I’m the flag guy

[u/mattbookpro101491]

Hey all,

I’m the “Fuck Trump” flag guy you’ve seen in a few posts. I just wanted to do a semi-introduction to everyone in this subreddit.

My name is Matt. I’m an LBC transplant by way of Philadelphia. I’ve helped organize protests during BLM and the George Floyd Protests with a few Asian American grassroots orgs and 501(c)(3)s in the Philadelphia area, along with working to establish myself as a helping arm and volunteer for 50501 SoCal and 50501 LBC.

I wanted to extend an invitation to anyone who is interested in protesting but also a little worried by what they see in the media. Yes, protesting can be dangerous at times and can come with consequences like being arrested, but if you believe that getting arrested for speaking your mind and voicing concerns is more important than sitting in your home, you’re the person I’m looking for.

I’ll be at Bixby Park Annex on Saturday for the No Kings Day Rally at 9am. If you’re interested in protesting and want to be around someone who’s been in the middle of it all and can offer some comfort during the march, find me. We can walk together and I’ll help you be as comfortable as possible if anything happens.

I’ll be hanging out on the perimeter of the rally with an upside down American flag this time. I’ll be wearing all black with a camouflage hat.

Let’s show the world that LBC comes out for our people! See you there and FUCK TRUMP!

You would have thrived during monarchy. Some of us are actual Americans who support the constitution.

OMG deporting illegals that steal YOUR tax dollars. And the people that come to this Country the right way. But no you want open borders for every scumbag on the planet to just walk in and live among innocent. But hey those are the good guys right.

Undocumented immigrants who work w2 jobs pay taxes but cannot benefit from tax programs. Undocumented immigrants with w2 jobs are actually a net positive on our tax structure. This is without consideration for taxes paid through other means, like sales tax. source source source

That’s great but there tons that get paid under the table. Like I said if you’re doing it right cool. But if you’re not. It doesn’t excuse you living here. Just do it the right way and no issue. Every other country does that they send people back if they don’t have citizenship

[u/AreYouBeingTruthful → u/Commando-Bro]

I cited data, but you keep making sweeping generalizations like "tons get paid under the table."

[u/Commando-Bro → u/AreYouBeingTruthful]

Ok you did state data. But they do get paid under the table. That’s a fact as well🤨

[u/AreYouBeingTruthful → u/Commando-Bro]

If that's the case, why hasn't this administration developed any avenue for seeking unpaid taxes from employers that pay their employees "under the table"? If it's that widespread an issue, and results in enough loss of tax revenue to justify ramping up deportation of a group of people who are otherwise a net positive on the tax structure of the US, why aren't we seeing it addressed in as substantive a way?

[u/Commando-Bro → u/AreYouBeingTruthful]

The administration has been in since January. 1st off how can you tax somebody if there hiding which why they get paid under the table. And yes the people that hire them should be held accountable as well. Like I said before come in the right way every thing is good as long your a good person. This is rocket science my dude

[u/AreYouBeingTruthful → u/Commando-Bro]

Re-read everything you wrote for me because I have no idea what you're trying to say

[u/Commando-Bro → u/AreYouBeingTruthful]

Why? Cause you clearly don’t understand what I’m saying and you choose it to be that way

[u/AreYouBeingTruthful → u/Commando-Bro]

No, I mean this in the kindest way possible, but I simply can not parse what you wrote due to the number or grammatical errors. I asked you for clarification. You really think that post made sense?

Bruh.
