Our American Government in 2021

[Patrick Chewing]

Paying people not to work, and taxing the ones that do.



Backwards as fuuuck.

[ShawkFactory]

2021?

Unemployment benefits have been around for almost 100 years. Income tax for even longer.

And it's never been more perverse and abused than it is this year.

And it's never been more perverse and abused than it is this year.

In what way?

[DoctorP]

...allowing major corporations tax breaks and collecting most taxes from a shrinking middle class.

Allowing an outdated infrastructure to pollute the land.

Killing innocent civilians and creating anti-american sentiment overseas.

Allowing AOC to wear weird dresses at elite societal functions.

Didn't stop a fascist Trump movement when it had a chance because it needs the votes.

Paying people not to work, and taxing the ones that do.

As a result, there are more job openings than unemployed people...

...allowing major corporations tax breaks and collecting most taxes from a shrinking middle class.And the corporations and billionaires hide their money overseas and then ask for bailouts. Then take the bailouts paid for by mostly the middle class and invest it overseas... like China.

This. Plus, there's a reason why shipping and fulfillment is backed up almost everywhere.

Putting a trigger warning on our Constitution for "harmful content". :facepalm

Obama said he saw our Constitution as an obstacle. This administration has taken it to a whole new level

[tontoz]

I seem to recall getting stimulus checks over the previous two years.

Eight of the 10 most federally dependent states were Republican, while seven of the 10 least federally dependent states were Democratic, which suggests that overall Republican states are more dependent upon federal assistance than Democratic ones.

And all of those trashy deep south red counties are living off blue taxes. Blue counties make up 70% of our GDP.

The funny thing about red vs blue is that most minorities aren't actually blue. I'm not talking about how they vote, obviously.

They just pretend to be blue in the voting booth because they perceive that to benefit them the most. And the moment that most of them get a substantial amount of money, most of them turn red. And don't get me wrong, white people are just as big of selfish assholes as minorities.

Most wealthy college educated white people and just celebrities of any color in general vote blue for the social credit, not because they actually give a shit about anyone except for themselves.

People are hyper self focused, increasingly so in 2021.

It makes one question whether anyone has any actual political beliefs or they're just trying to push whatever helps them the most in the moment, however that manifests, be it monetarily or socially.

It’s kinda an obsolete system at this point. Gotta find a better way.

It seems they tax more for people who weigh more than 400 pounds these days.

Well, if that means Fatrick has to eat less it then may be a blessing in disguise for him.
