politics @lemmy.world•Ted Cruz asks Treasury to approve $200 billion tax cut without Congress
18·5 days agoThe plan pushed by Cruz and Scott has been sought by conservatives for many years. Under current law, an investor who bought $100 worth of stock in 1990 and sold it today for $300 would currently owe capital gains taxes on the full $200 in profit. But the $100 investment in 1990 would be worth roughly $230 in today’s dollars after accounting for inflation. Under the Cruz-Scott proposal, the investor would only owe taxes on that $70, rather than the full $200. That is why the proposal is known as “indexing capital gains for inflation.”
Ah, so the ultra-wealthy who have been holding during the longest bull market in history can get a massive discount for dumping on us peons?

3·5 days agoDo you think the entire middle east is just warlords fighting over dunes of sand?
In my state, republicans slapped on much higher EV registration fees but when democrats came into power, they just left them there. This pattern seems to mirror the national strategy.

20·5 days agoMaybe if those individuals are rich. Everyone else has been getting screwed without the government caring for a long while. It’s why so many had foreclosed on their home in 2008 while big banks were bailed out and their execs rewarded themselves with big bonuses.

81·11 days agoso I became a liberal so I can help defeat the republicans.
You mean like the democrats who are in full control of their primary process and who pushed liberal sweethearts hillary, then biden, and then harris down our throats? Those are the liberals helping to defeat republicans?

11·15 days agoThe amount of aid technically increased but was not nearly enough and would’ve been much more easily and quickly satisfied by simply telling israel to let aid through on-ground instead of this ridiculous workaround.
This is the strategy that democrats always use to justify carrying out heinous acts, just like how biden was instrumental in creating the student loan crisis and then decades later forgiving a tiny fraction of that debt so that supporters can point to that and proudly proclaim “see, he’s doing something!”

31·15 days agoBiden didn’t push for a ceasefire at all. He continuously shipped weapons to israel and even bypassed congress to ship weapons to them. He temporarily paused a single shipment of 2,000 pound bombs, said he was “frustrated” with netanyahu while still doing everything he wanted, and he had a floating pier built that let limited amounts of aid through instead of telling israel to let aid through on-ground. This was apparently enough to fool people like you into thinking biden was serious about helping the Palestinians. If he was serious about stopping the genocide, he could’ve simply stopped all shipments of weapons to israel (you know, the ones carrying out the genocide). This is so basic and obvious that I’m surprised you try to argue otherwise.

41·16 days agoWhy don’t you stop and think for a second why the democrats would decide it’s better to risk votes than to stop genocide? Clearly you had to leave practically all online leftist spaces because you’re not actually a leftist. So stop cosplaying by saying “we” are all stupid. We’re not stupid enough to think a party that refuses votes just so they can continue supporting genocide is willing to help at all.

31·16 days agoThe morons running the democratic party thought it was more important to support a genocide than to gain votes. Somehow you think those same morons would protect us from fascism or make anything better.
True, but maybe a good compromise would be having the fuzzy date in parentheses/brackets if there’s enough space.
I absolutely hate fuzzy dates, not only because of the problem you mentioned, but also because they can get wildly inaccurate. For example, on youtube I often see something counted as posted a year ago, but if I look at the absolute timestamp, it was actually 1 year and 10 months. That’s too big of a difference to truncate.




What we really need is money out of politics and for AIPAC to register as the foreign lobby that it is.
