DO YOU REALLY THINK BILLIONAIRES ARE GOING TO DO THE WORK OF WORKERS IF THE WORKERS WALK OFF THE JOB?

People deserve to be physically safe in their residential area. It is totally unacceptable that ICE physically assaults our residents without a warrant and without due process. This creates fear amongst residents.

No matter what issues you are trying to solve with another country, the answer is never a war. Imagine if I wanted a job and instead of studying for interviews, I waged a war on the CEO of the company! That does not work.

Why should we create a large economic gap between individuals? Would that not bring in tyranny from those that control the money at some point? Why not make IRS regulations such that no one is below a certain poverty line based on the state or city? How about not taxing anyone below an income of USD$100k and have reasonable slabs of taxes such as $100k-$200k 10%, $200k-$300k 20%, $300k-$500k 40%, above $500k 50% taxes? Economy should serve everyone, not create huge economic gaps between people. Everyone who works is putting in their life into their job. Our time is our life. Everyone deserves to be paid for their time. Time cannot be re-created. If every resident cannot afford basic necessities such as food, clothing, housing, healthcare in return for the time they put into their jobs, that is an unfair economic system. We built this economic system. Now we must replace it with a better one that will bring our wellbeing, not put billionaires' wellbeing before others'.

Nobody is asking them to pay more than their fair share, to pay the backbone of their companies (the working men/women) a living wage. Really how many houses do they need when the people who work 40hrs a week for them can’t afford to buy a house or rent an apartment? How many cars, vacations do you need when your workers can’t feed their families and take their kids to the doctor? Greed is not something to be proud of, you can’t take it either you!

Just how greedy are these filthy rich billionaires allowed to be? If they aren’t going to pay taxes in this country. Then they better find another one to accommodate them.
