As we tend to say in Europe, the US is a third-world country wearing a Gucci belt

How about give me all the fucking social security I paid over the course of my career first, instead of handing it to like 12 billionaires who definitely don’t need it?
just fyi - the US national debt is $36 trillion. That’s about $110 million per American. So hey folks, what say we all chip in and get that thing paid off!
But wait, we could just make the billionaires pay it! Sorry no, the combined net worth of all 900-ish billionaires in America is less than $7 trillion. That’s how deep in debt this country is.
My math came out a little different: $36,000,000,000,000 ÷ 340,000,000 = $105,882 per person.
Still agree with you, though. This is above the median household income, and the people who extract more wealth from this country should also share a greater burden of its debt.
If we taxed the wealthy at 1950s rates we’d get it paid off quickly
What’s the Venmo address so I can request money from it?
Can I send them a request?
Tip your landlord
Sorry, I don’t tip.
I do, but only for good service
I’m sorry are my taxes not enough? Try taking some from the billionaires you just gifted milkions in tax breaks…
I don’t even understand why someone with 100 million needs a billion or a milkion… There’s no end to unchecked ambition.
I still see on other social media on blaming everything and everyone on the growing debt, but not on taxing the rich.
They all ready get my taxes
