    Many peoples are confused and have been influenced by the propaganda made by the MAGA gangs. This is just a procedural ruling, the Supreme Court has not canceled or abolish the Birthright citizenship constitutional amendment.

    A national class action suit must be submitted in order to be considered by the US supreme court and the Supreme Court can not eliminate the Birthright clause. Donald Trump and his followers did not win this case. Hundreds of class action legal suits are going to be filed

    This new ‘beautiful bill” that is being cooked in the US Senate, clearly shows what we have said based on the Marxist analysis; The state is an institution financed with surplus value, the burden of taxation rest on the profits of the capitalist class, the myth about workers taxpayers, it just a myth, nothing else, Those bourgeois representatives must cut the social programs in order to provide more profits to the capitalist class. All these maneuvers is just an spectacle to blind and cheat the working class, and the so called national debt is the debt of the capitalist class

    It is all here, we do not need a doctorate degree in economics in order to understand it :

    The taxation myth

    And here too:

    Cooking the Books II: The National Debt: whose debt?

    This is a fair description which still applies today but, unfortunately, is a source of many currency crank theories. Marx was aware of this and warned:

    ‘The great part that the public debt and the fiscal system corresponding with it have played in the capitalization of wealth and the expropriation of the masses, has led many writers, like Cobbett, Doubleday and others, to seek here, incorrectly, the fundamental cause of the misery of the people in modern times.’

    The fundamental cause of this misery is not the financial system but the class ownership of the means of life and production for profit. What is required to remove it is not monetary reform but common ownership and production directly to satisfy people’s need.

    We have the necessary tools to answer many question, we just have to use them

    ——————————————————————–

    The left-wingers are propagating a bunch of false economy theory but it looks that they have not read Marx on the issue of taxation, and they continue dispersing the idea about the so called working class taxpayer. We are just wage slaves

    Here are 21 myths debunked about immigration, from Aviva Chomsky’s book “They Take Our Jobs! And 20 Other Myths about Immigration,” each followed by a summary of her counter-argument.

    Myth 1: Immigrants take American jobs
    Immigrants often fill jobs that complement those of native-born workers or address labor shortages, and their presence often stimulates economic growth and job creation.

    Myth 2: Immigrants compete with low-skilled workers and drive down wages
    Wages are shaped more by employer practices and broader economic forces than by immigration. Immigrants do not have a significant downward effect on overall wages and can help create new jobs.

    Myth 3: Unions oppose immigration because it harms the working class
    While some unions historically opposed immigration, often due to racism and exclusion, many unions today support immigrant rights, recognizing that solidarity among all workers is more beneficial.

    Myth 4: Immigrants don’t pay taxes
    Immigrants, regardless of status, pay billions in local, state, and federal taxes, including sales, property, and income taxes.

    Myth 5: Immigrants are a drain on the economy
    Immigrants contribute more to the economy than they receive in services. They are consumers, workers, and entrepreneurs who help drive economic growth.

    Myth 6: Immigrants send most of what they earn out of the country in the form of remittances
    Most money earned by immigrants is spent in the U.S. on housing, food, and other goods and services, benefiting the domestic economy, even though some earnings are sent abroad.

    Myth 7: The rules apply to everyone, so new immigrants need to follow them just as immigrants in the past did
    Earlier immigrants often faced fewer restrictions, and today’s laws are far more exclusionary and difficult to navigate, especially for people from certain countries or backgrounds.

    Myth 8: The country is being overrun by illegal immigrants
    The proportion of immigrants in the U.S. population is not unprecedented, and claims of being “overrun” are exaggerated and not supported by demographic data.

    Myth 9: The United States has a generous refugee policy
    U.S. refugee and asylum policies are selective and often driven by political interests rather than humanitarian concerns, with many refugees excluded based on shifting criteria.

    Myth 10: The United States is a melting pot that has always welcomed immigrants from all over the world
    The U.S. has a long history of exclusionary and racist immigration policies, welcoming some groups while barring or discriminating against others based on race, nationality, and class.

    Myth 11: Since we are all the descendants of immigrants here, we all start on equal footing
    Historical and ongoing inequalities mean that not everyone starts on equal footing. Race, class, and legal status have always shaped opportunities and access in the U.S.

    Myth 12: Today’s immigrants threaten the national culture because they are not assimilating
    Immigrants have always contributed to and changed American culture. Assimilation is a complex, generational process, and fears about cultural change are not new.

    Myth 13: Today’s immigrants are not learning English, and bilingual education just adds to the problem
    Most immigrants want to learn English and do so over time, just as previous generations did. Bilingual education supports learning and integration rather than hindering it.

    Myth 14: Immigrants only come here because they want to enjoy our higher standard of living
    U.S. foreign, economic, and military policies have shaped global migration patterns, often creating the very conditions that drive people to migrate.

    Myth 15: The American public opposes immigration, and the debate in Congress reflects that
    Public opinion on immigration is diverse and complex. Political debates often misrepresent or oversimplify public attitudes for partisan purposes.

    Myth 16: The overwhelming victory of Proposition 187 in California shows that the public opposes immigration
    Ballot initiatives like Proposition 187 reflect specific political contexts and can be influenced by fear-mongering and misinformation, not necessarily broad, sustained public opposition.

    Myth 17: Immigration is a problem
    Framing immigration as a “problem” ignores its benefits and the structural factors that drive migration. Immigration is a normal and often positive part of global society.

    Myth 18: Countries need to control who goes in and out
    Borders and migration controls are relatively recent inventions and are often enforced selectively. The idea of total control is both unrealistic and historically inconsistent.

    Myth 19: We need to protect our borders to prevent criminals and terrorists from entering the country
    Immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than native-born citizens. Fears about crime and terrorism are often exaggerated and used to justify harsh policies.

    Myth 20: If people break our laws by immigrating illegally, they are criminals and should be deported
    Immigration violations are civil, not criminal, offenses. The moral and legal complexities of migration are often ignored in simplistic calls for deportation.

    Myth 21: The problems this book raises are so huge that there’s nothing we can do about them
    Change is possible. Understanding the real causes and effects of immigration can lead to better, more humane policies. Fatalism only serves to maintain the status quo.

    Now, it is Ellons Musk vs Trump, Republican Party and Democratic Party

    Ellon Musk wrote on Twitter: If the big beautiful is passed by the Congress, he is going to funds new political candidates and primary the senator that pass the bill, to defeat the republican, and he will form a new political party ( The America’s Party ) to eliminate the Republican=Democrat single political party domination. It sounds like the Night of the long knives

    This is only a fight between sectors of the capitalist class, and US workers are in the middle of the punches of two capitalists boxers, it is not their fight, the fight of the working class, is the class struggles.

    Wars are also financed by the capitalist class.

    The new US budget bill is just another permanent bailout for the capitalist class, and all bailout are financed by the capitalist state too, workers do not pay for bailout, the state will come to their rescue, the capitalist state belongs to the capitalist class

    The working class does not even own the cemeteries, they are real estate business owned by the capitalist class.

    Many workers do not want to understand that we are just wage SLAVES, living from paycheck to paycheck, if we miss one , we go in bankruptcy, but we have too many false illusions in our minds.

    We are the only living being that exists over the earth who must pay for everything in other to survive

    This is the opinion of a rightwing website about the new bill passed by the US Congress. This happens when the working class does not have any class consciousness, when the working class become tailgate of their own exploiters and oppressors, and when the working class does not know anything about the class struggle.

    The only solution for the working class is socialism and nothing else.

    These so called state ministers do not have the balls and the courage to stand up and reject it , they are elected by the working class, but they work for the capitalist class. Millions of poor peoples are going to die, and millions of peoples are going to become poorer, and many workers and retiree are going to get desperate and are going to kill themselves, this is suicidal.

    More than 4 trillions dollars have been eliminated . This is going to create a working class revolt within the same workers that are supporting Trump and the MAGA movement

    It is really pathetic that more than 75 millions poor workers decided to put a knife on their chests, and let the capitalist class to get richer using their pawns known as representatives, peoples elect them and then they defend the interests of the capitalist class. If situation like this take place in Europe, the workers would be on the streets the same day

    The so called National Debt in all countries is the debt of the capitalist class, and austerity plan is for the working class. This situation shows that the so called working class taxpayer is only a myth, the burden of taxation affects the profits of the capitalist class

    The Taxation Myth

    The real concept was explained by David Ricardo and Karl Marx and still the myth continues in the capitalist society

    What about pension rights?

    Most workers do not know that pensions are just deferred wages paid by the former employers and a continuation of the class struggle. The US is becoming a society of elderly workers and many are going to request pensions and retirements, and that place a heavy burden on the profits of the capitalist class

    Why is the US dollar falling by record levels in 2025?
    Sell-off linked to unpredictable and unfunded economic policies which threaten the safe-haven role of the US dollar.

    Now they are washing their hands and blaming each other, but when a Venezuelan emigrant killed a white woman it became a national

    tragedy. Like in the old days when an Indian was hungry and steal a chicken the whole town destroy their tribes, and when a black man raped a white woman the whole neighborhood was also destroyed. One emigrant pays for everybody. More than 75 humans beings have died specially children due to climate disaster, weather weather understaffed and under funded due to the austerity plans

    “Experts warned for months that drastic and sudden cuts at the National Weather Service by Trump could impair their forecasting ability and endanger lives during the storm season,” said one critic.
