"As it stands, the #Republican ploy can end only one of two ways: embarrassing failure or the congressional equivalent of a high-stakes heist, breaking the law to dole out trillions of dollars in #TaxCuts to the #wealthy."

Pierre Poilievre's housing plan favours wealthy real estate parasites. Poilievre's broader GST cut would make it possible for people who already have homes to get the tax break on rental units and investment properties. “We're going to be subsidizing a whole bunch of investors, who are treating housing as a way to get rich,” he said. #incomeinequality #housing #speculators #poilievre #wealthy #investors #canada https://www.thespec.com/politics/federal/mark-carney-and-pierre-poilievre-agree-that-canada-needs-more-homes-but-not-on-how/article_f1cdb9d3-9844-5be3-ac21-21d00b2b11ea.html
"Uptown Girl" is a song written and performed by American musician #BillyJoel from his ninth studio album #AnInnocentMan (1983), released in September 1983 as the album's second single. The lyrics describe a #workingclass "#downtown man" attempting to woo a #wealthy "uptown girl". The 12" EP has the tracks "#MyLife", "#JustTheWayYouAre" and "#ItsStillRockAndRollToMe" (catalogue number TA3775), whereas some 7" single versions featured "Careless Talk" as a B-side.

Pierre Poilievre's plan will mean that banks and investment firms will have a much harder job of making sure their clients are following the rules. Clever investors will just find ways to skirt them. Poilievre is really looking to find a way to help the already comfortable earn more taxfree investment income in the businesses they already own. #wealthy #poilievre #investments #canada #election2025 https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/what-problem-is-pierre-poilievre-trying-to-solve-with-his-tfsa-proposal/article_87bcf122-29f6-400c-b3f7-b551f6e13a4a.html

#Mainers call on legislature to fund #education and more by raising taxes on #wealthy
by Channa Steinmetz, March 27, 2025
"As the #Trump Administration continues its efforts to fund huge #billionaire tax cuts by raising the cost of living and making it harder for Americans to access health care, housing, food assistance and education, Mainers, including some with very high incomes, are calling for the state’s wealthiest residents to pay what they truly owe our state.
"#LD1089, 'An Act to Permanently Fund 55 Percent of the State’s Share of Education by Establishing a Tax on Incomes of More than $1,000,000,' would add a 4% income tax surcharge on the fewer than 1% of Mainers whose incomes are above $1 million to fund Maine’s public schools. Currently, #millionaires pay the same percentage of their income in taxes as someone who makes $61,000 – leaving more than $100 million a year (the amount this tax would raise) on the table.
"Bill sponsor Rep. Cheryl Golek (D-Harpswell) said that while the bill would benefit many Mainers, 'adding a modest surcharge has no impact on millionaires.'
"#LD1047, 'An Act to Impose an Additional Tax on Certain Unearned Income', adds a 4% surcharge on capital gains above $250,000 for an individual or $500,000 for a couple filing jointly.
"Since #InvestmentIncome is often taxed at a lower rate than wages, and people with more wealth tend to get more of their income from investments (such as stocks or real estate), this bill helps to address the disparity in tax rates between people with more and less wealth. It would affect only the wealthiest investors, not middle-class families selling homes or withdrawing retirement savings, while raising over $100 million to support #schools, #infrastructure, and community services, said bill sponsor Rep. Grayson Lookner (D-Portland).
"Lucas St. Clair, an immensely wealthy Falmouth resident best known for his work on the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument, testified in favor of both bills. He said that people with money, like his family, should pay more in taxes: 'We care about the future of this state. The inequitable tax structure of today…undermines the overall health of our communities. The wealthy should pay our fair share in taxes. Period.' He also spoke about the results of fairer tax policies: 'Fair tax policies allow more money to stay in communities, ensuring greater investment in public schools, infrastructure, and services like child care and health care.'
"Gorham child care provider Charlotte Jacobs of Scarborough testified in person in favor of both tax bills, saying that Maine’s continued failure to fully fund universal Pre-K and other essential services is a direct consequence of an unbalanced tax system."

As #Trump announces his #tariffs, his admin is also working with #Republicans on a package to extend his expiring #TaxCuts for #corporations & #wealthy individuals. Trump said Wednesday he was still pushing for a deduction for auto loan interest “but only if the car is made in America.”
What does it matter if Google AI is more intelligent if it can't discuss certain important current topics like #Politics or #Conservative #Wealthy #White #Males. That's why I have turned to #AI #LLMs from other sources. #SorryGoogle #FuckYourPropaganda
#Billionaires and #Wealthy who have never lived outside the #BubbleOfPrivilege, because they have never experienced barriers, have a #DistortedWorldView
While I'm thrilled that running water is now a reality for these #citizens of the #USA, clearly not the storied "land of the free and home of the brave", I hope my friends in other countries will take a look at this and get some understanding of the disparity between #classes, #races, #wealthy, #poor etc.
The " #billionaire class" does not exist. #Capitalists are the problem. Most of the country's capitalists, & the #wealthy #corrupt #politicians who pander to them, are not billionaires.
@clintruin @iam_jfnklstrm That's like me jousting with Google Gemini prompting about #Wealthy #White #Conservative #Politicians. It will generally refuse to answer. So, I have to AI/LLMs outside of the US.
@gimulnautti #FreeSpeech is only #Free if you don't scare the #Wealthy and #Privileged
@gimulnautti Something more frightening and insidious is occurring. AI/LLMs are being co-opted. Google Gemini will refuse to answer questions about #White #Wealthy #Conservative Politicians. #DeepSeek (Chinese), #Mistral (French), #Cohere (Canadian) may answer. It's more than a little fucked up that a society built on #FreeSpeech censors thought by biasing #InformationTools like #AI #LLM
Dutton under pressure to give MPs ‘anything to sell’ to voters as cost-of-living budget looms https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/mar/20/dutton-under-pressure-to-give-mps-anything-to-sell-to-voters-as-cost-of-living-budget-looms?
How dare the #Noalition comment on subsidies largess from the #Labor govt’s budget which are focussed on alleviating the #cost-of-living-crisis when a decade of $LNP govt saw massive subsidies to #ExtractiveIndustries and tax breaks for the #wealthy. Does the electorate really have that short a memory?
@the5thColumnist PS--Some #AI like #Google #Gemini will refuse to answer questions about #Wealthy #White #Conservative #Politicians. Learn about AI.
@WarnerCrocker Which #AI did your Nephew use? They are not all the same. Moreover, they are very much like #SpecialNeedsStudents. Some can see images while others are blind. Some can remember past conversations, others can not. Some can fold proteins. Some, like Google Gemini, will refuse to answer political questions about #Wealthy #White #Conservative #Politicians
