Pissed Centrist

22/01/2025

An Idea I came up with that would circumvent government, and help create some balance. In an era marked by unprecedented economic disparities, it is our duty to foster a fair and just society where every hardworking American can thrive. Today, I present the Fair and Balanced Income Act, a groundbreaking legislative proposal aimed at rectifying income inequalities and enhancing financial security for millions. This initiative, harnessing the wealth of the nation's billionaires, will provide a transformative gift that directly supports those earning less than three times the federal minimum wage, ensuring that prosperity is shared more equitably across our great nation.

Proposed Bill: The Fair and Balanced Income Act

Purpose:
To create a transformative economic solution by implementing a progressive wealth gift from U.S. billionaires, directly benefiting workers earning less than three times the federal minimum wage. This initiative promotes economic equity, reduces income disparity, and strengthens financial security for hardworking Americans. The gift would be untaxed by the IRS, non-deductible, and considered a direct contribution to the American people.
________________________________________
Section 1: Progressive Wealth Gift from Billionaires
Gift Structure:

A tiered wealth gift will be applied to individuals with a net worth exceeding $1 billion, generating significant revenue for redistribution:

• Revenue from Wealth between $1 billion and $10 billion (1% Tax): $35.00 billion

• Revenue from Wealth between $10 billion and $100 billion (1.5% Tax): $37.50 billion

• Revenue from Wealth exceeding $100 billion (2% Tax): $9.00 billion

Total Projected Annual Gift: $81.50 billion
________________________________________

Section 2: Distribution to U.S. Workforce

Scope of Coverage:
The proposed gift would benefit approximately 66.5 million employees, representing 50% of the total U.S. workforce (133 million workers).

Proposed Payouts:

• $1,500 for those earning between $7,540 and $15,080: 13.3 million employees.

• $1,000 for those earning between $15,080 and $30,160: 33.25 million employees.

• $500 for those earning between $30,160 and $45,240: 19.95 million employees.

Total Cost of Payouts: $63.18 billion annually
________________________________________

Section 3: Additional Revenue Allocation

• Lockbox for Social Security:
Any surplus revenue generated beyond the required $63.18 billion would be securely allocated to a Social Security Lockbox, ensuring additional financial stability for future generations. Funds in the lockbox would be inaccessible to Congress for the federal budget, safeguarding its use solely for Social Security enhancements.
________________________________________

Conclusion:

The Fair and Balanced Income Act represents a simple yet powerful way to address economic inequality while ensuring fairness and stability. By leveraging a modest contribution from the wealthiest Americans, this legislation would provide meaningful financial relief to half of the U.S. workforce and strengthen Social Security for generations to come.

Centrism has been lost in the current political climate, and it’s often misunderstood as moderation. This confusion is perpetuated by both the far left and right. True centrists reject party dogma and focus on fact-based, common-sense solutions that serve the greater good. Centrists strip away the dogma first, then evaluate problems and solutions pragmatically. However, with both parties ostracizing the center-right and center-left, no one is left to bridge the gap and find common ground.

Moderates, on the other hand, operate differently. They adhere to party dogma but water down their positions, rarely changing them. This makes them targets within their own parties, often lumped in with centrists despite being fundamentally different. We are not the same.

For both extremes, the greatest flaws are hypocrisy and blind allegiance to their own failures. These tendencies stem from a tribal need for affirmation and self-delusion, often leading to doubling down when confronted. Extremes on both sides are frequently driven by individuals with narcissistic tendencies who disregard fact-based science whenever it challenges their narratives. They rarely allow facts to prompt reevaluation of their positions.

On the right, the issues include misogyny, a lack of empathy, religious zealotry, and a blatant disregard for evidence. Their leadership often harbors members of extreme ideologies like white supremacy, which I won’t delve into here, and their rhetoric often involves stolen valor and other forms of dishonesty.

On the far left, the problem lies in overreach and a refusal to compromise. Movements like LGBTQ rights and BLM pursue righteous causes but often present them with indignation, alienating everyday people instead of building consensus. From extreme stances on trans rights to overly aggressive calls for systemic changes, their valid intentions are overshadowed by alienating tactics.

For the average American, this means living with the reality that the enemy of progress is perfection. Both sides would rather complain about inaction than compromise and move the needle toward a better future.

There are moments where progress has been achieved—such as the legalization of gay marriage and marijuana—through centrists from both sides working together over time. However, the extremes derail such opportunities by clinging to hypocrisy. For example, the right often campaigns on reducing government spending but, once in office, cuts essential services while inflating military budgets and slashing taxes, increasing the deficit instead of addressing it.

In short, the biggest issue with the extremes? Hypocrisy and narcissistic leadership.

The larger issue plaguing U.S. politics is the two-party system. Since the 1980s, the GOP capitalized on hate, anger, and selfishness disguised as Christian values, purging centrists from their ranks. Social media echo chambers later enabled the left to follow suit, pushing out their own centrists. Meanwhile, Democrats and Republicans continue to manipulate ballot access rules to marginalize third parties. The media compounds this problem by downplaying third-party viability.

To get this country back on track, the center-left and center-right must come together to form a well-funded, science-based party focused on common sense and logic. Not one rooted in libertarian ideals or the far-right elements of the Green Party, but one that rises above rhetoric and calls out the hypocrisy.

This doesn’t need to be a massive party to make a difference. The focus should be on winning a few Senate seats in smaller states like the Dakotas, Utah, Iowa, or Montana, where one-on-one campaigning is possible. Similarly, targeting purple districts in states like Virginia, Georgia, and Ohio could yield 10 to 20 congressional seats. Well-funded grassroots campaigns in these areas, combined with media saturation, can break through the narrative control of the two-party system.

If the center can secure enough votes to influence leadership and determine control of the House and Senate, it will fundamentally shift the balance of power. The far left and far right will no longer dictate the agenda. Instead, the center will hold the leverage, granting power to whichever side demonstrates a willingness to work collaboratively and address issues with respect and pragmatism. It’s time for the adults in the room to step up, putting both extremes on notice: the era of childish squabbling and outdated "get off my lawn" politics is over. The center has the potential to restore reason and accountability, forcing both sides to finally act in the best interest of the people.

Until that changes, it’s only going to get worse. The current trajectory is one of escalating division, with both extremes digging deeper into their trenches while everyday Americans are left behind. Without a centrist force to hold them accountable and demand compromise, the dysfunction will continue to grow, leaving the country stuck in a cycle of inaction, hypocrisy, and partisan chaos. It's not just about politics anymore; it's about the future of governance itself.

So perfect.. as the onion is often more fact based than InfoWars was.

The Onion, the satirical news company that repeatedly spoofed conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, has won the bankruptcy auction for control over his media empire — most notably InfoWars, the far-right, conspiracy-minded website that served as Jones' primary online platform.

A Letter to my friends on the Left:

In recent years, centrists and independents have often felt ignored. Many of us hope for a shift toward rational, realistic, and fiscally responsible decision-making after last Tuesday. Healthy relationships, whether personal or political, are built on compromise, not on rigidly sticking to the party line. But today, both the far left and far right seem to have dismissed anyone who’s looking to find the pragmatic center of issues.

Now, it’s important to clarify that centrism is not the same as "moderation." Moderates often remain beholden to the party narratives, tied to the same media and ideological structures that keep them rooted in predictable positions. Their views, while sometimes less extreme, still orbit around the same dogmatic center. True centrists, on the other hand, look at issues individually, weigh options based on merit, and find a balance that genuinely serves people’s needs, rather than one dictated by party loyalty.

Consider policing reform. Phrases like “Defund the Police” and “All Cops Are Bastards” capture frustration and anger but lose people who would otherwise support meaningful reform. They hand easy talking points to the far right and alienate the middle, leaving many centrists feeling caught between compassion and practicality. But a solution centered on community engagement, where officers build trust by walking beats, engaging with residents, and focusing on de-escalation, bridges the gap between safety and accountability. We all want safer communities, but we need an approach that doesn’t shut out potential allies.

And here’s a key point: many centrists are actually socially liberal, sometimes even more so than some moderate Democrats. We are often strong allies of the LGBTQ community, finding common ground with values of acceptance, equality, and inclusion. Case in point: figures like Pete Buttigieg, who embody both social progress and a pragmatic outlook on governance. We may hold fiscally conservative views, but that doesn’t preclude a commitment to human rights and social equity.

In the end, many of us centrists believe in fairness, equity, and a compassionate society. Often, we align more with the goals of the left than the right. But when the left ostracizes those of us in the center, casting us as opponents, they lose vital support needed for real progress. Most centrists believe that compassion and pragmatism go hand-in-hand; we see that careful, balanced approaches often yield better, more lasting results.

So here’s the reality check: stop pushing us away. Stop lumping us in with the right or dismissing us because we refuse to settle for political theater over progress. We’re not the enemy; we’re the voices in the middle who can bring reason and a practical vision that actually builds change. Wake up and realize that by casting us aside, you’re not hurting us, you’re limiting yourself. Real change doesn’t happen by alienating allies; it happens when you open the tent, bring in every reasonable voice, and work together to make things better.

It’s time for the left to recognize that we’re the bridge they need to get things done. So don’t shove us out; work with us, because until you do, the change you’re after will remain out of reach.

The future is now, and that future looks like 1936 Germany.. and now I sadly on a personal level understand how the N***s came to power.

Those mad, or disappointed, or angry now and DIDNT vote.. you have no one to blame but yourselves. Its that simple..

Trump used everything out of the N**i playbook, and the Christian right and the willfully ignorant soaked it up. While the "good" people, didn't think it would happen and so didn't go out and vote.
It wasn't on the N***s, it was on the "good" people for not standing up when it mattered. It was the "good" people that felt "politics doesn't matter" and "won't affect them". It was those that turned a blind eye and let the atrocities happen in their name.

I cannot understand how someone could vote for Trump. But that's not what lead us here. We got here because the "good" people, gave Trump unfettered control by simply not voting. The House and the Senate and the Supreme Court are now going to do his and the Heritage Foundations bidding. What I am at a loss for is how the "good" people NATIONWIDE stayed home and didn't vote at all.

You are destined to repeat history if you don't remember it. Not teaching history, and the dumbing down of America is partly to blame as well. Want to make America Great again, remove those in power that want to force "Christian" teachings from the schools, and return to fact based learning, and teaching critical thinking skills, and VOTE next time before its too late.

Democrats and Zennials can blame themselves PERIOD. Those that didnt vote anyway..

Trump lost 2 million votes
The Democrats lost 14 million

We KNEW this election was about turn out. The Democrats did not turn out. Thats not the fault of the GOP. Thats the Democratc leaderships fault.

If you vote for Trump, you may not be a white supremacist and N**i, but the person you are voting for is and you're enabling him.

This is NOT AI, this is in Barnwell, SC and put up by his supporters.

This is NOT a Democratic conspiracy HIS Campaign approved these signs, and they were made by a PAC supported by Musk.

Take your blinders off.. This isn't a dog whistle.. its a blowhorn.
