Live Stream - US Senate Vote One Big Beautiful Bill
Live Stream - US Senate Vote One Big Beautiful Bill
I’ve said for years: the system has been rigged to keep wages low for full time workers in order to benefit billionaires and corporations like Amazon, Walmart, and the banking industry. They pay unsustainable wages, and my tax dollars are used to subsidize their payrolls through food stamps, Medicaid, housing, and other federal aid. Not a bad gig- for the wealthy.
But here’s the kicker: this isn’t even about stopping that. It’s not about making the wealthy finally carry their share so I don’t have to. It’s not about relieving my tax burden. Hell, it isn’t even about salvaging wasted tax dollars for better use or returned to the federal revenue. And it’s not even about if we can afford it or not.
Instead, it’s more like someone looked at the little bit we do spend helping people survive by being underpaid for their full time service and said:
“Hey, the rich should get that too.”
The aftermath? Full-time workers fall deeper into hardship. Local businesses suffer. Communities collapse. The deficit grows. And my tax burden stays the same or gets worse.
