‘Scorched-Earth Attack’: Trump Admin Cuts Off Childcare Funds to All States

Well, here's a good use of #AI. Now, let's make it so!!! This is the #GiantLeap we all need to survive!

I Asked #ChatGPT What Would Happen If #Billionaires Paid Taxes at the Same Rate as the #WorkingClass

Story by Laura Beck
10/23/2025

Excerpts:

What That Money Could Actually Buy

"To put these numbers in perspective, ChatGPT explained what this kind of revenue could fund. Even the conservative estimate of $500 billion per year could pay for transformative programs.

"That amount could cover free public #college tuition, universal pre-K programs, massive #infrastructure investments and a huge #healthcare expansion. It could fund comprehensive #ChildCare support and #FoodAssistance programs.

"The AI emphasized that we’re talking about enough money to fundamentally change how the government operates and what services it can provide."

The Global Ripple Effects

"ChatGPT pointed out that if major economies like the United States started taxing billionaires at working-class rates, it could encourage similar moves worldwide.

"This might lead to reduced global tax avoidance, more coordinated international tax policies and pressure on tax havens to reform their systems.

"The AI said this could create a positive cycle where it becomes harder for the ultra-wealthy to avoid paying their fair share anywhere in the world."

@AstroMancer5G

Bummed that I can't quote this, as I wanted to contribute.

Agree. 💯

And maybe there's another point here, that religious folk want these benefits to ONLY come from religion so they'll block the work to provide these to everyone. "Social policies don't work!" "Non-profits can do that!"

But do they? Are they actually effective at providing the services? Or do they function as marketing with a small side-benefit?

These people want you to have as many kids as possible while trying to make it so that you can never #retire, afford #childCare, take leave from work, or so much as take a #sickDay. And this is what they want to impose on the whole of society.
