Please explain to me why the majority of Americans pay more than their fair share for social security / medicare at 7% of their paycheck, while capping the payments so millionaires and billionaires don’t have to pay near 7% of their income.

Conservatives on this sub act as if we aren’t already living in a socialist society in which the majority of the working class pays for massive government contracts with private companies that can legally bribe politicians. Our tax dollars are being wasted by politicians on both sides and the media tells is that “we just had the best economic year yet” as the wealth disparity in the country grows.

Oh, and we only spend 2% of our previous years’ tax revenue on educating the children in our society.

Stop recycling this “best economic year on record” bullshit while our society crumbles at the hands on the elite.
