That's just the amount they EVADE!!!
If we fix that AND adjust the top tax bracket to 90% (as it was during some of America's most productive years) then just imagine the nice things we could ALL have. And I'm not talking only the essentials (food clothing, shelter, and healthcare).

Expand SCOTUS and stack it with real progressives. That will make everything else 10 times easier.

At some point, I'm hoping the GOP will catch on that impeaching AND convicting Trump will be their best shot at maintaining any relevancy in the future, and especially in the midterms.
On second thought, they totally suck, and maybe I should hope that they DON'T figure that out?
I'm torn here 🤔

My joking aside, you're absolutely correct. The question in front of us is now "how do we take it back?"

Many House and Senate GOP are stuck between fear of Trump's wrath in a primary and fear of losing their general election.
But Trump appears to be losing his grip on MAGA, disrupting that balance.
Epstein plus the economy could be the tipping point that ignites his impeachment AND conviction.

How many Republicans will vote to release the Epstein files that did not sign the discharge petition? They will need to be called out for the hypocritical cowards they are.

What Trump and other Republicans don't understand (or don't want to acknowledge) is that the vast majority of Democrats want justice, and they want the guilty to pay for their crimes regardless of their party affiliation. Republicans, not so much.

Sure, but you voted for Trump's cryptocurrency bill.
Why was that? Lobbyist made you an offer you couldn't refuse?
Thanks for making it harder to argue that the GOP is the party of corrupt politicians.
