https://x.com/GavinNewsom/status/1931177807767535857 Governor Newsom mentioned that since Californians pay the most taxes to the federal government by dollar amount (80 billion) maybe they ought to consider withholding that money. I agree! People who pay a higher dollar amount in taxes should have the right to withhold that money! Maybe we should have some sort of taxation cap! Let's start with the rich people in California.

Data on income tax payments and estimates from the Treasury Department show that the US federal tax system is highly progressive. The top 10 percent of income earners pay more than 60 percent of all federal taxes and 72 percent of income taxes, shares that have been increasing over time.

The top 10% in the United States are paying about 1.5 trillion in taxes each year, with an effective tax rate of about 21.5%! bottom 50% on the other hand, despite earning about 1.5 trillion put together, paid a measly 51 billion or an effective rate of only 3.3%!

Time to stop freeloading off the donor class. If it applies to states it should apply to individuals and corporations too! Maybe Newsom can get started on repealing the 16th Amendment.

Brother I agree, the deadweight of labor on our country's economy is not something that can be swept away with an accounting trick. Simply put, we need at least 20 million working class families to do the honorable thing and kill themselves after the newly commissioned DOGE borg takes their jobs. They understand it's not personal, it's for the greater cause of Making America Great Again by not making the President look bad on unemployment numbers.

Since way back, we in the higher class have had higher tax rates than those lazy people at the bottom. Lower classes have built up a debt that they owe to us. It's time to start paying us back. Congress and the President are on the right track but loan payments need to be accelerated. I suppose the government could move things along by taking assets of the lower income people the distributing them to us. Honestly, though, I don't want a 20 year old rust bucket car with old diapers on the floor. Cash is what I am owed and that's what I want.

Not just DOGE - AI in general. CEO's can sleep soundly, it's the entry-level plankton that is becoming obsolete now:

Sister, at least plankton do something. I'm hard pressed to think of a single thing that the "working" class do that cannot be outsourced to China or just not done at all. They talk about "services" - pfft - more government waste, circular make-work that doesn't result in the extraction of profit. Absolutely pointless.

After the Great Off Switch button is finished being pressed we'll see what returns organically when the free market is liberated to optimize society unburdened by lazy, entitled labor.
