D.C. Official: Jan. 6 Response Would Be 'Vastly Different' If Rioters Were Black "I think it would have been a vastly different response if those were African Americans trying to breach the Capitol.” House Sergeant-at-Arms William J. Walker 52 people out of a cast of thousands were arrested on January 6th 2021 sacking the U.S. Capitol in an attempted Fascist coup d'etat. They were overwhelmingly White. 289 people were arrested on June 1st alone during 'Black Lives Matter' protests for racial justice. They were predominantly Black. D.C. Mayor: Jan. 6 Security Failed Over Belief White Nationalists Are Police Friendly
First you want me to believe the wealthy don't care about the poor and middle class, now you expect me to believe that cops are racist. Dammit Piobaire, you're just a cynic! You need to go out and buy an American flag!
and yet we will hold our nation hostage over the debt ceiling which could easily be wiped out by repealing that tax policy - trickle down economics - and that big break Trump gave his rich buddies - and while we are at it - lets look at some of these mega churches with their million dollar pastors that apparently get to skip on taxes because they are a church... hmmm. No - let's just tax the hell out of the working class fool who keeps doing the same good thing year after year - simply taxing himself to death - and then some when he's dead.
The energy the wealthy use to pass taxes that support our communities on to the less wealthy is astounding. Sales taxes, flat taxes, license fees, tax rate cuts are all regressive taxes that help the wealthy avoid paying anything like their fair share at the expense of the less wealthy. Have they, the Republicans, no shame?
Of course they have no shame! Although they are certainly starting to get better with the election of that great american , George Santos---the inventor of money, the ten time academy award winner, the first man of the moon, the second man to pitch a no hitter in the world series----etc,etc, (resume much too long to post here)---yes that Mr Santos. We can't help but realize that the republicans have finally realized the errors of their ways when such an american hero is finally recognized. We can now look for the rich and corporations to pay their fair share in taxes, the the sex offenders and liars to be impeached and thrown off the supreme court, all electricity to be generated by the sun and the wind----it's just astounding how much life is going to be so much better for all humanity very soon!! Rejoice , fellow citizens---paradise is coming!!
It works...but only if you're in the top 1%. Look at how the 1% are doing right now, and tell me the system isn’t rigged 1% now control 1/3 of the world's wealth
Income and wealth inequality in the US is an international disgrace. Not coincidentally the start of the great grab by the wealthy was 1980… wonder who became President then. Most of us sick of the Republican mantra about “free enterprise” and dogged belief in the rich getting richer….history teaches us that such inequality is not the foundation for a free and stable society.
