2017. One of Trump's first actions was to give the Mega rich tax breaks. Biden and the Dems were up in arms about it. Biden is now nearing the end of his 4 year term in the White House and hasn't reversed those tax breaks for the mega rich.

Why not? Because it's those exact people who fund him and keep him in their back pocket. It doesn't matter who the government is, you'll get, for the most part, the government the rich want, not the one people think they voted for.

Hence the lack of action from labour on non-Dom tax relief.


Here in NL, Wilders has spent 2 decades doing a Farridge and pointing out the glaringly obvious without actually coming up with a single solution. He didn't really have to as he was always in opposition. Now, as the largest party, he's finding it increasingly difficult. He was against helping fund Ukraine from the off. He's now saying aid to Ukraine will continue for as long as is necessary. His party's ministers in the coalition cabinet are a joke. Coming out with comments that obviously will never happen. One of them, the Minister for Asylum and Migration, said yesterday morning, on camera, that the substantive document explaining how her intended emergency Law would look, was finished, completed and was being discussed by the leaders of the 4 coalition parties as she spoke. 55 minutes later, she said. again on camera, that it wasn't actually finished but that it almost was. Not the first time she's been stupid. Two weeks ago, she said she'd been to Denmark on a fact finding mission and had seen a sign, on the door of an asylum centre, "we also work here on your repatriation" and that she thought that it would be a good idea to have similar signage here at Dutch Asylum Centres. Journalists did their jobs and found out that there are zero asylum centres in Denmark with the repatriation sign she said she'd seen. I really don't think she'll last much longer as Minister for Asylum and Migration.
