There is enough for everyone to live a dignified and comfortable life, without financial worries. Everyone would have the energy to improve themselves, to create, come up with great ideas and inventions. Wealth would be distributed. But then the rich wouldn't be in control. They are too greedy...🧵
selfish, addicted, power hungry, and too scared to lose power -> they hoard money and keep the rest of the world poor, so people are always in survival mode and have no energy left to fight back. But the time is here when everyone had enough of this BS‼️
Yep. The recent United Healthcare CEO shooting proves this. Everyone was cheering for the guy who did it. Left wing, right wing, everyone was talking and rooting for the guy
I wish the nation wasn't so divided by politics and focus on the true enemy - the rich fuckers at the top of the pyramid.
Sadly the reality is it is who they are. Mean spirited.
Their vote for trump says something about the content of their character, which is most likely dark. Trump is a proven serial lier & a convicted sex offender & to try to deny or claim “witch hunt” this is further proof of their dark character
In fact further proof is many will try to justify their lack of decency by twisting the Old Testament to their personal belief system & claim god gave that freak to us. It’s no different from ISIS with their twisted version of the Koran.
Or when a prisoner says he’s found god to try to get out of prison. Then if successful, gets out, rapes again & then blames it on the devil, “oh satan got into my heart & fooled me”.
That line of BS is as old as Christianity.
You’ve seen it & I have seen it over & over. Put Matt Gaetz in prison!!
I don't want to let them off the hook entirely, but I think we must recognize that the masses here are undereducated and manipulated through fear and generations of lies. Hate and racism are often expressions of fear and misunderstanding that have been cultivated by power mongers.
John Thune on Sunday morning Political interview right now telling the audience there’s more tax cuts coming. The economy doesn’t need tax cuts. It’s idiotic policy at this time &with the majority in both Houses & the WH we can be sure it’s a done deal. The wealth gap will swell further by mid terms
So, you think that someone without food, a place to call home, no job (or prospects of getting one), no clothes is in that position because they compare themselves to others?
I think that a lot of people with a home, good, clothes, job, tv and cell phone see themselves as poor.
I admit I'm mostly considering western society with its social nets. There being in a situation where you have nothing to eat is a rarity. Maybe not quality food, but people don't starve to death.
I'm thinking of people from the rest of the world who don't have the luxury of seeing themselves as poor, let alone have social nets. For them, poverty is a life-threatening challenge. Everyday is a struggle to survive.
Good point. It's rather interesting though, that the countries that host those most insatiably rich are also the countries, where poverty isn't nearly as bad as in countries that don't have these gluttons.
“Leader of Senate: All fellow members of the Roman senate hear me. Shall we continue to build palace after palace for the rich? Or shall we aspire to a more noble purpose and build decent housing for the poor? How does the senate vote?
Entire Senate: F*CK THE POOR!” - Mel Brooks
Easy to say if affluent, no money worries.
Problem is personal accountability, living within one's means and ensuring wealth creators aid-assist those most vulnerable within society.
This sums it up perfectly.
No one is calling for billionaires to give up their fortune. We're just asking them to pay higher taxes so that others may live instead of them living so high.
Sad!
Jeff Bezos and his super yacht and lavish wedding were wasteful and attention seeking. No wonder Mackenzie Scott divorced him. She's the exact opposite. Giving it all away to help the less fortunate.
would have been better if it was yacht money, at least yacht makers get some reward... but no, a big chunk of all real resources burned and hard work toiled become intangible, floating numbers, most of which can never become "real" - only "traded"
Sadly, even if they paid their fair share of taxes they would still have enough for their yacht, houses and cars. They want us to have nothing while they have everything.
It exists because all politicians take part in insider trading. Try it and see how much jail time you get. Why aren't they facing time for their crimes? poor people are needed for the Private prison system which uses them for slavery. Poor people are also needed to fight in their wars
Yup. Homelessness is a policy choice. The rich would rather look the other way, or shoo them off to somewhere else (ANYWHERE else), than to give them an opportunity to financially get back on their feet
My wife was just chatting about this. Where it all went wrong was when men started to notice that some of the children women were giving birth to were "their" children. Ergo, the other kids in the tribe are someone else's. Ergo, my child, my land, my property, my everything. Ignorance is underrated.
As long as I have a certain amount of money, I will continue to enrich myself, because I can't satisfy my desires, and I will do so by any means necessary, including “power.”
I, with my dog and family, am the richest person on earth. The world is too wild to be owned. We are either good stewards or nothing at all.
When they slip away down that final K-hole, they'll find they're cut in two with one side seeking release, the other grasping endlessly at what they "owned".
Don't just share on this forum. Tell someone in DC what you think about any issue that is important to you. It only takes a few minutes and best of all..it doesn’t cost any money.
We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate.
Actually, it's because too many people think that rich people are intelligent because they are rich, even though nearly all of them became wealthy by inheriting their wealth from crooks.
They cannot be satiated. They have a hole in their soul which cannot be filled because they cannot love, because they don't know how it feels. They hurt everyone around them just so they can feel something,anything. Absolute soulless,loveless empathetically barren bastsrds. Love is the answer.
It appears that we will have the first American Oligarchy in history. Mostly billionaires running the government. Who's going to be looking out for the rest of us? Billionaires will always want more, and seek to protect their wealth, no matter what it takes.Usually at the cost of average Americans.
Yes, but you'll remember that they asked George Washington if he wanted to be the king, and he said no. He wanted to represent the people, but not "lord" over them. The new guy wants to be king, and he has his court, and his share of jesters as well.
You have to look at it in the context of the 18th century. Slavery was legal and a big money maker.It was wrong, but not in those 18th century minds.Everyone, accepted slavery as normal. Just the way we accepted segregated everything in the 50's South. If you grew up that way, you accepted it.
That's all white supremacist propaganda. There were anti-slavery movements in the colonies since at least 1652. There were plenty of people who did not, in fact, accept slavery. Same with segregation. The NAACP has existed since 1909.
When you say "we accepted" what you mean is you ignored it.
Either they’re all on those lists, or they’re controlled by someone on those lists. Not a single one of the oligarchs care about us or our children. They only care about what gives them more power or money.
Yes it is true, the wealthy can play a role in perpetuating systems of inequality, poverty is the result of a complex interplay of economic, social, and political factors.. That was the BS answer but the simple answer is YES..
This complex arrangement between the rich and poor has always existed.
Poverty in modern world is often relative phenomenon (both literally and metaphorically). People are depressed and desperate partly because of their social standing, even when they do have a lot to eat and survive. Hard to solve, not everyone can be top, first… that said, income ✂️ could be blunter
What they have is never enough for them. They always want more. And they take and take and take and they get away with it. It's disgusting how these millionaires and billionaires don't care one bit about anyone but themselves.
That music and those words only haunt me. Always have. This ‘cartoon’ represents the Conservative Party in our United States politics. Now that most of the billionaires joined the club of greed, I cannot stomach that song.
I heard once that native Americans saw members of their tribes obessed with the desire for MORE, but they thought of those people of having a mental illness. Sure I worried about not having enough, as do most of us. But how many pants or shirts do you need? A Ford or a Bentley both get you there!
Billionaires and poverty are policy choices. Tax billionaires out of existence and end poverty. No one should be homeless, hungry, without healthcare or education.
Better way of saying this is that poor people stay poor because rich people spend billions of dollars keeping them too uneducated to know that rich people are the problem and too disenfranchised to have the resources to educate themselves, then they make even more billions exploiting those people.
Please listen to my Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social speak on the floor. He is telling Americans what to expect and it should scare the 💩 out of everyone.
I’ve been saying for 4 years that tRump had to be stopped from ever setting foot in the WH otherwise our children and grandchildren and great grandchildren, etc. will be playing tRump Whack-A-Mole for the rest of time.
The greedy rich like Elon & Jeff should read Fyodor Dostojevski's "How Much Land does a Man Need " Best story ever about greed and destiny. Good luck guys in your voracious, hunger for the most ever. You cannot take it with you but you can do better than fan the flames of Donald Trumps big butt.
To have food on the table & not starve. To have a place to live & be safe. To be able to go where I need to go. To be healthy and see a doctor when needed. To have time to enjoy my life.
There are MANY of us that don't have all these things and can't afford to have them
Vancouver British columbia, BC Hydro tried to purchase an entire Block in downtown Vancouver for a new corporate headquarters I think about 30 years ago. One loan apartment building refused to sell to them. They still went ahead and built their corporate headquarters there and that building
Let’s play politics. Let’s demand a 15.00 minimum which the republicans will vote against! Let’s make immigration an economic issue and force republicans to vote against a bipartisan bill to accept it! Let everyone know the republicans are doing everything possible to stifle the American people!
You are all shocked when you find out most liberals own guns. It just does not look like it because we aren't cosplaying as a soldier on trips to walmart.
Also not advocating violence but making a point that the wealthy aristocracy of France also thought this and we see what happened when the people rise up.
if only! This is a nation that can barely change channels on a remote because we're on our phones. We're too busy celebrating the anniversary of the blue (or gold?) dress. and ordering GrubHub.
This is pure hatred in Canada, filthy, rich in. heritance. never worked today in its life. This creature. like Donald Trump, handed to him on a silver platter.
It's human nature. "The more we have, the more we want" is any human's weakness. There is no "Ozempic or Jardiance" out there to curb our craving for more and neither anyone we know has the self-discipline to know just when to stop.
Elon Musk himself has enough money to solve world hunger. And he's not the only one in this, there's quite a few of them that could combine the wealth and make life paradise for everyone.
This was they've decided to keep it hell for people. And yes, it was / is a conscious decision.
In that way, they’re almost pitiable. Imagine having a whole so deep in yourself you could never fill it. Never knowing contentment. Never feeling good enough. It’d be miserable.
But you don’t get to hurt other people trying to heal yourself. That’s what makes them contemptible instead of pitiable.
I don't pity them. If they were kind, they wouldn't be able to keep amassing wealth, they would give it up for common good. As it is, they are surrounded by other greedy people, who also only want to take. There is no love in their lives, because it can't exist in moral vacuum.
Oh I pity them, all right. Pity stops me from expressing my unbridled anger at them for the disaster after disaster they keep presiding over and every war they start.
They’re hoarding their money. They will never be able to spend it, and that makes them hoarders.
If more people thought of them in those terms, maybe it wouldn’t seem attractive to those who worship the wealthy.
A storm is coming. Keep your powder dry. We don't bow to billionaires while they worship their greed and average Americans starve and are enslaved. Greedy billionaires are not better than or vastly superior to the rest of America.
Because a new cast of greedy billionaires have taken over the democratic process by acquiring shares and publicity in mass media, thereby creating a new type of aristocracy which is based on money lines instead of blood lines.
This sums it up well.
It's still mind boggling to me as to how many millions of people blindly follow Trump. This is an example of the "keep em stupid" philosophy.
"Wake me when they burn the Reichstag!" didn't work; but they did wake me and now four years have passed. I see a second, better blaze this time for common people's attention. Maybe by April 1 over claimed crowd size; or lack of spray tan; or the Big Stage Manager in the Sky will use his hook.
I have had the pleasure to build homes for "rich guys ". The ones I chose to build for had to contribute to the community or my crew wouldn't take the contract. Please, never assume that they are all assholes.
money can buy you a great many things and as we see a government assembly,
but truth be told, the best things in life are not things.
When you're broke and wondering how to get food on the table you don't think about being loved.
He may have money; he also is a disgust to mankind. He's hated.
My theory is he and the ultra rich intend to use the money they'll make when the regulations are down and they don't have to pay taxes and so on to found a luxurious colony and enjoy life on Mars.
They will steal taxpayer dollars, then use it to buy more favors. They have enough money, it's not about that. It's about an egomaniac who took an obsession with politics, and has power and influence only because of his wallet. Why does money buy political influence? Perhaps it shouldn't.
No, it shouldn't. The Supreme Court made it easier. I think it was based on freedom of expression and giving money was determined as just that.
I don't call that conservative, I call it and other more recent decisions radical.
They're all pedophiles and rapists. So many MAGA turn out to be that way as Beks keeps uncovering for us. Doing this to us is a rapist mentality. Creating poverty where non exists is rapist mentality.
Not all hoarders live in homes stuffed to the rafters with trash.
As a society, we need to wake up to the fact that wealth hoarding is just like the other kind of hoarding, minus the ick factor of insects, rodents, and pet poop hidden in piles of stuff. It's the same mental illness.
Human's have four basic needs: Food, Clothing, Shelter, and Health Care. Since we are the richest country in the world it would seem practical that we could ensure these are available to 100% of our residents

thx John!
The latter has baffled me since a child of the 50s/60s raised in the South 😔
And, don't get me started on religion... John Lennon's "Imagine" lyrics will always inspire and haunt me.
I have such little faith in the human race these days...

You think conservatives think that's a bad thing?
Unlike you fascists, we like seeing people exercise constitutional rights.
But hey, who knows? maybe Mario will step up.
