I’m sure some more stimulus checks and free rent for the next year will really motivate the masses LOL. The whole economy has taken a nosedive and EVEN CNN says it Brandon’s fault. But hey let’s give away trillions in socialism and go into debt. The shit for brains ideas this guy has is gonna lose the next few elections big for you guys. I mean I can admit Trump was an asshole but this guys incompetent

So your happy if the richer states pull welfare from the Red states? You should talk to your Congressmen and get that happening ASAP.

They want to pay for it by targeting the extremely wealthy who will just pass on the cost like they did when they raised the minimum wage. And why do parents get tax credits for having more kids? Why not reward the people who don’t have children that they can’t afford? So stupid

This is what I was talking about. They really keep track of people during protests/riots

I'm just wondering how the Red states would survive if the Blue states remove the welfare they give them.
O. Thats easy Q to answer. Because the children are the next generation and the future of the country. You want them well fed, well educated, preferable well travelled as well. Some would say that's the American dream right there.

Thirteen out of the top 15 states found to be most dependent on the federal government voted for President Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election.
Veuger noted that “all the poor states are red
poor states receive more federal funding through Medicaid, which is a huge part of states’ budgets.”

Republicans rely on welfare.

These are the U.S. states most and least dependent on the federal government
States that voted Democrat in 2016 generally rely less on federal funding than Republican states, according to a study by WalletHub.

If the minimum wage had kept up with inflation since 81, when Ray Guns started fucking things up, the wage would be $25 dollars an hour.
CEO compensation has grown 940% since 1978. Typical worker compensation has risen only 12% during that time.
The increased focus on growing inequality has led to an increased focus on CEO pay. Corporate boards running America’s largest public firms are giving top executives outsize compensation packages. Average pay of CEOs at the top 350 firms in 2018 was $17.2 million—or $14.0 million using a more conservative measure. (Stock options make up a big part of CEO pay packages, and the conservative measure values the options when granted, versus when cashed in, or “realized.”) CEO compensation is very high relative to typical worker compensation (by a ratio of 278-to-1 or 221-to-1). In contrast, the CEO-to-typical-worker compensation ratio (options realized) was 20-to-1 in 1965 and 58-to-1 in 1989. CEOs are even making a lot more—about five times as much—as other earners in the top 0.1%. From 1978 to 2018, CEO compensation grew by 1,007.5% (940.3% under the options-realized measure), far outstripping S&P stock market growth (706.7%) and the wage growth of very high earners (339.2%). In contrast, wages for the typical worker grew by just 11.9%.
Why it matters: Exorbitant CEO pay is a major contributor to rising inequality that we could safely do away with. CEOs are getting more because of their power to set pay, not because they are increasing productivity or possess specific, high-demand skills. This escalation of CEO compensation, and of executive compensation more generally, has fueled the growth of top 1.0% and top 0.1% incomes, leaving less of the fruits of economic growth for ordinary workers and widening the gap between very high earners and the bottom 90%. The economy would suffer no harm if CEOs were paid less (or taxed more).
How we can solve the problem: We need to enact policy solutions that would both reduce incentives for CEOs to extract economic concessions and limit their ability to do so. Such policies could include reinstating higher marginal income tax rates at the very top; setting corporate tax rates higher for firms that have higher ratios of CEO-to-worker compensation; establishing a luxury tax on compensation such that for every dollar in compensation over a set cap, a firm must pay a dollar in taxes; reforming corporate governance to give other stakeholders better tools to exercise countervailing power against CEOs’ pay demands; and allowing greater use of “say on pay,” which allows a firm’s shareholders to vote on top executives’ compensation.
Introduction and key findings
Chief executive officers (CEOs) of the largest firms in the U.S. earn far more today than they did in the mid-1990s and many times what they earned in the 1960s or late 1970s. They also earn far more than the typical worker, and their pay has grown much more rapidly. Importantly, rising CEO pay does not reflect rising value of skills, but rather CEOs’ use of their power to set their own pay. And this growing power at the top has been driving the growth of inequality in our country.
It gives workers free health care, 3 weeks paid vacation, a 50% match and $9,000 for Its basic burger costs $1.80. Remember this when someone says paying a living wage would make burgers cost $20!
