  • There needs to be aovement in the US where literally NO ONE running for re-election gets voted back in.

    Replace EVERYONE in there at the moment. Even if you think your current person is the one good one, obviously they aren’t effective enough.

    Doesn’t matter the party, do not make it us vs them. Make it the people vs the government.

    Just make a movement to completely replace everyone and make it clear to them that if they do not listen, their jobs are not safe.

    Yeah but even that is sort of a tax on employees

    When our business decides how much we can afford to pay someone for a position, the math is always with what that payroll tax is included.

    So without the payroll tax we may be able to afford paying someone $25/hour.

    With it we may only be able to afford to pay them $22/hour.

    It reduces the amount we can afford to pay the employee, even though it’s technically never given to them in the first place it’s money that could have gone to them.

    I would love to pay more but that tax takes it out of my hands.










  • Except tax payers now get to send their hard earned money directly to the leeches that work at insurance companies.

    No matter if the system works out for individuals with insurance Americans get screwed with the way it is at the moment.

    You all need to fight for universal health care so that shit isn’t marked up 5000% so that insurances companies make billions for doing nothing but complicate everything

    Wait, if the researchers don’t know who got the pal ebo but placebos can cause actual effects how do they know which effects are from the medication and which are from the placebo? If someone got a placebo and experienced headaches but no one on the medication did do they still have to warn that the medication may cause headaches?
