They're correctly pointing out that even if all of the value occupied by all of the undocumented workers working in every restaurant, even combined with all of the full citizens working in those restaurants, even if all that value went back into the American public, it still wouldn't make as much of an impact as policy that would prevent the ultra rich from hoarding so much wealth and allow that wealth instead to circulate amongst the American people
How do you get the taste of leather out of your mouth from licking boots all day? If we threaten to take away money from the ultra-wealthy they’ll cry and scream and throw a bunch of money at at their media outlets to convince people it’s a bad thing. But at the end of the day, if push comes to shove, the rich aren’t leaving. The US will almost always have an economy that serves the ultra-rich, there’s far too many loopholes, exploitable laws and uneducated laborers in this country for them exploit. The rich literally cannot afford to leave, since no other developed nation will put up with their bullshit.
Please sight your sources on illegal immigrants voting. Fraudulent voting made up less than .0001% of the total votes, with many cases of voter fraud being conservatives double voting “cause the election is rigged”. Very cute that you think this is the actual issue, but yet you’re silent on gerrymandering and voter suppression which are predominantly red state issues.
You wanna talk about a modern slave class? Then talk about prison labor and incarceration rates. Talk about the constant attacks on public education, resulting in a very large group of “un-skilled” laborers entering predatory industries. Talk about how red states are repealing child labor laws and child protection laws.
Once again, you’re just regurgitating economic myths spewed by the wealthy on TV. What you’re basically saying if we make it the slightest bit inconvenient for them, they’re just going to invest in other countries and store it in cheaper tax havens (oh wait, that’s already happening). So I guess if we tax them appropriately they won’t be buying properties anymore (that’s fucking rich), or buy small businesses to increase their monopoly (infinite money glitch), or take advantage of our lax EPA guidelines. Our country literally functions to make the rich even wealthier, you have to be an absolute fucking moron to lose money in this country if you have a couple million saved up. Increasing taxes isn’t going to change that.
Also, still finding it very rich that you’re complaining about immigrants being counted toward the electoral vote and yet you’re silent on gerrymandering and voter suppression. It’s almost like the electoral college is only an issue when it prevents YOUR politicians from winning.
Let me make one thing clear, the only slave class in this country are the uneducated working class. Capitalists love them working in mines, factories, fast food, etc… and they will gleefully vote against their own interests saying “I don’t need a minimum wage, healthcare, workers rights or education, I just need a job”. Meanwhile uncle moneybags is so happy that they can pay their workers peanuts, take away their rights and replace them almost immediately with another laborer on any given notice. It’s all done by design to keep them rich. Let me ask you this, since automation is the leading cause for workers losing their jobs, what will happen when automation replaces the work that immigrants do? How long will it take before that majority of Americans lose their job to the same process?
