"How do companies get a tax break by replacing their workers with AI? Here's how it works. If a company hires an employee, they pay payroll taxes. But if that corporation replaces their human workers with AI, they get a tax write-off for the machines and the tech. So if you fire your human workers and replace them with AI, you get a huge tax break. That's just wrong. That's why the Congress needs to pass my proposal to tax AI and keep Americans working."

<p class="text-xs text-slate-350 leading-relaxed break-words">We already know this!!! I paid a larger percentage of taxes than the top five billionaires combined last year and I don’t make that much. This is a class war. You make $14k+a month w/ health, benefits, pension, per diem, travel, PAC, speaking fees, consultation fees… you got a lot of fucking nerve</p>

<p class="text-xs text-slate-350 leading-relaxed break-words">Greg, NO ONE is being replaced by AI. Companies like Oracle have made a giant bet that is likely to ruin them. There's no money being made here.</p>
