its always the economy. and then corruption routing by the elites. Can we ALL PLEASE stop focusing anything on culture wars for the next elections until we get these dumpster fires out? focusing on your racism or special interest is what lead to the destruction of the nation and letting billionaires corrupt our nation as a whole and start wars steal wealth more fraud waste abuse by contractors being 75% of government and gas lighting us to firing 25% of gov workers to hire more contractors. STOP chasing your own special interests.
REMOVE INCOME TAX they DO NOT TAX THE WEALTHY EVER. at least for anyone making 100-200k = lower middle to upper middle pay the most not wealthy as percentage of wealth gained as gas lighting musk says. then you can tax the rest if you want but 90% of the nation should not be paying income tax at all with what the esptein class has pulled recent years bail outs after bailouts wars after wars started by themselves and producing pandemic killing millions for their gains.
its not even about parties both sides are the same but we need to keep them both in check. focus MUCH less about culture and much more about economy and corruption no one should give one rats ass about lgbtq or cultural rights that is not important. we focus on individual rights not any cultural group. economically though sorry but I will not tolerate concentration of wealth if you are protected by proposition 13 like in ca and other forms of welfare for the wealthy you are the problem. revoke as much of it as possible.
if they had paid regular prop taxes today as the new buyer would they would all go bankrupt. that is a fact. focus on crashing the housing market if you refuse focus on increasing min wage to match the housing market that would be a min wage of 200 dollars an hour now.
thats just a fact. choose to lower prices or raise wages. IDGAF about your culture wars and stop wasting money on bailing out other nations and remove the tariffs. do wealth tax if you can but LAND VALUE TAX is the easiest tax to put in place to replace the income tax.
I’m a fan of prop 13, keeps family homes in the family and allows elderly to enjoy their final years and not being thrown in a state run elder care facility. Which we don’t have enough to even take in all the elders that would lose their home. While i understand your point many elderly aren’t wealthy, their living on social security and small pension payments. Having a expensive house doesn’t do anything for you if you never sell it. Most are in dire need of repair as well which on,y someone with money could take on.
when the “culture war” is if ICE will abduct you and your family tonight.
For Israel!✊🏻🇮🇱✡卐⚡⚡ Heil Trump!🙋
and you are focusing on culture wars yet again still and always this is why you will always turn the country into hell. while letting the epstein class control everything you are getting distracted by the esptein class narrative always. get this through your brain first since iq in USA is much lower now on avg. that the epstein class IS ALWAYS going to gas light using culture to DISTRACT from real issues that is themselves corruption evil starting wars destroying society for their stock gains that is itself a fact. the drop in the stock market at this point would actually help more than hurt most of the people and including housing sorry to boomers but they deserve bankruptcy at this point the most spoiled generation destroying multiple generations for their gains. enslaving preventing 100s of millions from being born with their selfishness 2008 bailouts we all lost multiple generations due to their greed.
your culture war is irrelevant until these issues are resolved you focusing on your petty spout makes you part of the problem
Average IQ has remained pretty steady at ~100...
https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/average-iq-by-state 98 actually its because we are getting stupider as a nation as the esptein class controls the stupid people
Your empire has been hell on earth since its inception. Two nukes, several deathcamps, and a poll booth to distract you.
Wake up, your ballots aren't the solution.
