Now im no economist, but im pretty certain That is not what a deficit is

If everyone’s paid more taxes than they took out, the government would have a surplus of tax revenue every year.

Instead, the government has ever increasing debt.
 
Oh, I get those too sometimes. :D

Now I'm intrigued. Was it another statue bomb?

Oh boy.

So in an absolute sense, yes, if a government takes more in taxes than they spend, they create can create a surplus.

Now, the vast, vast, vast majority of working age adults pay more than they take in. The ones who do not? The elderly and the young. Kind of the people the government is supposed to protect with our taxes.

Also, learn the difference between deficit and debt before you start making your asinine comments about how only the makers deserve to vote, while people like you (i am assuming) do not.
 
I think the right's definition of "elite", where negatively connotated, is largely identical to Intelligentsia.
I think this is accurate. Explains their love of Reagan, W Bush, and now Trump.
 
Wrong.

Not everyone is a net taxpayer. If that was the case, there wouldn’t be a deficit.
Well yeah kids would be an obvious demo that have more taxes spent on them than they pay.

But let's say somehow everyone did pay into state coffers than they took, couldn't the state still run a deficit to do things like fund the military?

Hmm, not sure I agree. Major figures of the tech and entertainment industry as well as those in government are often included. For some reason other heads of industry aren't lumped into the elite though. But primarily I do think they are thinking of the intelligentsia.

Hush now. If people would just pay more taxes, there would be no debt. or deficit. something.
 
Nice set up, I especially like wha looks like the lit bottles.

And it was the blocking the roads makes you a riot thread
It's a nuka cola wallpaper on the tablet I mounted above the monitor, I dig the way it looks too. I'm putting a bookshelf up tomorrow and going to get some more LED lights. Trying to keep the aesthetic of my place what I call "Neon Hemingway"

When I'm just vibing generally all three screens are set to a lofi hip-hop station.

I'm addicted to this stuff. Straight up changes my mood entirely.


Also this is super long but these dudes troll Trump rallies and this woman especially, the conservative radio host who got fired for chastising workers for speaking Spanish. Didn't know dude trains BJJ, roided out dude had no idea how to get out of mount lol.
 
Yes, I made that post, but I was wrong and too absolute. Not all women are net negative tax contributors.

Interestingly, women as a whole demographic, take more money out than they put in. Men put more money in that they get out.

I mean for godsakes man. It is a website literally named after one of the biggest incel terms to demonize women.
