“💯 [@ArthurMacwaters] In 1913, only 1% of households filed income tax Now, 100% do. Every time a tax scheme is created, it starts with "just the rich" and quickly applies to everyone. Every time. California will seize assets of every citizen if this passes. Not income, assets. Your house. Your”

“Indeed it will [@Rothmus] This is the federal income tax play all over again. It started in 1913 as a “class tax” on the rich, hitting less than 1% of the population with a 1% rate above $3,000. It expanded during WWII into a mass tax on most workers through withholding, skyrocketing rates, base”

“Exactly [@FaraiMazhindu] The demand for Elon Musk to surrender 30% of his business to operate in South Africa is absurd. Bringing infrastructure, creating high-skill jobs, and expanding the national tax base should be more than enough contribution from any global entity. The South African government”

“True [@TheLaurenChen] It's crazy to me how Robin Hood is now popularized as "stealing from the rich to give to the poor" (Socialist messaging) In reality, Robin Hood stole back the taxes that a cruel leader unjustly levied against the population (Anti-socialist messaging)”

“Try out self-driving in a Tesla. It will greatly improve your quality of life and may save your life. [@Scobleizer] I was on @wholemars space this afternoon while my Model 3 drove me for a couple of hours to drop off my taxes.

“They will eventually apply the “wealth tax” to everyone, just like the income tax, which was supposed to be just a temporary tax of a few percent of the top 1% to pay for WW1 … [@ArthurMacwaters] California's wealth tax will follow the same pattern as every other tax: 1. target "just the rich" 2. set a precedent 3. expand to everyone else Except this tax is even more corrupt because it allows the state to seize *assets* not just income In 1913, only the 1% paid… https://x.com/i/web/status/2012199551482892733”

“Good question [@C_3C_3] So… If NGOs are “non-governmental organizations” why do our tax dollars go to them? And… If an organization is a “nonprofit” then why do the people running it always seem to get rich? Anyone in government got answers? (We know)”

“Correct [@Anarseldain] Every blue state has maintained a democrat hegemony for decades by importing millions of foreigners, and then allowing those foreigners to siphon off billions of tax dollars.
