My bad, me an 22 others who upvoted my comment were mistaken, as were the 45 who downvoted the meme. Clearly the messaging is fine and not at all tone deaf. Carry on.
I wouldn't say it is fair, no, but I am defending property taxes an the two aren't really comparable at all.
Let it be known I have been informing people since 2023 that Kamala Harris' campaign included an Unrealized Gains Tax over $1M which alone could have changed american society for the better.
The county offices aren't billionaires. They tax the billionaires. They are literally the kind of institutions that billionaires fight to control or dismantle.
Also, roads funding do not come from a singular source in the USA. Some roads are county roads paid for by local offices, other roads are maintained with state funding.
Hopefully Syria isn't stupid enough to replace the Ba'ath with Al-Queda. It will be a real "how many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man" kind of moment, except instead of being funny it will just be horrible.
Realized capital gains are usually taxed at a higher rate depending on the amount of time it was held, but I agree high earners should be taxed a lot more.
To play devil's advocate, homeowners use a lot of publicly owned civil infrastructure such as water, power, data, and roads. Property taxes are very local.
I assume that's good? Syria's been in bad shape since... let me see... 1963.
EDIT:
Most seats in parliament are voted by electoral colleges in each of Syria's districts, with al-Sharaa directly appointing the remaining one-third of legislators.
Pretty shit, actually, but not as bad as it seemed last year.
Yeah there was speculation that she was a Russian plant as early as 2014 from my own recollection. She was third party in an event where a Russian operative tried to seduce a US representative in Hawaii, and she is famous for going and meeting with Syrian dictator and similar meetings with Eastern Bloc representatives and associates.
Your right, sorry, that event completely justifies killing hundreds of millions of people in nuclear fire. We should just let Cuba kill everyone. /sarcasm
Since the USA has wrongly prevented mass death outside of Cuba we must now allow Cuba to bring the fight internally and watch as they all die in a bloody pointless war. /sarcasm again
Tankies and there whataboutism, never a more dynamic duo.
Unironically yeah, tho.
