This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode the deficit.
3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.
They're trying to get away with it again.

After laying waste to the market, they buy back as many assets as humanly possible at fire sale prices, further increasing their wealth.
1. Its not 2018 and the world economy 'can't take a joke' like it did when things were relatively stable
2. It was supposed to be a slow bleed and not a monkey with a chainsaw and rocket launcher approach
Dems are just as complicit in giving money to the rich.
Three classes, leaders, donors and serfs - that's us!
Serfs have to be poor, sick, scared, ignorant, religious, and pregnant. They're going to need a lot of serfs to get through the mess.
Increase profit by:
- Eliminate all ✔️social programs, ✔️no collective bargaining, ✔️no regulations (cuts taxes and costs),
- Control ✔️laws & ✔️courts (control vote, Courts, Media, Legislature, Academia),
- Privatize
The rich are succeeding! Look at the wealth.
How did you HAVE THE KEYS for 4 years,
and then lose to donald trump?
What did it take to accomplish that?
Billionaire -funded policies benefiting billionaires.
Zip up the zippers on Trickle Down.
Profit taking. Protection money. What's the difference?
If they complain just tell em to take it out of your DOGE rebate check
No Republican in my lifetime has made things better, but here we are.
- No tax on tips
- No tax on overtime
- No tax on SS benefits
Please, raise your hand 🙋♂️ if you're wealthy and in one of those categories. 🙄
I invoke the original intent of the Declaration of Independence & refuse consent to absolut despotism.

How and how-much depends on portfolio mix; Buffett is the REAL king, in this regard; since the election has been selling off/pruning securities, hoarding liquid assets, and moving fixed/volatile assets to safe haven i.e., today he advanced, overall
What are ur havens?
Treasuries are another - remaining hi during todays volatility, declining (along with gold) as securities settled after heavy volume
Who won?
It's all about the money. He even tweets. Gosh Dam. How much money do these billionaires need? When is enough a enough?
Read it.
Now am thoroughly disgusted.
And then when they're not in power, complain about how messed up it is.
Unlike direct wealth taxes - complex, dead easy to avoid (just ask!), impossible to enforce - LVT is simple fair, and impossible to avoid.
Those in the UK (or elsewhere) should read:

- grasp authoritarian power
- alienate allies
- impose gigantic tariffs
- make the cuts vicious
- bow to Russia
But between retaliatory tariffs, slower growth, and reduced trade volume, they won't be able to get enough revenue.
5) Let the democrats clean up their mess, all while saying the dems will destroy the economy!
Rising authoritarianism worldwide inspired me to write an allegorical trilogy on the perils of fascism, failed democracy and autocracy. Check out:

Thank you, Terry.

The new game is to create pain and suffering for everyone below them. This is MAGA.
1. Stir up passionate protests with economic hardship
2. Invoke Insurrection Act
It's crazy how out of touch people are. They think liberals are "radical"? So-called "Independents" don't think all this is radical?
predictable and vicious cycle.
What to do now? Write a book about a vanishing species. For children.
Helsinki, 2018, is when the turd he received his official mandate from Putin.
You can see it clearly in his ugly, treasonous face.

It will only go to the floor for a vote if there is enough pressure!!!

This is at least a start!
by not expanding it.
Balance the budget.
Don't cut taxes and
be serious about which cuts to make
to save with the least pain.
Quality of life in such a rich Country
should not be so disproportionate.
Kill some insurance
industries like health.
after they give FATTER tax cuts to their billionaire donors,blow up the deficit&gut the social services for the poor they start their 24/7 Faux News,RW radio&cable pundits rage baiting the RW base by…

keep Americans poor, stupid, and breeding.
This is how they control us. By making us dependent.
Too many people are too poor to get cable so only get FOX?
Why is that?

They will keep doing it, unless we stop them. So far, we have been too gutless to stop them, and too many Americans have fallen for their conman lies to even think we need to.
Economy deliberately crumbling, global relations souring, stump speeches seem insufficient.
Dems: align, litigate, work the press, reach / engage across political divides.

fucking gluttony? in a country where everyone is obese? thats what you are picking up on? lol
Poor diet availability combined with cramped spaces & lack of healthy exercise opportunities…
Jobs requiring 8 hours a day toiling in a likewise limited space are exhausting but not the kind of healthy exercise needed to deal w/ bad diet.
They ARE getting away with it again.
The opposition party is weak and feckless. The youth did not show up in force this weekend for the Hands Off protests.
Nothing of real substance is happening,
Yet.
There is hope.
2-3 years later GW Bush gave huge tax cuts to the rich and corporations, and we went back to running a deficit. It’s multiplied ever since.
Every republican president and congress tries the same thing.
The result is a burst of mostly feigned greatness followed by a long period of digging the country out of a hole.
Unlike before, this idiocy is on a much larger scale…
