A billionaire ran country with mounting insane debt, wealth inequality worse than at any time in our history, a warming planet close to collapse, and a system where billionaires get our tax $$$ in corporate socialism, but we are expected to pay our taxes like good citizens to fund their private jets, and 100 room mansions across the planet.
Thousands of Americans die each year from lack of proper medical care simply because saving their lives is not profitable enough for our government's owners.
For any politician to do anything that is not a direct benefit to the 1% they face an army of lobbyists with billions in backing to attack them with. Soshillizzim. Having billionaires pay taxes like working people is soshillizzim.
I am sick of living in an oligarchy. Monopolies own everything with little choice for services.
Google America Is An Oligarchy" This is what you get from Wikipedia:
"The modern United States has also been described as an oligarchy because economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence."
I am the one with little to no influence.
Thank you Bernie, and Elizabeth for not being "moderate" while I am being robbed blind.
I can handle the truth.
It is our job to let the lemmings understand they are being robbed blind too. Eventually it will get through to them. Hopefully before they need help that will never be there unless someone makes a profit.
