    A lot of younger people simply don’t know that the age we all consider the golden age of middle class America (40s-70s) was so because we TAXED THE FUCK OUT OF THE WEALTHY. As we should.

    If we do not return to doing so, our quality of life is going to continue to decline indefinitely.

    TAX. THE. FUCKING. RICH.

    DON’T VOTE FOR ANYONE THAT DOESN’T RUN ON TAXING THE RICH.

      Not even the Democrats could do this with a Democrat controlled Congress and presidency

        The democrats are cowards, the republicans are evil. If there ever is another proper election in the US, vote independent.

        They wouldn’t want to do that because it would not serve their self-interests.

        Do you honestly expect the fox to prevent itself from guarding the henhouse?

            American politics are two billionaire children in a trenchcoat trying to emotionally appeal to two groups by claiming one group is oppressing the other group into poverty through two millionaire children in a trenchcoat making claims that they keep saying through a bullhorn funded by billionaires, until you either burn somebody’s Tesla or hate that a Black person can get into Harvard with lower test scores than an Asian.

            We deserve the fall of Rome and anyone who disagrees is problematic to a fucntional society.

              deserved or not, it’s coming and can only be delayed by another welfare state like fdr did during the depression

      Conversely, I think most of the county would rabidly support anyone who ran on that platform… Even most Trump voters
