most effective tax reform

[–] problematicPanther 11 points 3 months ago (6 children)

so, going back to your analogy of thinking of stock like homes, we pay property tax on our homes if we own them. Not much, comparatively, but we pay tax on it nonetheless. If stocks are an asset like a home, they should be taxed based on the value of those stocks.

when the hell did the dem party become the party of lethal military, border wall and fracking? It's like they wanted to alienate their base.

I'm done. I can't with them anymore. I've voted dem every single election since 08 and they can't seem to beat a literal fascist 2 out of 3 times. It's not because they aren't the progressive party, it's because they don't actually do anything. they talk, but don't act.

[–] problematicPanther 36 points 3 months ago (12 children)

This was the last time i vote for a dem candidate. they pay mouth service to progressive policies, but at the end of the day, they do next to nothing for us.

back in in the 2010s when obama was president, there was a time when the dems controlled the house AND the senate at the same time. we still didn't get any real progressive shit passed. the only thing i can think of is daca and obamacare. we didn't get single payer, universal nationalized healthcare, we didn't get robust protections for the working class, we didn't responsibly pull out of iraq or afghanistan, the environment is fucked and there's nothing that we can do about it anymore, big banks got bailed out at the expense of the working class, university cost was and has continued to be at an all time high. They didn't fix the gerrymandering the gop has been getting away with. They didn't set term limits on justices. they didn't fight back when the Rs blocked merick garland. They did nothing to fix the broken electoral system. They did nothing to fix the economic policies set in the reagan era. they did nothing to set a law banning PACs, lobbyists or special interests. the only thing the dem party has going for it is that they are not literally the party of fascists.

2 weeks before the election wasn't the time to start getting excited about a third party. The time for third partying is now, and keep it up until the next one. I'm not going to forgive the dem party for their inaction and they should absolutely be punished by no longer existing as the opposition party.

It's also literally on video where he said project 2025 isn't his platform. Guess what.

dystopian hellscape where government has an algorithm to check whether your period has come in a given month, and if you've missed more than a few weeks, you'll be listed as pregnant. And then if you're not pregnant anymore for any reason other than giving birth, then you'll be prosecuted for having an abortion.

it's fine to kill all X when X is objectively evil, like Nazis and slavers. They aren't your friends, they'll kill you and everyone you love without a second thought. It's not time to play the nuance game and say "but but but killing is bad!", yeah it is. it is bad.but the only way to stop fascism is by killing it. y you can't debate it when the boot's on your neck.

[–] problematicPanther 9 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Yes, actually. I'm not saying that all killing is moral. but there are actually objectively bad people and organizations in the world. In one or two wars the US fought in, the US soldiers were actually fighting against objectively evil people and organizations. It's fine to shoot nazis and slavers.

I dunno man, an official government which forbids women to literally even speak sounds a lot worse than the shit the US pulled when we propped up Hamid Karzai.

Are Ukrainian soldiers evil for defending their homeland? What about republican fighters in Spain in the 30s? What about the partisans in italy in that same time? Or the french resistance? Killing an evil person, or evil people, doesn't make one evil.
