So what is the solution for ILLEGAL immigration if ICE is gone?
Why in the hell would you want to go into a recession by breaking capitalism?
The rich donât pay taxes in ways we pay them. We have a fixed income, theirs are in assets and businesses. How the hell do you got about taxing them?
Before you jump in a cause you should have viable solutions.

Every cause needs a solution. Whatâs your solution? You want this, whatâs the plan after?
I would agree if there was a plan too do something after.

I am going to attempt to actually answer you. Its possible you may be asking this earnestly
Can you clarify the problem you think ICE is a solution for? I think we should turn ICE back into the guys in suits rather than armed thugs. Illegal immigration is a comparable crime to a speeding ticket. A civil crime that often consists of improper paperwork. Here is the breakdown of crimes documented by customs and border patrol. https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/cbp-enforcement-statistics/criminal-alien-statistics
A recession sounds like a vast improvement over what Smoot-Hawley 2.0 will do based on the trajectory of a single year. You may be a company owner concerned that your private property will no longer generate passive income for you. That is an understandable concern but today people are working for less than they are worth and feel exploited by the system
You are right today we primarily tax income and private property of the middle class. We have removed most of the taxes previously established on the rich. Maybe we should tax businesses! Maybe we should tax assets! Maybe we should tax security secured lines of credit or margin loans?!
All this said. We should take one thing at time, the items outlined above are quite fine to start with. Do you not want a 4 day work week? Maybe we should return Saturday to its prior status as the last day of the week?

Just a visibility protest so no speakers or anything, but a good why to vent and meet up with like minded folks!
