in a specific type of tax, not all taxes, but yea
ah fair
I think capital gains was the one he dodged
oh god I hate lobbying
oh yea
I think anyone not being lobbied to hates it
lobbying is litearlly the most BS THING
but it will NEVER GET CHANGED because
well
every politician is getting lobbied!
issues like this you kinda have to convince llike 75%+ of the population to prioritize it heavily because that’s the only way the politicians will sweat about it
and well
good luck with that lmaoooo
according to a gallup poll like 70% of americans hate the two-party system tho
its just that its not their top issue i think?
well not hate but wish we had viable 3rd parties
more because the issue is no politician will ever nuke their own income
that too
flashbacks to fuckin
founding fathers republican virtue
Europe does this right it is good
I mean the founding fathers hated political parties as a whole
yeah probably
but its very frustrating as an american to have to vote between the guy i hate and the guy i hate slightly less
yeah
well
republican virtue was “the ability to subordinate private interest for the public good”
e.g. stop being so self-interested
which makes total sense but no modern politican has that lmao
oh also i think its really funny how like
the right is always like “JOE BIDEN’S AMERICA THIS IS WHAT JOE BIDEN AND HIS WOKE AGENDA WILL DO”
and no one on the left (that i know of) actually likes joe biden the way they would have you believe they do
