George Takei :verified: 🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽

The House bill to “fund” Israeli aid is idiotic. By pulling 14.3 billion in enforcement funds from the IRS, it results in a loss of revenue of $26.7B according to the just released CBO report. That means it will cost us $12.5 billion over a decade. Far from paying for the Israel aid, it costs us another $12.5 billion MORE. This bill should go NOWHERE.

@georgetakei
Elect dumbfucks because the biggest dumbfuck of all likes them and you get dumb💩 results.

@georgetakei
Not surprising he comes out of the gate protecting first and foremost rich tax cheats. It's all you need to know about the sociopathic insurrectionist Lieutenant.

@georgetakei US politicians are rich. Rich people often try to avoid paying tax.

@georgetakei
Time to cull all of the tax cuts going back to the 1982 budget, at minimum.

@georgetakei The former Tax Evader in Chief will be so proud of his dancing monkeys.

@georgetakei The owners want the IRS gone. They don't give the proverbial rodent hindquarters for Israel, this is just a convenient way to make it harder to vote against the bill.

@georgetakei I believe that this bill while obviously constructed in bad faith, is very smart and manipulative.

Just like the new speaker - bad faith, smart, manipulative. This is a very scary combo when tied to power.

@georgetakei if you can be Captain of a Starship, why can't you run a country? Just saying <3

@georgetakei Biden has promised it will go nowhere. He intends to veto it.

@georgetakei This is the point of the bill, using the Israel as an excuse to kneecap the IRS and protect the wealthy who defraud the federal government.

@georgetakei Then maybe we should stop electing Corporate Stooges like Joe Biden. Instead of using your platform to silence the voices of Progressives like myself, you should be standing up WITH us, not Against us.
But do you boo l.

@georgetakei who’s going to tell Clark Kent, better known as Mike Johnson that this bill is going nowhere FAST-FAST? 🇺🇸
