The problem is that the billionaires get to decide how the money is spent, instead of ‘we the people’. You are basically giving them control over how that tax money is used.

More like billionaires donating ‘charities’ that push a certain agenda, e.g. the NRA, instead paying taxes that can be spent on things likje public schools or libraries.

Or they just create their own ‘charity’ that supports whatever political goals they have.

So… wtf is the problem? They’re donating. Why aren’t you happy?

It’s another way billionaires are taking away power from the common people. They are donating money and reducing their taxes by doing so. What it effectively means is that instead of the democratically elected government deciding on what causes that money is spent on, the billionaires get to decide instead.

Blijkbaar is het een woord dat vooral gebruikt wordt in het oosten en noorden vh land.

1 is een pollepel, 2 een sleef.

Ok, so you just confirmed you’re a russian shill.

How much are they paying you for this? Do you get paid in worthless rubles or some other currency?

The Ukrainian constitution forbids holding elections during times of war.

Is Lemmy full of Russians shills now?
