Stupid question: If undocumented, how are they verifiably paying anything close to this figure in taxes? Pls respond
Not all taxes are collected, much of what we pay in taxes is added on to the cost of things.
For example, sales tax.
Yes, but corporations pay into the system in other ways. Take for example the time Duke Energy had a big coal ash spill into a river. They took the income resources they had and not only paid a fair fine price, cleaned up the…
Wait. No they didn’t. They passed on all the costs to their customers. Fortunately those customers were able to use the free market and choose another provider…
Wait. No, they can’t. Huh. That IS a freeloader.
I hate you. Wait no I don’t 😂

Racism is either a symptom or a tool:
Those who cant make sense of their situation being unsatisfactory may fall prey to it to soothe themselves.
Those who hoard all of the worlds wealth use it to distract from that fact.
Worth noting that a lot of the people raging about immigrants don’t see themselves as racist.
Or a white person as an immigrant.
Or themselves as immigrants, for that matter.

If you apply liberal’s superficial understanding of what white supremacism actually is hard enough it’s very easy to end up in a situation where nobody could possibly be a white supremacist.
Posts like this are important, but unfortunately in vain, I’m afraid. Those who still don’t understand it will never understand it. I think they don’t want to. I don’t get it.
I’d say it’s still important to post and talk about, not for the people who know and don’t care, but for the people who don’t know and do care.
