Mercer Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 I couldn't even picture my parents taking my beer away as an adult, "for my own good". I hear they even track people using their cell phones, and can search their phones any time, even without suspecting a crime, and just delete shit. Same people that laughed at us when we said giving up your guns, means you basically give up everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not doubting that it’s happening but find it odd the USA is focusing on this. Cynical side of me is thinking it’s an attempt to switch focus on how tucked it up it is here by pointing at Australia and their fucked up app tracking, Marshall Law shit they got going on.

Mercer Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 One way too look at that is it's kind of cool of him to pose with those kids, that are probably too young to understand politics anyway. Why not try to win over new recruits, and ignore the fact some redneck parents draped their kids in propoganda. Most people outside of far left, and far right are just jaded from the low brow, troll shittyness. A morally sound adult knows those kids def don't deserve to be excluded from photo opps because of their parents. I mean, I can't be the only one thinking Biden, or at least some of the people connected to his ear peace probably do know how to read, and just don't give a fuck because coming off as a whiney bitch that says no, isn't what they were there to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercer Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share Posted September 14, 2021 That “tax the rich” graphic also happens to be part of her merch line, so all this free advertising/publicity more than paid for the dress/ticket . As a capitalist, I’m actually impressed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercer Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share Posted September 14, 2021 Like we're not already punishing people for becoming financial successful enough. Ironically, It's the bottom half that actually isn't contributing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Knight Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Misleading graph tbh. Could break down why but I get too impatient typing on the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share Posted September 14, 2021 @Dark_KnightData is straight from the IRS. The "rich" already pay way more than their "fair" share. The top 50% of earners pay 88% of all taxes, and the top 1% all ready pay 40% of all income taxes in the U.S. I know that's hard to believe considering how mainstream Socialist propoganda is these days. I personally find facts straight from the source are more accurate, and less misleading, than super compelling merch slogans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Knight Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I mean you know as well as anyone else that graphic “black and white” representation of an issue with so many variables is subject to question. That graph is very broad. Socialist propaganda can be just as misleading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Knight Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Graphs and stats are the key tools for propaganda these days from both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Knight Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 And yes I get the source. Doesn’t mean the argument at hand was intended to be disputed in such a broad manner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercer Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share Posted September 14, 2021 I'm not saying rich/middle/poor people never cheat on taxes (god bless tax evaders of all income brackets) and yes, there are an unquantifiable variables from one individual, to another. All the stats we can't account for like tax evasion, etc. are pretty much irrelevant to the discussion. It's a fact that almost half the tax revenue taken in by the Federal Government (40%) is from the top 1% of earners already. Politicians are like musicians, playing the taxpayer's emotions like a fiddle. When the music stops, and actual facts are presented that counter their bullshit narratives, it's really hard to accept. The illusion just feels much better that reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
