔

@ProudSocialist on Twitter
Tuesday: Anthem says it won't pay for complete duration of anesthesia for patients' surgeries.
Yesterday: Health insurance CEO fatally shot in
New York.
Today: Anthem walks back unpopular policy and says it will pay for full duration of anesthesia for patients' surgeries.

The federal government is the monopoly issuer of our currency. It is not reliant on our taxes to pay for anything. Please ffs, realize the illogic of believing otherwise and stop passing on the lie.

A sign that says “There’s no such thing as taxpayer funded it’s all government funded”

Grumpy Jules @grumpyjules.bsky.social · 18/11/2023

That sign is the opposite of the truth. Please don’t perpetuate such destructive lies. Taxes do not fund federal govt spending.

🚨 PSA for people still not getting it: Public svcs don’t mean providers work for free, it means the currency-issuing govt pays their salaries instead of the recipients of the svcs. And no, b4 u get all galaxy brained, it’s NOT anyone’s tax dollars.

This would’ve been my parents’ generation. I definitely am not better off than they were and now I’m doing everything in my power to make sure my kid doesn’t end up worse off than me. :/ It’s all on purpose. The predator class can’t thrive w a happy, healthy gen pop.

Facebook post from Amazon 90% off deals that asks: what did the youth of the 1950s have that the youth now days don’t have, followed by a comment from Julie Alberding that reads: A chance at a better life than their parents.

I am 100% with Daniel on this. I refuse to play along with the neoliberal tax-to-pay-for narrative ever again. Know better, do better.

Damn it’s rough being a noob. 🥴 Where are all the ppl who understand the difference between a currency issuer & a currency user (or would like to) on here? 🙃
