The Largest Upward Transfer of Wealth in American History
The Largest Upward Transfer of Wealth in American History
House Republicans voted to advance a bill that would offer lavish tax cuts for the rich while slashing benefits for the poor.
Of course, this is going to affect the working class first and worst. But stay with me here.
My wife and I are what you'd call upper middle class. Thanks to our college education, union jobs in public agencies, and mostly being smart with money, our assets are not meager.
Are you like me? Don't think you're exempt. They're coming for our assets too. They want all of us living paycheck to paycheck, begging our employers to not fire us.
What I'm saying is, the class struggle is everyone's struggle. If you're not a billionaire, you're at risk. Act like it.
I really want this to be it. I want a big enough mass of freak conservative boomers to die off of old age and for the republicans to finally push everyone else hard enough that this country finally fucking snaps and swings left so hard that Reagan's grave belches black smoke for a month. I hope we swing left so hard that all the Fox News assholes run bawling off to Russia, all the neoliberal dickheads move to their neoliberal paradise of [some offshore oil rig], and we end up fixing all kinds of shit that's been broken for basically my entire life.
I know it won't; we'll just get a bunch of working class republicans standing around the wreckage and mumbling "can you imagine how much worse it would have been under Biden?" to each other.
And let's not forget. Tens of millions of magas, having witnessed the past few months, would vote him in again tomorrow if we gave them a do-over.
As furious as I am at the oligarchs taking over every last thing, evil greedy bastards gonna evil greedy bastard.
That anger pales in comparison to my rage at the tens of millions of my countrymen who dragged the rest of us into this fucking hellscape with them for no reasons beyond:
-Ignorance
-Hate
The ratio of those varies from maga voter to maga voter, but IME those are pretty much the only two reasons I see for why they have condemened not only themselves but also the entire rest of the nation to life in this emerging dystopia. They've already killed people in this country with their vote, and the numbers will only go up.
Yet somehow we all still have to go to work and get along every day, but I truly don't care if I never see or speak to a single Trump voter ever again, and that includes so-called friends and family members. They are all dead to me, or as dead as familial and work obligations will allow. Every last one can choke on a bag of dicks and razor blades as far as I care.
Edit - I beg you, random silent downvoter, to explain to me where I've gone wrong in the above.
Hey, yanks, until your centre right party (the Democrats) is willing to go all in and run candidates at all levels of government on the slogan of "The Largest Downward Transfer of Wealth in American History", your far right party (the Republicans) will keep repeating this. But if it makes you feel better, go back to blaming Muslims in Michigan or whatever.
So far
"Upward transfer"
"Theft" is the word
Considering the entire history of the US is one big upwards transfer of wealth, that is really saying something.
This bill also fully bans Medicaid Gender Affirming Care, adults and all.
So far
They weren’t overly specific in who the bill was beautiful for.
Soon there will be a critical mass of people who have nothing left to lose
The poor die so the rich can get richer.
