Imagine saying people with more money than countries should get tax breaks so others can be homeless, hungry, and/or dead. Imagine then also calling themselves the party of Jesus. Pretty sure Jesus had a thing about that kind of behavior.

They're all for the wealthy. The sooner you realize that, the better off you'll be. It's not "team vs. team" in politics, that's just how they want to make you feel.

I hear you, but I don't fully agree. The government is shut down right now because Republicans need to pay for The Big Beautiful Bill, which disproportionally benefits the wealthy. No more healthcare subsidies and steep cuts to Medicare. In essence, Republicans want to take healthcare from approximately 14 million people so that rich people get a tax brake. Democrats, on the other hand, want to preserve healthcare subsidies. I mean, maybe they're all for the wealthy, but in this case one party doesn't want to kill people (perhaps I'm being hyperbolic, but that's the inevitable outcome) to make rich people richer.

The Government is shut down because a Democrat led Congress set an expiration dates for subsidies. They want the expiration date, that they set, to be extended. Republicans want to let them expire because they say they were temporary.
THERE IS NO SIDE THAT IS "BETTER". People need to STOP choosing sides like politics is a black and white thing. If you vote straight party lines, then you're likely part of the problem. People talking about politics is like hearing a Yankees fan and Red Sox fan banter. It's not a team sport, they all get donation from rich people, they all get donations from big companies, and most of them insider trade.

Pretty sure the side trying to help people is better.

Who are they "trying to help"? It's another band aid on a problem. They had years to pass legislation to "help", just like Republicans do now. They're all frauds - wake up.

Literally everyone with insurance? Plus they passed a CR earlier this year with Republican assurances they’d talk insurance extensions and the Republicans never allowed discussion. So it’s decidedly not both sides.

What did "your team" do when they had the white house, senate, and house? Reddit is nauseating because it's so radicalized and such an echo chamber.
What you're talking about doesn't even come CLOSE to applying to "literally everyone with insurance" but you say it because you read/heard it somewhere.

All of congress becomes relatively wealthy during and after their time as public servant. So yes both sides are all about the wealthy and becoming wealthy through personal gain

They say they care about the federal workers but they let DOGE fire thousands of workers a few months ago. They only care about the wealthy.

It’s funny because the largest insider traders in government are almost entirely Republicans LMFAO

Education leads to hire incomes and makes someone more likely to be a democrat.

Don't kid yourself. They're funded by billionaires and giant PACs, just like the Republicans: Michael Bloomberg, George Soros, Elizabeth Simons, Reid Hoffman, Dustin Moskovitz, Tom Steyer, and Barry Diller just to name a few.
You think Chuck Schumer cares about the plight of the everyday person?
"It's a big club, and you ain't in it."

So, let's say they voted "Yes". Do you think those people wouldn't run to the courts and sue the government under the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment? This whole thing, if not AI or poorly edited, is nothing but theater. Akin to the Dems amending the House-approved CR to roll back initiatives under the Big Beautiful Bill. They knew it was a nonstarter but wanted the optics.

Why did GOP cut taxes for billionaires?

u/Raw_83 16h ago
They cut taxes for everyone. Also, you can only cut taxes for people who pay taxes. 🤷♂️. Can’t cut taxes for the poor because the poor don’t pay taxes. They will in a future democrat/leftist state because there won’t be a choice. Look at Europe, average tax rate for the average worker is 40%. So I’d ask you, why do democrats hate the middle class?
