      Austerity doesn’t even work. It’s deliberate cruelty.

        All this while systematically crippling our tax investigation departments.

        If I ever meet Merz or someone like him, I will have choice words to say.

          The capitalist elite has less problem with fascism than socialism. Only one of those threatens their wealth

          In the short term. Both threaten their wealth in the long run. Fascism still wins out.

              Good enough to be understood but not good enough to not use idioms incorrectly. For example, I spent a solid five minutes trying to remember if "así así" or "ni fu ni fa" can apply to competency before throwing my hands up.

              Mediocre. Mi español es mediocre.

              I just need practice.

                It works for the wealthy. It saves them a lot of money on taxes.

                    It’s short sighted though.

                      It’s not short sighted for the wealthy. Over the last 40 years, the wealthy have amassed massive amounts of income and wealth. It worked out great for them and the politicians that they purchase.

                        While I couldn't find the article anymore ( it's a bit old ) I just found one for 12 for 170 thousand.

                        Another where they pay 20k for each because they are circular and more.

                        Tax waste is just all surrounding.

                        So you're just making things up based on the vibe.

                            Then how about stopping welfare for millionaires?

                            Or stop subsiding e.g. plane fuel. Better for the environment anyway.

                              Merz is a conservative. They're all like that.
