We need to protect Social Security for the next generation.

$The Social Security payroll tax is capped at $184,500 in income. So if you're a nurse or construction worker, you pay Social Security on 100% of your income. But if you're a lawyer raking in millions, you only pay Social Security on a tiny fraction of your income. That is not right.$

@goodjobsfirst.org does incredible work to expose how much taxpayers are getting scammed by the tax breaks governments are giving data center projects. We highly recommend following their work & subscribing to them! This is deep economic injustice. From their latest newsletter:

Ohio is Not Alone
With the revelation, Ohio joins a small group of states now losing more than $1 billion to data center tax breaks. In Virginia, the state's data center sales and use tax exemption has grown to $1.9 B a year in state and local revenue losses. That amount could cover aboutu 25,000 average Virginia teacher salaries. In Georgia, data center tax breaks are projected to cost $2.5 billion just in 2026, including $1.1 billion in losses to local governments. A state audit found that most data center projects would have located in Georgia even without the subsidy. In Texas, data center tax exemptions have exploded from a minor line item into a multi-billion-dollar taxpayer commitment. According to a Texas Senate Interim change, the cost of the sales tax exemption for qualifying data centers grew from an estimated $14.6 million in the 2014-15 biennium to a projected $3.3 billion in 2028-29.
The pattern is clear: Big Tech announces enormous capital investment. Politicians celebrate. Tax breaks flow. Then, years later, the bill arrives - much bigger than ever imagined.
