This is what we Germans´d call a redistribution from the lower class to the upper class, a complete social unfairness. Instead of saying #TaxTheRich, #TakeMoneyFromTheRich, they take away all of the support from the middle class and - even worse - from the poor, the sick, the disabled. BOO. 🤬🤬🤬

$16.2 is the total from FOUR years total. The over $6 billion in taxes from illegal immigrants is only for ONE year. Immigrants also spend the money they earned here in the US on goods and services, and will not be now, and missing from our economy. That whole important group is now gone.

Huge transfer of wealth.. yes. But the logic is all wrong. This is not how money - fiat currency - works. 🧵

Taxes are not revenue; they literally destroy money same as if you threw it all on a big bonfire. Govt is the currency issuer hence to the govt all money is debt - so many IOUs. What happens when you get your own IOU back? The debt simply ceases to exist. 🧵

Taxes are important to control inflation but they cannot provide a single $ of "revenue". But that's OK because the govt - the currency issuer - literally has access to an infinite amount of money. It does not need any revenue. 🧵

Of course it cannot *spend* an infinite amount of money. There are real-world constraints: resources, labour & the need to keep inflation under control. But it must spend enough money into the economy so that we can afford to buy all that we are able to create. It's most important job 🧵

When economy grows, production increases. With more things to buy we need more money to buy them (else the economy could not grow). Assuming inflation is under control, a deficit will simply be the accounting record of this growth. There is no adverse effect. The books do not need to balance. 🧵

Conversely, govt surpluses are actually sucking money out of the economy, creating an artificial constraint on economic activity. Deficits should be celebrated. Surpluses should be condemned. 🧵

Money behaves in fundamentally different ways for the currency issuer v currency users like you and me. I'd recommend Prof Stephanie Kelton's "The Deficit Myth" to learn more. stephaniekelton.com/book/

Let's not forget corporate welfare. The most subsidized industry in the world is fossil fuels. It also happens to be the most profitable after big pharma (also heavily subsidized). Ask yourself; why are you paying directly out of your pocket to subsidize the mega salary of Exxon's CEO?

Taking money/resources from those just getting by & struggling to get by, to explode the deficit for future generations to suffer so that those who already have far more money than they could EVER spend, get MORE. And a religious fundamentalist government steals your lives. Sounds sensible.

I strongly disagree. Debt enslaves people and governments. Unless you are Trump, and go for bankruptcy six times.😏

Every American who subscribes to lets say Netflix should call their billing department and verbally inform them that we will not be paying for any bill for their services because it doesn't exist. Jam their phone lines so it's reported nationally!

This is an excellent explanation of US budgeting. Republicans don't care because they feel that the Democrats are taking their money and giving it away to illegal aliens, the poor and other countries. The wealthy need to pay a larger percentage to the IRS as well as a consumption tax! Save our Six!

Sadly, it passed. And I expect it will pass the House, too, without too much revision. Toddler trump needs something to sign on the 4th of July before golf and fireworks or he'll cry on 'Merica's birthday.
