For every $1 invested into the IRS, we get a return of $5 to $12, according to the CBO. Wouldn't more investment in the IRS help reduce the $31 trillion in debt?

Ben Franklin, founding father and founder of the U.S. Postal system, would not approve of privatizing a public good such as the USPS. He saw it essential for democracy & national unity. Low income & rural areas will suffer if it is privatized as the wealthy influencers only stand to gain.

The U.K. privatized its postal system in 2013. From 2012 to today, the cost of mailing a letter increased from .60 (GBP) to 1.25 (GBP)-more than doubled; while the U.S. has gone from $0.45 to $0.68 (about a 51% increase) for the same time period. Padding profits in the privatized UK postal system?

Since: union membership went from 30% to present day 10%; the top corp tax rate has gone from 48% to present 21%; top individual rate has gone from 91% to 37%; CEO-to-worker pay ratio has gone from 30:1 to today's 400:1. While the top 1% hold 41% of the wealth today and the bottom 50% holds 2.5%.

According to Article 1 of the US Constitution, Congress coins money, not the President. Separation of powers? This undermines the U.S. dollar and exposes us to hackers and unrivaled volatility in our currency.

I thought they only hired the "best?" How does the "best" fire the wrong people? #idiocracy
