washington state just had its first payments on its new 7% capital gains tax on all stock and commodity sales over $250,000.00.

of the 3100 people that paid the tax ... they paid out OVER $800,000,000.00 to washington state.

There are still ~2500 people that own have yet to file and pay in the state.

So ~6000 people are hoarding at least $1,500,000,000.00 in washington state alone. Billions just sitting there in the hands of basically a few thousand people.

Fuck your sales tax.

Tax the fuck out of the rich.

Here's your daily reminder that when rich people talk about those on benefits as being lazy, feckless scroungers who just want to sponge off the hard work of others... it is 100% a projection.

I kind of feel like willfully cheating on your taxes should be punished the way you'd be punished for stealing from every single resident of the country.

Ok, it's 30 days community service for stealing a few hundred bucks... times 300 million people who were robbed. Get fucked, rich people.

I said willfully because our tax system is complicated and I don't want someone to get hanged because they legitimately didn't understand it.

No no, it’s the single parent living in their car who relies on food benefits.

Can we just call USA a kleptocracy now?

Cheaper to lobby some Republikan congressmen to underfund the IRS than to pay their fair share.

It's been going on since the founding fathers signed the eclaration eclaration of independence. They were all landowners and some even had slaves. The Constitution was written not for equality or the redistribution of wealth but for the rich, landowners to keep it and keep everyone else away from it.

It's become more obvious now as wealth has grown so incremently with the top 3% having more than some countries and are now at the point of untouchable, able to control so much of what's happening should be no surprise.

Europe did it when first colonialized the New World, claiming Manifest Destiny taking land, wiping out civilizations of people all under the name of god.

It's generational with the belief to not trust the government. They're trying to take it from you.

While one side tells you they're trying to take it from you, the other side is telling you, they're trying to take it from you.

The problem is, they are.

To the surprise of NO ONE! Jeeze Lueeze. IS Every ONE an idiot now? ~ haven't they been paying attention ~ all the WOW, GOTCHA moments that WERE ALWAYS THERE?! Suddenly they See?
