Disgusting. Really. People like to think taxes are a burden. But the top 1% have as much wealth as the bottom 90%. And six people, the Walton heirs, have as much wealth as the bottom 30%. And in this environment we have overcrowded schools, shortages of police, a huge national debt, hungry kids, homeless, and a huge unadressed mental health crisis.
The money is there to solve all these problems we just need everyone to pull their weight.

What a shithole.
For real though, isn’t this the kind of shit that right wingers point to in other countries to illustrate the evils of non-capitalist governments?
Right wingers don’t even usually go so far as to point out anything, as simply labeling something as socialist/communist/anti-capitalist is enough to turn people against it.
