America isn’t collecting enough taxes because the money isn’t there. America isn’t collecting enough taxes because Republicans keep slashing taxes below what’s needed. Rich people and corporations need to be paying more period.
in case you haven’t heard, Tesla just paid Elon Musk 50 BILLION DOLLARS. I am sure he will offset that with all his losses on acquiring and trashing and losing money on Twitter/X. In Eisenhower’s time, he would have kept the first million and then been taxed 75% on the rest Unless he put money back into his companies and hired more people, instead of laying them off to pay for their excessive salary. THAT is why we don’t have money to pay for investment in our crumbling infrastructure, bridges, schools, and affordable housing..
It is my humble opinion brought about though my observation over the past 7 decades I have come to see art as found in any culture but in this case our culture as something akin to the spirit (literally breath) or soul , as it were , of our culture. How important is that breath? Well , in human terms going more than 3 minutes without the ability to breath can kill you. A culture that can not breath shall surely die. A society without art is unsustainable. It would seem that that this the point of project 25.
To effect our American culture with it’s ideas of acceptance and the encouragement of free expression everywhere but Especially thru art. To what ends? It has nothing to do with financial restraint and everything to do with gathering power and exerting control.
Art compels us to think. To feel. When you’re doing everything in your power to stop people from thinking and feeling, denying access to art is the equivalent of banning books.
What is so interesting about DeSantis’s destruction of the governance and arts culture in Florida is that Florida has no income tax, it has no estate tax. It does have real estate tax. But it relies most heavily on tourism. In the end, that is what he is destroying. And the next time there’s an election for governor, he will no doubt expect gratitude from the residents. I doubt he’ll get it.
In case you haven’t heard America is broke. We need to trim all nonessentials.
How about we trim you?

Yes, like most anything going towards MAGA movements, fascism or especially Project 2025 !!!

Nobody moves to Florida for the culture, unless you're referring to visiting the original Hooters. 😜
There definitely is culture in Miami and Palm Beach.

A lot of this part of the plan has been I acted in states such as Kansas where all children use to have much greater opportunities
