US Elections (& Politics) :)

US collects $2.4T in income tax, but spends $1.5T on fraud

this is shocking:
  • US collects $2.4T in income tax, but spends $1.5T on fraud

  • if we didn't have to pay for fraud, only $900b would need to be collected

  • this means anyone with less 500k in income could pay literally $0 in income tax
  • If you cut $1.5 trillion in fraud you could exempt all income tax up to $200,000 https://x.com/profstonge/
we don't need to raise taxes. we need to cut fraud

NYC Communism is here in power ..

 
I refer to the MSM. i.e. ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, FOX
Most of the conservative outlets have become just as bad with cherry-picked info, bogus conclusions, "..according to sources..", and all the other propaganda techniques. They often just repost social media crap, including the spelling and grammatical errors.

Are any of you who know history watching the American Revolution series on PBS? I've read criticisms of some wokeness that spread into it, but overall, is it historically accurate? I was one of the idiot teenagers who ignored everything I could and barely slid through the history classes. Now I'm realizing how stupid that was, and that these things are just horribly interesting. I just hope I'm not consuming a big pile of "stuff".

I liked the John Adams mini-series ..

John Adams is a 2008 American television miniseries chronicling the political and family life of U.S. Founding Father and president John Adams, detailing his many roles in the founding of the United States. The miniseries is directed by Tom Hooper and stars Paul Giamatti in the title role. Kirk Ellis wrote the screenplay based on the 2001 biography John Adams by David McCullough.

will have to check out the PBS American Revolution ..
( yes, looks like some do have issues with it .. so always go to keep an eye out for some of the details )
