In poker, this is what as known as a "tell"... meaning, you're saying one thing, but thinking another.

Dancing when you think about speculators coming in, is a tell. This guy is the ultra rich. He is the "oligarchy" he has done nothing, but used politics to make his wealth.

i don't care if the pendulum swings off into another dimension at this point.

the faction split is happening on both sides organically, I'm a neolib foreign policy hawk, i hate turbo nationalist evangelicals as much as i hate bleeding heart progressives, fascists and commies suck, who knew...

there is literally a super majority of like 70% of the population in the middle if the cringe Portland wokes and the bible thumpers would go kick rocks we could live in a paradise but Nooooooo apparently pronouns and dumb fuck slogans like defund the police is a fight worth literally losing everything liberal democracies have built over the 100 years

Look I can do that too.

"Research indicates that wealthy interest groups have significant influence over political decisions, regardless of the party in power"

So no you can't blame the Democrats or the Republicans for this.

Additionally, during Biden's presidency we were under Trump's tax plan to give out handouts to the rich.

Did you forget that?

And now on eve of that tax plan ending you again are on the side that wants to further pull a reverse robinhood.

This really boils down to the lack of education they want to further promote in this next administration.

Why do dictators, theocrats, and liberals all agree that successful americans are the problem?

I seem to remember the last time a "culture" was doing well and another "culture" wanting to blame them for all their own problems.

Hmm, those were socialists too.. funny.

No my taxes are the only thing that I have going for me. And literally everyone loves how much they are paying taxes.

And it wasn't the taxes that gave the 1% 4 trillion, it was the American rescue plan, and the build back better plan.

You know when you say socialist are you saying Soviet Union, Venezuela or Cuba?

Please be more specific [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Or is it the buzz word they feed you.

And America isn't anywhere close to socialism.

the system is turbo fucked though, like just fixing the shit elon did with stocks and taking out loans against those stocks to skirt around having to pay taxes because a stock isn't actually worth what it's worth in the eyes of uncle sam but a bank can use it as collateral on a loan would be a start.

system has more exploits in it than a alpha build of a game on steam. fix all the actual bullshit and then do away with welfare

sink or swim should be universal, but the rich exploit free money from the government more than anyone

Those were both plans that benefited the working class.
It got us out of the mismanaged covid recession.

Sadly demand returned and ports were still congested with no rapid plan to reopen and several oil refineries during 2020 were closed and no one bothered to bail them out with even a loan like the car industry. Thanks Donnie!
