  1. No wonder Trump is freaking out. Break out the orange coveralls!

  2. I'm 57 and Ditto here. More progressives is the only way we are going to wrest control of our government and country away from corporations. Beat back the corporate coup d'etat of the USA!!

  3. Two years ago stocks gained enough value to equal 49% of our GDP. Last year stocks gained enough value to equal 66% of our GDP. Once stock gains reach 100% of our GDP, no one will be getting out of debt and the top 1% will own us all. Prepare for slavery people.

  4. Yes, our gutless corporate democrats caved in to promises the GOP never intends to keep. Democrats had leverage for the first time since TurtleRump was sworn in, and what was accomplished with that leverage? Nothing at all.

  5. More like the American Pipe Dream, we have been sold a bill of goods, a con job.

  6. I did an Excell spreadsheet to see if our economy could actually pay for all the rentier capitalists. Imagine my surprise when after entering 70 years worth of GDP and financial asset data, when it showed me that wealth has been growing faster than the economy for all that time. The economy cannot keep up with wealth extraction. Since 1947, the economy has averaged 5% growth annually. Financial assets have averaged 6% annually, and started 1947 at over twice the size of the economy. Last year the growth of financial assets was greater than 66% of our GDP. A few more years of this and we will all be debt slaves with no means of getting out of it.

  7. flower2289 - Been moving around in the real world for half a century and what I have learned is this genuine nugget of wisdom. . . . stunted flowers like you need more sun and water. Take your own advice. Meanwhile AOC is certainly more compelling, realistic and rational than wilted flowers like yourself.

  8. It is amazing that the American people allow themselves to be bullied by corporate boards and corrupted politicians, they after all set us up by welcoming illegal immigrants to bust our unions and furthermore set us up by not prosecuting those who hired the illegal immigrants. Way to go stupid white America, your republican education . . . I mean propagandist indoctrination is showing through.

  9. jack dawson - Your comments mirror my sentiments, it is all a game and we have had only one party for decades now.

  10. Yup, you are indeed one card short. Another troll farmer in action and a liar to boot. We all know that for a solid 100 years, it is the republican party that sells out to corruption. Democrats track record on that score is not even half the record set by the criminally corrupted republicans . . so I'll take the half bad over the entirely bad all day long.

  11.  @vanessamaldonado5877  - The problem with an armed rebellion is this; the wealthy have sown so much discord and disinformation that any rebellion is bound to be unfocused and thus easily overcome. Then the wealthy will use the apparatus of government to make sure rebellion cannot happen again, using the first uprising as pretext and legal precedence. The problem we have is with wealth itself, or to be more specific we have problems because of unregulated wealth accumulation. It is a fatal system flaw, which the wealthy present as the main system feature (anyone can get rich). When I delved into the numbers this system flaw became apparent, no system can run on limitless values but we pretend our economy can do exactly that. Why do we believe this? Because the wealthy market to us a vision of an economy as they want us to perceive the economy. The entrenched beliefs instilled in our population by wealth owned media, would be used by the wealthy to demonize any armed rebellion. Unless an armed rebellion knew exactly who the enemy is, any use of force is likely to make matters worse. What we really need is a simple message of clarity strong enough to overcome the propaganda fog put out by the wealthy. After all, since when have the wealthy ever made good decisions for society?

  12. It is past time for a third party. If the democrats put another corporate or establishment candidate up for president like Booker, Biden, Harris or Beto . . . I will be voting third party for the first time in my life. Being born in 1961 at the tail end of the Baby Boom, I have had enough of the propaganda put forward by both republicans and democrats. I joined the Justice Democrats to help push the democrats to the left, but I am seeing that effort having no effect for possibly decades . . . and we no longer have decades to waste.

  13. Want to blow your mind? Financial assets gained $13.277 trillion in 2021. That sum is equal to 66.98% of our entire GDP.

  16. Rent will always go up faster than wages, because housing is categorized as a CAPITAL ASSET.

  18. barkon34 - Have you no logic? The best time to be left alone to write such a long and brilliant work is when the opposition controls the Congress. Now is the "getting to know you" time for the bill and when the blue wave washes away the republican filth, that will be the time for action.

  19. And yet, Kentucky just elected him to another six years. They call what Trump did "The Big Lie", when actually the Big Lie goes back over 50 years. The only way we get out of this is eliminating billionaires and limiting millionaires to a few million each. Growing unlimited wealth is the actual big lie, when really, nothing can grow forever.

  24. PROPERTY SOLUTIONS ATL - If you are going to work, you are the employee and not the capitalist. There are relatively few capitalists in the world and more than enough workers, which is a definition of economics that is starting to cause problems for the global population. So far, there are no efforts being made to provide for a global population that will at some point no longer be needed as employees/serfs/slaves.
