I tried for like 30 seconds to poke holes in this and nothing.
I got one for ya: How does no tax on tips help Russia? lol
Also maybe his stance and outlook on oil and his “drill baby drill” shit. I don’t see how the United States producing more oil helps Russia.
You don’t see how keeping the US dependent on oil helps a place where 2/3 of exports are oil?
No tax on tips was just a cheap campaign promise that can distract people from the real issues. Most tipped workers hardly pay anything in tax, if they really cared about helping tipped workers they’d remove the federal regulation that allows tipped workers to be paid $2.13/hr; removing tips from taxes also lowers their social security in retirement.
Well I mean, if we ramp up production of oil, we don’t need to import as much, right? That’s all I was implying.
All I was really trying to point out is that the meme is quite reactionary and I don’t think painting “everything” he does as helping Russia is a good path to go down. But everything’s fucked anyways so who really cares? lol
