“imagine being taxed because your mom died!”
Imagine being taxed because you sold your mom's house, months or years after she died.

I don’t think the USA is at the point where we should all worry about arbitrary arrests.
"All" may not need to worry, but there are plenty of people who do experience them.
Fancy! I've been meaning to pick up the tomes of beasts, but other shinies keep getting in the way
Hey now, Venus has plenty of features! There's that cloud, and that other cloud, and some clouds over there, and...
He converted several social welfare programs to tax credits (meaning people had to have the money up front to participate, and wait for a refund at tax time).

Capitalism is supposed to ensure that the people that own the factories have all of the power. The current behaviour is core, fundamental capitalism.
It serves the ownership class. It always has. It's its sole purpose. The rest of us have been supported by social programs that momentarily flared and, in the process, rescued the name of capitalism while workinf directly in opposition to it.
Please, define inflation. Tell the class what the ever loving fuck you're talking about.
Use small words. We already know you don't know what the big ones mean.
Also, we pay for those insurance plans. They take money out of our paycheques every month to cover premiums. Almost certainly more than most of us pay in taxes to cover federal pharamacare.
The fact that li'l PP pants here can just lie publicly without consequence, and indeed is likely to be rewarded for it, is a crime against us all.
Touche.
Imagine you sold your spare house, months or years after your mother died.
