When JB Pritzker ran for Illinois governor campaigning on raising taxes on the Wealthy he certainly knew about the “Systematized Tax Evasion†complex. Won’t corporations and wealthy individuals in Illinois just hide more of their money so less is taxed?
Made in the USA= Weapons, Wars and Regime Change.
Imagine how the Indigenous people felt….when we invaded
This is a 1/2 & 1/2 video….partly true….mostly false..
Look up Dr Stephanie Kelton. …Warren Mosler. …William Mitchell
Taxes are necessary. …..but NOT FOR FEDERAL SPENDING
We don't need taxes from the rich….even though it would feel good to tax them 90%. …..we need all the people to have their voices out on the front line.
If we are not willing to strike….don't pay your federal taxes! !!!
We export JOBS….not products
The US is an importer more than an exporter.
Wallstreet is a rich man's casino
Free market isn't free….it's austerity for the public purpose
Federal taxes do not fund government spending
Individual States ARE revenue bound
We have been under a capitalists coup for over 50 years it is almost complete
Time for some Dr Stephanie Kelton. …..Warren Mosler. ….William Mitchell
Time for some truth…#LearnMMT
These guys should be in jail, con game. Not a dime invested in workers or infrastructure.
9:15 "….and here, the invisible hand is nowhere to be seen." Ah, the hand is invisible. What do you need, a dictionary? Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Africa was developed long before the arrival of Europeans. It was developed according to African culture and standards. That is why the land was pristine not polluted and all life was free to roam, travel. Calling Africans undeveloped, third world is just a watering down by white people of what Trump called these people (countries). Not developed is the current term meaning not westernized, not colonized, have not given up the African in them. Same as was said about taking the Indian out of the Indian. Africa and its culture is currently being destroyed by current day colonization, imperialism coded as being "developed." Being developed is just a continuation of westerners historic disrespect of the culture of others and pushing their culture as being the superior one. Africa's greatest development was always the absence of western capitalism, its currency and its religion.
This is the current failure of supposed liberalism, progressive. It is about opposing the other team and not considering the issue. Taxation is a western concept whose abuse by the state led to the death of 90% of the indigenous of the Americas. After all the American Revolution was about taxation by this entity called the state or church. The Declaration of Independence states no taxation without consent. I agree. Instead of promoting theft by the entity called the state, progressives should ask why did corporations start on the tax reduction roller coaster? They were taxed at an exorbitant rate. We should be questioning why we are taxed, have to pay license and fees set by the government without our input or approval. The charges by the state which for all intense and purposes have the same rules and organization as does a gang, are never lowered, cancelled, returned…they are only added to or increased. Why is it that this make believe entity thinks that every time we receive currency it is entitled to a cut of it? There continues to be a clouded line of distinction between what is consider liberal/progressive and what is conservative.
Thanks for making this talk available. also appreciate the South Africa reference will be following the South African scenario closely.
New Tax System suggestion: Tax the gross sales price! We don't care what your contrived net is, we tax the gross sales price directly!!
