Scott Walker just can't stop with his tax analogies.

That's probably because he doesn't actually understand how taxes work himself.

This time, he's attacking Elizabeth Warren's idea to add an additional tax to the ultra-wealthy.


First, the former Wisconsin Republican Governor, ousted in the 2018 midterms, came for New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's 1960's-esque taxreform proposal.

Now, he's attacking presumed presidential nominee Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.

Senator Warren recently proposed an extra 2% tax on America's 75,000 wealthiest households. This would only affect those with a net worth of $50 million or more.

Walker attempted to discredit her tax proposal by creating an analogy about straight A students.

Many people are taking it upon themselves to correct and improve his analogy.




Others are reminding him that he has no room to talk.



And others don't understand why he thinks he would understand the "straight A" perspective.



But nobody is distracted from the real issue of him not understanding how tax policy works.




Scott Walker, go back to your day job.

Oh wait.

You don't have one.

Tweet Claiming Mamdani Will Make NYC Schools Teach Arabic Numerals Sparks Predicatable MAGA Meltdown

MAGA fans are losing their minds online after an X account posted a rage bait tweet claiming that New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani will "require all New York elementary school students to learn Arabic numerals"—completely overlooking a key fact about the numbers we already use from day to day.

Mamdani, a democratic socialist, will take office in January after winning November's election despite a wave of racist and Islamophobic attacks. His win has rocked the political establishment nationwide and sent shockwaves around the world.

Even MAGA Podcaster Joe Rogan Is Ripping Trump For Flip-Flopping On The Epstein Files Release

Conservative podcaster Joe Rogan criticized the Trump administration's shaky narrative around the Epstein files and shared his disbelief over President Donald Trump's complete 180 on releasing the documents after spending months calling them a "hoax."

Trump is widely believed to be in the Epstein files and had long rejected calls by his followers to release them, admonishing critics of Attorney General Pam Bondi, who concluded earlier this year that no such list exists, despite claiming the exact opposite just months prior.
