    FB_IMG_1714610832062.jpg Remember, the purpose of the federal government is to improve THEIR standard of living, not yours!

    If you earn it, they tax it
    If you spend it, they tax it
    If you save it, they tax it
    If you invest in it, they tax it
    If you build it, they tax it
    If you sell it, they tax it
    If you live in it, they tax it
    If you drive it, they tax it
    If you give it away, they tax it
    When you die, they tax it
    When they run out, they print it
    Then they buy votes with it
    And waste it
    And send to other countries

    Thank god and the demons that we're not governed by the British House of Commons, then we'd have to deal with Boris "Posh Trump" Johnson

    They don't
    They simply purchase both sides

    Then each side makes it look like it is the other side that has been purchased. . . . .
    you cannot be that naive. . . .

    I see you buy into propaganda.

    BTW, that cartoon is depicting British Parliament and doesn't reference taxation.

    It's "propaganda" that our government taxes us to death? Amazing.

    It is propaganda that rich people are overwhelmingly democrat, when they most certainly are not.

    And the government doesn't tax me to death. Fun fact, I've been working full-time since 2007. My total federal income tax after factoring in refundable tax credits and economic stimulus payments related to COVID and the recession is ($49,087). It is pretty damn bipartisan effort to give me money.

    Really? Some of the richest counties in the nation are surrounding D.C. and they ALL vote HEAVILY Democrat.

    K.

    I'm on the side that supports labor unions outside of law enforcement unions striking to get their fair share and support which ever side supports that endeavor. Fair enough?

    I support the right to unionize, as long as it's not required by law, which breeds corruption.

    I'm the one here harping the loudest about the massive theft and corruption committed by the Washington Establishment. Half the folks here believe that Democratic politicians and government officials are all selfless servants of the people and pillars of integrity while all Republicans are evil. Lol.

    You aren't totally wrong, but your example is not good. Yes, DC voted heavily Democratic, but that's not good evidence for "rich people are overly Democratic". There are many possible reasons why - DC is densely populated, majority black, and has a higher percentage of LGBT individuals relative to the US as a whole; these are some reasons...

    Let me help you out with evidence. See below. Upper-income individuals do vote moderately more for Democrats, but NOT overwhelmingly more. You're welcome.

    Based on 2022 earnings:

    Lower income: < ~36k
    Lower-middle: ~36-48k
    Middle: ~48-144k
    Upper-middle: ~144-215k
    Upper: ~215k+

    Fixed it for you:

    Half the folks here believe that Democratic politicians and government officials are all moderately-corrupt profit-making semi-servants of the people and all MAGA Republicans are beyond reason and trapped in a cult. Lol.

    I'm not talking about D.C. I'm talking about the filthy rich counties that surround D.C. and which all HEAVILY support the Democratic Party. I made that clear in my previous post.

    For you, anyone to the right of AOC is a far-right nutcase.
