By the time four years rolls around ... they'll be suggesting outright slavery in order to keep the lights running
politics
Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

"suggesting"
4? That's generous.
They'll have slaves in concentration camps long before that.
Slavery is legal for convicts, and there's going to be a whole lot of people in prison camps. But whenever anyone suggested that this should be addressed, it was too woke for even Democrats to talk about it.
Oh, how surprising. Who could have ever seen this coming!
reducing corporate tax rates
Oh, right, I was wondering why raising the taxes on the lower and middle class would prompt budget cuts too
As the purges commence, I'm wondering if there will even be a functioning IRS come April. When I send in my return will there be anyone at the IRS to process it?
Depends on what tax bracket you are in and maybe who you voted for. The new IRS will be even more charged up to go after certain classes and political foes. They'll be even more lenient on the uberrich, though.
I doubt someone like fElon or Bezos or Cuckerberg will even have to file taxes. Who the hell is going to punish them if they don't?
I built a little empire out of some crazy garbage
Called the blood of the exploited working class
But they've overcome their shyness
Now they're callin' me Your Highness
And a world screams "Kiss me, son of god."
Great song
So, you are saying to all those union guys that voted for donvict - because he's a bigly manly white dude and not a pro-trans pro-DEI woke black lady that planned to murder us all with the antifa Communism - that this pampered rich socialite from Manhattan IS NOT going to do anything for them, and in fact, will be fucking them over?
Why, you could knock me over with a feather.
This will help all that "economic anxiety".
