It’s hard to find something dumber than this.

Rigged for the rich
35 major corporations paid their execs MORE than what they paid in federal income taxes between 2018 and 2022.
— Robert Reich (@RBReich) March 13, 2024
Each of the companies generated billions of dollars in profit over the same period.
When I say the system is rigged for the rich, this is what I mean.

Touche
The thing I think is most interesting about the pan Vice President Harris bought in France is that she paid $400 more for it than Exxon, BP, Shell, Chevron and Amazon paid in federal income taxes last year, combined.

Phuck you
Seems Phil Mickelson won $2.2 million dollars for winning two golf tournaments over the course of two weeks in the British Isles, and after taxes, he "only" cleared $900,000 for hitting a little ball across a lot of grass into a hole. This, Mickelson claims is making it hard to motivate himself to work harder.
Setting aside the fact that Mickelson should get down on his hands and knees every single day for the rest of his life and give thanks for getting paid an exorbitant amount of money for playing a game that serves no discernible good whatsoever for the fate of the planet, can you imagine the uproar if a real athlete, like Tom Brady or Derek Jeter, had said the same about the taxes they pay? Instead, the "readers" of Breitfart act as if Mickelson is Nelson fucking Mandela.
If it's such a burden, though, Mickelson can always retire and manage retail stores for a living. He'd quickly find that fear of starvation and homelessness are excellent motivators for working harder.
At the very least he'd learn--as I have--that having a gut that hangs over your belt sure gets in the way when you're trying to pick up all the shit customers drop on the salesfloor.

Whither the American Dream?
Happy days are here again...if you're wealthy.
We are number one--the champs, numero uno, the winners--in income inequality. In fact, it isn't even close--our nearest competitor, the U.K., had the share of income among the top 1% increase by 6%, while we increased by 10%. Seems it's a confluence of cutting taxes for the wealthy and regulations for corporate America...and having the both of them use their extra money to cut their taxes and their regulations even more.
And who got screwed? You and me--they got richer and the trickle down that republicans would have us believe was a foregone conclusion never came close to fruition. (Truth be told, any time you hear about how wealth is going to trickle down you'd better hold onto your wallet or purse--they're bound to be quite a bit lighter monetarily shortly).
And the American dream? Why it ended up in the pockets of the moneyed elite.
And they don't give a good goddamn what kind of future you or your kids have.

The new revolution
Noted political philosopher and humanitarian Adam Kokesh, the mastermind of the life altering Loaded Gun March, is now calling for a revolutionary army to topple the government of the United States.
Near as I can tell, the reasons for this have something to do with the right to carry an AK-47 with an unlimited magazine capacity and having to pay taxes for our military, the police, firefighters, teachers, Medicare, Social Security and a bevy of other services that upwards of 90% of Americans (not Liberals, Americans) support.
Kind of pales in comparison to "...life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" don't you think?

And the horse you rode in on
Seems one Stephen Olemacher of the Associated Press has thrown a pity party for America's wealthy with this piece on how much those poor folks have to pay in taxes compared to thirty years ago. As is often the case with pieces written by folks who work for the Asshat Press, Olemacher fails to provide the contexts of a) the percentage of this country's wealth they own, b) the percentage of their salaries vis-a-vis the rest of us poor bastards, and c) the current percentage of their taxes as compared to the historical mean.
I write this conclusion for posterity only because I'll probably be gone when the economic revolution finally comes to America (and it will come--I work with many staunch republicans, all of whom realize that something's fucked up economically with America and it's only a matter of time before they realize that the problem isn't the government, but corporate America and the wealthy and join the rest of us who already realize that economically, the dice are loaded), but when the revolutions's leaders, tired of watching their children starve, begin executing the rich that they be reminded to execute their enablers, too.
