  • J’ai beaucoup de respect pour Thomas Porcher. J’en ai un peu moins pour le média.

    Cependant, j’avoue que je n’y connais pas grand chose en fiscalité francaise ou en réforme des retraites. Je n’ai pas regardé l’intervention de Emmanuel Macron, ni ses propositions. Je ne peux donc pas les commenter.

    J’ai quelques idées comme taxer davantage l’héritage immobilier, les multipropriétaires et le soda. J’estime aussi que ceux qui ont un emploi de bureau devraient travailler un peu plus longtemps que ceux qui ont des métiers plus pénibles.
















  • USAID spent $38.1 billion in fiscal year 2023. (1)

    Sounds like a lot of money, right? Well, actually no. It’s less than 1% of the US budget. In 2024, total federal spending was $6.8 trillion. (2).

    To give you a perspective:

    Since October 7th, the United States spent $17.9 billion dollars on military aid to Israel (3). Israel is a rich country with universal healthcare (4).

    US millionaires and billionaires evade more than $150 billion a year in taxes, according to the head of the IRS. (5). Gabriel Zucman, a highly respected economist (6) came to a similar conclusion. In a recent paper, Zucman found the richest americans evade taxes on 25% of their income (7)

    According to leaked tax returns, in 2016 and 2017, Donald Trump paid $750 in taxes. And he paid no income tax at all in 10 of the last 15 years. (8) (9).

    The US is not in financial trouble because of vaccines to kids in Africa. Period.

    Elon Musk claims USAID employees are thieves/scum. He keeps accusing them of fraud on his social media X. That’s another lie.

    In 2024, the Office of the Inspector General audited USAID at the request of Congress. The 70 page audit report found no evidence of fraud.
