I could see how this was far more necessary than UBI or vote-by-mail, y'know, if I was a lich or something.

100,000 is above average. I wouldn't call it super wealthy. Also what does this have to do with the article?
DUDE WE GET IT SHUT UP
Literally nobody will say that in a thread and you and mammoth jones and that other guy will pop in with this post PLEASE i am BEGGING you to come up with something else
Geez man. Sorry.
Trying to figure out where your comments are coming from exactly apart from some posts awhile back. I don't think I've discussed it in awhile. If you'd like to DM me, I'm happy to chat if I offended you at all.

if this fills you all with surprise, I'm not sure what yall were expecting. obviously the trump admin is fucking shit and will do nothing but try to line their own and their friends' pockets. this bit of news changes nothing. what will change things is if you all show up at the polls in november to vote this fucker out
That didn't take long. Waiting for the rest of the support group to show up.
I think my point, in my quick (and albeit somewhat snarky) post. Is that the class that benefits continues to be one that is far and above the fights that we typically draw lines against in this forum.
It's just ANOTHER example of how they angle benefits to the uber wealthy and cut out everyone else. I just think it's telling. We often get caught up in this forum bashing people making 100k in the cities when the issues continue to reveal themselves to be the giant wealth disparities that are unreachable by most here. I think it's crucial to change to understand who is being played against who.
That said, I'm sorry if that comment derailed the conversation too much. Not my intention at all. I can delete it if you'd like.
I'm fully convinced the rich believe they need to pay to get into or out of whatever afterlife there is.
Of course they did, Senators did the math and realized they would be missing out on tax payers money. What is the point of handing out cash to the people who need it of they aren't wetting their beaks? Every time they use the CARES act for political points ask them what they're spending their stimulus on.
Speak for yourself.
*eats another fabergé egg*
I have a kid and head of household, i thought i'd be getting something but... noppers. But, thank god the millionaires are taken care of. They need it the most.
But really, this is all by design.
Get us all arguing with eachother, meanwhile the actual rich/wealthy *WHERE IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT ZIP CODE YOU'RE IN* walk off with the bags of our money.
Exactly. Such bullshit.
I'm better off than many I know (so far) but I still feel like I'm on the precipice here.
These million plus a year people don't need relief right now. Maybe a business does. Maybe the actual workers. But if you are a household and you make 1 million a year, you should not be getting any help right now before the average worker.
Shes the one that held up the bill to force more concessions to workers like longer unemployment. Shes the leader of 1/3 of this deal making process. This is how it works in the minority.
Nothing would change if dems had a majority. USA needs a revolution.
Was this inserted by Ron Johnson? He held up the original tax bill because he didn't benefit enough from the pass-through provisions
It needs revolution to change, but nowadays... With the scale, the sheer number of people... That's impossible to do. You can't get the message of extreme injustice like this out to enough people to even begin to consider the singularity you'd call a "revolution".
- 100k is about double the national average wage
That's it. Case closed. That's the only message.
And it has NOTHING to do with this thread, so good derail.
- almost 1 in 5 Americans live in actual poverty
- 100k is about double the national average wage
That's it. Case closed. That's the only message.
And it has NOTHING to do with this thread, so good derail.
Wish everyone lining up at gun stores were on the opposite side of the party lines.
Small businesses like *checks notes* the Dallas Cowboys (hey, they have < 200 employees)
In all seriousness, I'm not going to get worked up over a small temporary tax cut, but let's be real -- if the goal was to help small businesses it would have just been written with that limitation. I mean, they had no problem putting means testing on the paltry stimulus checks
Hear that everyone making an argument that revolutions work everytime?! GOT IT? Listen to Shawn here. Revolutions don't work 100% of the time, always.
One more time so its clear for the folks in the back with the balaclavas on..
Revolutions do not work, literally, 100% of the time.
Thanks Shawn, I really don't know where we would be without this information. Sincerely appreciate it.
but it doesn't say how to do it without inconveniencing americans.
You'll need to have people that actually want to go
out and vote first,
If you want that revolution
Lol. motherfuckers in here arguing over 100k and revolutions. The most bizarre thread derails ive seen in a minute. I blame illuminati agents on the boards.
Meanwhile the millionaires?

Did your feelings get hurt? 100k a year is far over the national average take home per year. It's not 'wealthy baron' status, but to the thousands of people on this forum who make sub-30k a year it is going to seem like a lot.
Changing the system from within is the opposite of a revolution.
You can make $100k and essentially be poor depending where you live.
Some of them need to be deeply inconvenienced.
How much 100 k really is depends on where you live too. 100k in coal country will seem like a fortune while a person making 100k in NYC is struggling to make ends meet month to month. It's all relative.
