Oh NO! We NEED to Raise Taxes to PAY for these things OTHERWISE who's going to Take Our Jobs while Poisoning Our Water while Killing Our Children while making Subpar Fruit Videos?

Dont worry, they will wait for the current tranche of laws to pass cementing that we can never create taxes specifically on the wealthy in the future. Like Californias prop 42

https://calmatters.org/politics/2026/10/newsom-tax-propositions-november-election/

Wasington's IP26-645. Iowa's comnstitutional ammendment. North Carolinas "constitional taxpayer protections". Missouri's ammendment 5.

Protecting the wealthys money is all the rage lately, a brand new booming legislative goldrush.

Then they will let the AI bubble implode-- not before. We have a few months still. Live it up. Play the market like its still the gilded age.

laws tend to stop mattering when the vast majority of people stop believing in a legal system and start rioting and dragging the rich from their homes and bunkers though

The US has been hosting riots for decades. It hasn't changed anything. It has, if anything, cemented fascist rule.

We NEED to Raise Taxes

Nonsense. We'll just cut spending, instead. Donnie Deals will try and plunder SS/Medi, after he scours away anything that's left of public education and transportation.
