Same with kamela harris and fauxcohontas, they actually have some dogshit plans on paper so atleast they are clearly defined and we can see how bad it is, lol
The best politicans are the ones that say "that's not my job"
Milton Friedman's negative income tax also only reimbursed you 50% of what the threshold was, so the more money you made through work the better. It's a pretty key difference in my opinion
Dear Carlos;

No I’m pretty sure they see Jesus Christ as only a prophet not the son of god. https://youtu.be/kDLlsEHH6wk
Tim is straight up wrong on this one.
Like I get having to maintain a second apartment is expensive, but congressmen make well over the median income in the US and they don't even work that much more.
beautiful! The capitalist "America will never be socialist" president takes basically no salary, while the social democrat demands higher pay
I could easily afford two mortgages if I were making 14k a month before taxes, plus government benefits like not having to pay for health insurance and having a majority of my travel expenses written off.
seriously, at 14k per month before taxes, I'd have my student loans paid off within a year and still have a bunch of money left over to pay mortgage on a rather nice house >.>
And congress ia not a full time job, they only work 8 months a year, they get more time off than teachers
And much of that is "state work" which is pretty loosely defined and how much time is spent on campaigning?
Here's what got me going. AOC said that they need 4k a year so they won't abuse other forma of income. Is 4k a year enough to do that, ofc not
No amount of money will buy their integrity
_man_ they churn these out so fast
babylon bee and hardtimes have quickly become my favorite satire news sites
The satire practically write themselves
Don’t need to put too much effort into it when the world is bonkers
that's very true
they do a good job of coming up with clever spins to point out how absurd it is, though
since they generally seem to do stories based on stuff that is actually true, and just stretch it a bit beyond reality
@Putz
They work *in Washington* 8 months a year, they turn around and spend the rest of the year in thier home district.
I thought they spend the rest of the year on vacations paid for by lobbyists.
That's about a month.
Seriously, even Congress can't get away more than a few weeks. (You should see militry leave, and that's semi-mandatry.)
So if you take away the time they spend campaigning, how much time are they spending working
Incumbents shouldn't need to campaign, their performance should speak for itself
Look at the shirts behind AOC
"we have a right to a job." Excuse me what?
You know, that really reminded me of why the left hates Starship Troopers so much (the book, not that ridiculously shitty movie). One of the things that they mention early on is that the goverment is required to offer a job to anyone that wants citizenship, but because they are unable to turn people away, they take every opportunity to make the superflous jobs as soul shatteringly monotonous and horrible as possible.
