What I’m saying is this: A nation of people not paying taxes, dependent on a tiny group at the top to keep the bills paid, will collapse. I’m certainly not arguing against a progressive tax scheme; rather, I’m saying the numbers who pay nothing or who actually gain tax dollars through Earned Income Credit, must not continue to increase. No reasonable person can honestly argue otherwise.

It's all window dressing and b.s. anyway. The left love their aristocracy ways and billionaire lifestyles while clamoring in vain to "tax the rich " and "pay their fair share". Fact is the filthy rich in America still never pay taxes like other countries. Still waiting for Biden's making over 425,000 to pay more taxes... and Bezos paid zero taxes again last year. Of course in America you can write off enough to never pay taxes. The rich know that and the working class and middle class get stuck paying far more.
Finally, yes, we have to be happy that people are returning to work. It’s a good and needed thing.
Key word is 'returning'. The job growth is not new jobs created by The Chairman and The Party. The jobs were there before, during and after the pandemic. Workers are returning to the jobs that were there before the pandemic.
The Party and The Chairman don't believe that us ordinary folk can figure that out.
The thing is, Bocephus (don’t even know if you know who that is) was right. As you get older, “the hangovers hurt more than they used to.”
I used to be able to power through 10 or 12 hours at work with a hangover with nothing more than aspirin, coffee, and breakfast foods as a remedy. Now, work isn’t a concern, but 48 hours of stomach issues and a pounding head has me hesitant.
Also, preemptively addressing Wiz, yes, maybe I am becoming a puss.
What’s crazy about the national debt is that it was $10.9T when Obama took office. So for the first 230 years or so, the U.S. ran up a tab of $10.9T and in the last 14 years we’ve ran up an additional $23T.
In short: the percentage of folks whose bracket has them paying zero taxes (or they actually get money from the few tax payers in the form of EITC and the Child Tax Credit (CTC)) has gone up exponentially since the 1950’s. A strong economy becomes a weak economy with a dwindling base of effective payers - especially as entitlements and social services go up.
