Taxes should affect everyone, especially the rich and the elites

There should be no equality with tax costs, there should only be equity, so everyone gets taxed appropriately.

I do agree. Just because you have money does not mean you immune to something every citizen has to do.

 @BB7RB8C from Arizona  agreed…4mos4MO

I agree with how taxes should affect everyone including the rich and elite and how equity should be equal so that way everyone can get taxed appropriately.

 @BB7S3R6 from North Carolina  agreed…4mos4MO

Yes but it also depends on HOW rich the rich people are. Since I know that can range from $1 million, up to elon musk with $800B+

 @BB7SMQ2 from Indiana  agreed…4mos4MO

I agree with this because it is unfair that the rich and elites dont have to struggle and worry about taxes while everyone else has to worry and struggle with it.

 @BB7MBNMSocialist from Nevada  agreed…4mos4MO

Absolutely. The richest of our society obtain wealth through "siphoning" the value from your work, and only paying you a fraction (your wage). If we are to not remove this issue, then taxing the richest proportionally to return the money to the people through government programs like Healthcare, Transport, and Maintenance is critical.

 @BB7QQZ9 from Pennsylvania  agreed…4mos4MO

Yes. Taxes should be in accordance with one’s income, the rich should be taxed on a more aggressive level than they are.

 @BB7PZFN from Missouri  agreed…4mos4MO

yes, if everyone is paying for taxes, then the U.S would have more money to spend on and improve the country.

 @BB7HXZRProgressive from Georgia  agreed…4mos4MO

Yes, since wealthy individuals often have lower tax rates than people in lower classes, which makes it so that the poor get poor-er and the rich get richer.

 @BB7XV8F from Missouri  agreed…4mos4MO

Yes, I agree with this. There should be more limits so that richer people are taxed more because they'll feel it less

 @BB7SLXF from Washington  agreed…4mos4MO

I believe that the taxes you pay should depend on your income. For example, the rich should pay more than the poor.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”

Israeli Bombings Kill 2,300 In Lebanon in 3 weeks

Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.The Israeli military has ordered people living in more than a quarter of Lebanon to flee, according to a UN calculation, as its fight with the Iran-backed Shia militant group Hizbollah threatens to engulf the Mediterranean country.Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.More than 1mn people have fled their homes in Lebanon in under a month, according to its government, a dramatic forced movement of the population in a country of only about 5mn inhabitants with a land mass smaller than the US state of Connecticut. Israeli forces began a ground offensive in south Lebanon two weeks ago, in their fourth invasion of the country in under five decades. They had already destroyed large parts of the densely populated southern Beirut suburb where Hizbollah had its headquarters, and killed many top militant commanders in air strikes, including former leader Hassan Nasrallah.Rema Jamous Imseis, Middle East director of UNHCR, told journalists in Geneva that “over 25 per cent of [Lebanon is] under a direct Israeli military evacuation order”. “People are heeding these calls to evacuate and they’re fleeing with almost nothing,” she added, saying that 80 per cent of the shelters opened by the Lebanese government — mostly in schools — were now full.
