Increased profits actually DO CREATE JOBS!

WHEN THERE IS 75% TAX ON BUSINESSES!

Because if they invest in factories, jobs training, new materials, etc they get to write off said income and pay lower marginal tax rates.

Aka what happened in america between 1940-1985

NEVER LET THESE FUCKERS TELL YOU ITS SOCIALIST PROPEGANDA; ITS THE ECONOMICS THAT BUILT MODERN AMERICA!

TIL after a millionaire gave everyone in a Florida neighborhood free college scholarships and free daycare, crime rate was cut in half and high school graduation rate increased from 25% to 100%.

That’s ONE millionaire. Imagine what all millionaires and billionaires could do for this country if they actually put their obscene wealth to practical use.

this is why you fucking tax the rich folks

Media portray these tales of perseverance as uplifting and inspirational. They’re actually horror stories.

These four examples all come from just the past five months, but there are countless additional articles and segments that share the same lessons about never giving up, going the extra mile, and taking care of others. The articles are framed to make you feel good, to illustrate the kindness of others, to show you that things can work out when tragedy hits, and yes, to “restore your faith in humanity.” These are excellent messages that we could probably all benefit from having in our lives, but there’s one thing that gets left out on an all-too-regular basis: the underlying causes.
