Enshittification

Why don’t we just charge the homeless infinite tax money to support the government?

I mean, I agree with this and think it should be spread widely, but probably should be in politics or politicalmemes.

Enshittification is, from the sidebar, "The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits."

It's like Robin Hood, but in reverse...

It's the same in Germany, people listed the actual tax cuts that'll happen per income bracket for each of the major parties, and surprisingly the nazi party that keeps drumming up the "We're the common man's party!!!!!!" is the one that wants to make the rich richer.

And if you want to make the rich more richer than the fucking FDP, a factually one-man party by a guy that can only comment "But what about Porsche drivers?!" to any problem you put in front of him, wow are you a rich assholes party.

Remember, fellow Germans: Today we vote. And if on the way out you vote with your fist in the face of a nazi or nazi-sympathizing voter, that's a bonus!

These people have to live somewhere. Why is nobody killing them?

not the same article but same people

The complete opposite of what we need is a pretty good summary of Donald Trump

IMAGINE GIVING A FUCK ABOUT $36K WHEN YOU MAKE NEARLY $1 MILLION / YR!!!

what if we all just don't pay taxes

This is such a slap in the face. The tax breaks for the rich will be barely noticeable for them. The increase for everyone else could result in noticeable hardship.

Don't worry. It'll trickle down... eventually... The cash might be a bit red though... /j

Print, laminate and start ticking this up around your local town centre.

This needs to be called Trumps Tax Rises, and repeated over and over again until it sinks in with the morons who voted for him.

The only way the folks who need to see things like these infographics will see them though:

For 30k, one expected to pay 7500/yr taxes, although usually that was diverted by the employer and not noticed as much (other than the standard "why is my pay 465/wk instead of 576/wk?" question).

This would knock the takehome down by ~$30/wk due to the increased withholding by the employer to cover that 1500.

And when we look at it from our comfy warm homes, it doesn't seem like a lot. But, I can confirm from when I was working 3 jobs to support a university habit, that $30 was fucking crushing. I think that's 2 days a week of food, when every penny is bled out of you already.

Wanna bet the GqP is looking at it like $30 is nothing, like they're just skipping the appetizer at the clubhouse one day a week?

America, the home of enshittifiction!

Yes, I can image.even more regressive Republican tax cuts. It isn't like this is unusual for them or something unique to Trump. It is just more of the same shifting of the tax and cost burden down the economic ladder.

Also you gotta factor in inflation caused by the injection of $4.5 trillion of additional rich guy wealth into the economy. So even a lot of people making over $300k are probably going to be losing out after you factor in inflation caused by others getting more.

You live in a serfdom

Solution: stop paying taxes.

And the toothless knuckledraggers who'll be hit the hardest by this shit will thank the Führer for making America great again.

I make 60k a year and pay 32k in taxes.

America’s largest, consistently profitable corporations saw their effective tax rates fall from an average of 22.0 percent to an average of 12.8 percent after the Trump tax law went into effect in 2018.

The 296 largest and consistently profitable U.S. corporations in this study paid $240 billion less in taxes from 2018 to 2021 than if they had continued to pay the effective rates they’d paid before the Trump tax law.

While profits for the largest, continuously profitable U.S. corporations rose by 44 percent after passage of the Trump tax law, their federal tax bills dropped by 16 percent.

The number of these corporations paying tax rates of less than 10 percent increased from 56 to 95 after the Trump tax law went into effect.

Many of the largest and most well-known corporations in the country — including Walmart, Verizon, Disney, and Meta — had the largest tax reductions after the Trump tax law went into effect.

I love basically losing a month of my income when we're already barely getting by. Fuck this fucking shithead administration to hell with a rusty whisk.

Needs a source to go with it
