American's living Paycheck to Paycheck

[Smitty-48]

Like the Lefties never cease with their railing against the "corporations", when most coporations are actually rather small and hanging on for dear life.

You know what the socialists say here when small business owners say that they are being taxed into a financial grave?

"Market forces, I guess your business plan was bad"

Orly? "Market forces" when it suits them, to justify their confiscatory tax policies.

[Smitty-48]

And you know why they say that? Because all they care about is the unions, and the unions are in a symbiotic relationship with multinational corporations.

The Left doesn't give a rats ass about the small business, because those small businesses are actually in competition with their multinational unionized interests, so they want them to go under, and they are propping up multinational uber alles as they go.

The socialist left wants everything centrally planned, the government the corporations the unions, as one big conglomorate, and nothing existing otuside of that.

Epic sunset going down here by the way, it's good to be the king.

I wonder what the poor are doing this evening?

Oh wait, no I don't, virtue signalling is for the progs.

Look at John D Rockafeller over here enjoying the sunset. I cant afford such luxuries as I live below ground in the sewers with the other impoverished mole people subsiding on garbage and living in a cardboard shanty town.

Yeah, well that's the impression given, with all the hysterical blubbering for the poor around here, like if Haitians think Montreal is a better go than Miami, they must be out of their fuckin' minds, Canadians all want to flee in the other direction, certainly come the winds of December.

Isnt a Canadian complaining about the a cold borderline treason?

[Smitty-48]

Oh and by the way, whenever you hear these Lefites invoke "minimum wage!" for "the poor!", whether as useful idiots or otherwise, that's just the unions as well, because the whole point of minimum wage is actually to drive small business out of business, forcing everyone into the arms of the multinationals, where the lefties then intend to unionize them to keep everything centrally planned.

Sure, some are just virtue signallers, some are just bleeding hearts, the useful idiots, but behind the doctrine, stands the socialist left, and their symbiotic relationship with big business.

I'm against confiscatory taxes too.

Plenty of room in our bloated military budget.

Taxes in America are more related to some sort of hyper Protestant self flaggelation complex, because it's not like you're actually being taxed for the Pentagon, that's all treasuries, you don't really pay the freight on that, a trillion dollar national security budget, a trillion dollar deficit, that's how that goes.

In the end, King Dollah just prints money, you are only taxed for "moral" reasons.

Depends how cold. At -30C and below, you get a waiver.

Let's hear from the useful idiots, ehrm, I mean the minimum wage advocates regarding how the unions GAF about prospective employees vs. already-existing-dues-paying employees.

[Smitty-48]

Well carry on with that, I'm in the process of explaining to Vic, that since income tax was created to pay for war, and King Dollah doesn't actually pay for war anymore, income tax in America is actually a big scam being perpetrated on behalf of the Chuch Lady.

got anywhere I can read more?

Almost half of federal revenue comes from individual income tax from what I can see. To the tune of 1.48 trillion.
