The New American Dream: Work More, Earn Less?

[@TheZenGarden_]

"It's called the "American Dream" because you have to be asleep to believe it." ~ G.C. ⌛

[@Mike-ph5rn]

It's that way with every generation since Reaganomics. My Dad alone could pay for a house, two cars and three sons. Ain't going to happen until the rich pay their share again.

[@LilOldLesInWAh8tsWōk]

@@Mike-ph5rn no, it won’t happen until they stop sending most our hard earned tax dollars to foreign countries. The rich pay 65% in taxes.

[@Arulane]

So vote blue. Please.

[@preachermike]

How is the rich paying more in taxes going to make you better off?

[@Arulane]

@@preachermike they will be paying their share. That means more money for everything the government does that helps the whole community. Tell me why they shouldn’t pay extra?

[@Zetirix]

@@preachermike People who are wholly dependent on the government think they'd get more benefit from it if there's more taxes collected. The founding fathers actually warned everyone about this, but no one really knows history well enough. First we need to stop supporting these companies that are working against us. We need a government willing to break up these larger companies. And we need to form new political parties that are of and for the people.

I’m glad someone is getting the facts about Project 2025. Most people are clueless.

And when they deport all those immigrants think of all those jobs opening up. But instead of raising wages, employers could reduce wages across the board, since they're doing away with minimum wage and overtime pay.

[@hearmeout1966]

That’s right. No more immigrants means lower wages for American workers who will then have to do those jobs or starve. And forget overtime pay or forming a union.

[@raydrexler5868]

They have no intention of deporting the cheap labor that they use more than anyone. It’s their housekeeping staff

[@Arulane]

And don’t forget, the Republican state legislatures have been undoing protections for minors working in harzardous industries. We wouldn’t want to stifle their ability to help the family, they say.

[@Zetirix]

Stop supporting companies that don't treat their employees better. Pretty simple idea. "But it's too hard!" Oh yeah, good point.

[@Im_No_One_2024]

Totaly unrealistic to boycott the very companies that sell stuff we have to buy just to survive. Better solution would be to tax those companys more in accordance with how much they make yearly AND put an end to their price gouging.

[@Im_No_One_2024]

OHHH and also make the minimum wage a LIVABLE wage as opposed to a BARELY SURVIVING wage.

[@Zetirix]

@@Im_No_One_2024 Thanks for proving my point. Companies are already off shoring jobs because of Biden's 2025 budget, which called for more taxes, above the rest of the G7.

[@Zetirix]

@@Im_No_One_2024 Thanks for proving my point. Biden's budget for 25 was calling for more taxes, above the rest of the G7, while jobs are being offshored right now.

[@Zetirix]

@@Im_No_One_2024 "Livable wage" is also subjective, because I could live pretty well in rural Alabama on 40k a year but need government assistance in New York City.

[@scotte8315]

Didnt trump say he is not affiliated to the project 2025?

[@franklaferriere5754]

You believe him? 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Cucumberstopickles]

His name is mentioned over 300 times in project 2025. They donated millions to his campaign. At least four of his staffers worked and are named in project 2025. The heritage foundation slipped up and said Trump loves the plan we have prepared for him. Trump has said himself that he “religious people write the his policies”. How much proof do you need? He bragged for years about overturning RvW. Do you really trust his backpedaling and saying he doesn’t know about it while also not committing to saying if he will support or deny a national ban during his debate?

[@richardincm]

Yes, and he was lying, as usual.

[@jesterforhire]

He ABSOLUTELY knows about it. That’s a proven fact. He’s a chronic liar.

[@oliversherman2414]

Why would you believe anything he says?

[@David-n3f2z]

The lack of intelligence is really breathtaking. You’re being told Trump would raise costs. He didn’t last time but this time he will, so you’re going to vote for someone who raised your cost of living 30%. That’s actually insane.

[@preachermike]

Nonsense!
