Paying taxes? We really should make this a regular thing.
Maybe, just maybe, if they had been making companies and people pay their due taxes, and not giving massive cut taxes to the richest amongst us we might have been better placed to protect the most vulnerable at this time. This is the same thing in the UK. None of the big boys pay their dues. Some of them have an effective tax rate of 1%. The fact that a few of them are giving donations now, does not deserve our thanks. Of course they fucking should. At the same time Munchin is saying that American households can survive on $1200 trump signed cheques for 3 months.
I think by the end of this society will have changed for the better, people will demand more from society, unless of course Trump gets his civil war... after that is anyone's guess.
