  1. its called a "graduated tax." it says we all pay the SAME tax on the same amount of income. in the u. s. no one pays taxes on their first $10k. we all pay the same tax rate from $10k to $50k. we all pay the same tax rate from $50k to $100k. the same for $100k to $500k. and so on. (these are estimated figures to simplify the example.) no rich american ever became poor through taxation. but the lower classes often lose their homes from unaffordable propertry taxes. and since the rich are major recipients of govt welfare they benefit from the taxes they pay. they benefit much more from the taxes they pay than the lower classes benefit from the taxes they pay. but fair taxes are essential in a capitalist economy. (taxes aren't needed in a socialist economy.) under capitalism its fair taxation that builds and sustains a nation's infrastructure. its taxes that make society function. taxes are the glue that hold society together. but with unfair taxation the tax burden falls to the people who can least afford it. taxes are missappropriated, fraud is rampant, the infrastructure crumbles and we all, except the rich, suffer. the latter is the reality of today.

  3. socialism DOESN'T result in big govt. CAPITALISM DOES! our corporate rulers, the capitalist gangsters, use big goivt to increase their profits, protect their wealth and enforce their will. capitalism ISN'T free enterprise or free marketism. it stifles free markets and competition. it consolidates wealth and power into fewer and fewer hands. capitalism is the antithesis of democracy. on the other hand, socialism and free-marketism are essential identical. they are both democratically based systems designed to protect human rights and benefit society. so keep this in mind the next time you hear a "leftist" demand bigger govt or hear a "conservative" falsely claim socialism is "evil." BOTH SIDES HAVE IT WRONG! here's the reality people: capitalism is economic fascism and fascism is political capitalism. the one can't exist without the other. they both result in and enforce a corrupt elitist heirachy that thrives off the slavery, expolitation and oppression of the people. socialism is ecomonic democracy and democracy is politcal socialism. the one can't exist without the other. they both prortect society and the individual from the corruption of any ruling elite. capitalism DIVIDES, pitting people against each other for their daily survival. socialism UNITES people for the common good. its just that simple.

  8. @DensLight ... in your previous statement you just revealed the flaws of minimum wage and the cause of inflation. inflation is caused when businesses raise their pices 5% to counter a 2% raise in wages. its the consumer who actually pays the wages of ANY business and its the business owner or the "investors" who reap the profits. meanwhile, wages will NEVER be set to increase to match the rate of inflation. its a perpetual game of "catch-up" that labor can never match or win. this is the flaw in minimum wage. the system is designed to be ineffecient. for every COLA increase in minimum wage the capitalists increase prices even more. and minimum wage isn't even set to automatically increase at the annual rate of inflation. minimum wage remains stagnant for years while inflation increases every year.

  9. ​ @TeaParty1776  ... i don't evade individual rights at all. no one has an "individual" right to profit at the expense of others. to profit from the misery of others. to profit through fraud and theft. what the hell's wrong with you? our individual rights PROTECT US from such crimes, unethical practices and predatory actions. the constitution DOESN'T protect profits. what it does protect is OUR HUMAN RIGHTS!

  10.  @TeaParty1776  ... YOU DEFEND FORCE! what do you think the result of the accumulation of wealth is? what the hell do you think a corporation is? ITS RULE BY FORCE! there's NO DEMOCRACY in business. like i said, you're just a corporate troll.

  11.  @jeffwagner4522  ... what? you think the rich and the poor didn't exist before 1980? i didn't say the "wealth gap" began with reagan. i said his policies have accelerated the widening of this gap. and that's proven by the facts i listed.

  12. the trick to a better more just society isn't finding the solution. its implementing the solution when the rich own the govt. we're not ruled by govt but by CEOs and their corporations who own the govt.

  14.  @Mockduck2020  .... yes, my friend. capitalism results in socialism for the rich in the since they, as a group, or class, recieve privileges and advantages we ALL deserve but remain unavailbe to the rest of us. but, by definition, socialism is anti-elitist and anti-privilege. where we're all socially equal. so its not real socialism. but its a good analogy to demonstrate to people how capitalism steals their human rights from them and gives them, exclusively, to the ruling elite. thanks for the reminder!

  18. the GOP keeps voting for more economic hardship and then claiming they're the only ones who can make it better while making the rich richer. the Dems keep pushing for absurd social changes that create the very hate they claim to want to end. hint - if what you're doing has the opposite effect than your intent then YOU STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING! capitalism creates conflict. its based upon conflict not cooperation. its a "winner-take-all" economic system designed to DIVIDE rather than unite. and it succeeds all too well. we're not ruled by govt but by corporations. you ever hear of a "democratic" corporation. ALL corporations are elitist autocracies where a a single gangster or a small board of fascists make decisions for ALL SOCIETY! they decide wages, and costs of services and goods, they write the laws and otherwise do things without so much of a public discussion much less a vote! they use unfettered and unrestricted advertising propaganda, "astro-turfing" and fraud to manipulate and influence stupid blind people to betray their own self interest and abandon their own freedoms, common sense and common decency.

  19. YES! these apt management companies are doing their part in driving up rental costs! i can't afford to spend money on countless application scams indefinitely. i was recently denied a rental because my income wasn't THREE TIMES the rent! THAT'S INSANE! I PAY MORE THAN HALF OF MY INCOME ON RENT NOW! never missed a rent payment in 45 years of renting and this is my reward! to be denied a rental for being too poor although i can afford to pay! and my current landlord refuses to enforce the lease against my neighbors who've harassed and abused me for 6 years! so my two choices are - continued harassment and a criminal landlord that allows it or homelessness! THAT'S WHAT AMERICA HAS BECOME! there's another word for "private equity firms." its called gangsterism. the only difference between these firms and organized crime is that the fraud and theft committed by the firms is legal. but the only reason its legal is because of bribery and corruption. if the mafia had the money they'd be completely legal too. the law is based upon NOTHING but who has the most money to spend to buy politicians and political parties. america is run by gangsters and has been for sometime. and this is called capitalism.

  24.  @jeffwagner4522  ... so you think ignoring the causes of this ever widening wealth CHASM will make it go away? that makes no sense. but, then again, nothing about the greed and brutality of capitalism makes any sense. capitalism is an undemocratic system where the elite rule through oppression, fraud and force. right now 95% of the world's wealth is in the hands of 15% of the population. 1000 families possess more wealth than the rest of all 8 billion of us combined! this trend began as the result of the undemocratic, pro-elite, fascist policies implemented by thatcher/reagan. and you think continuing this madness will end it? ya, right.

  26. in the forms of tax breaks, subsidies, bailouts and govt contracts the rich are the MAJOR recipients of govt aid. corporate "consolidation" is just another word for a "trust" is it not? a trust is a monopoly. monopolies are supposed to be anti-capitalist in the ssense that they remove competition from the market place. but the reality is this is how capitalism is supposed to work. perpetuating the ruling elite and giving them more power by making them even richer. the reality is capitalism is the rejection of competition and a corruption democracy. reagan was every bit as corrupt as trump and his pro-elitist policies have a reach that outstretches that of trump. the u. s. and the world are still suffering from the corruption of the reagan administration. in fact, reagan, through fraud, backroom deals and foreign interference, stole the 1980 election just like trump stole the 2016 election. there are actually two types of investors in EVERY BUSINESS! 1) there's the artificial investor; rich investors who makes passive, unearned income from their financial investment and who have no other connection to the company. 2) then there's the intrinsic, natural investors. these are the employees, the patrons and consumers and the community in which the business is located. ALL these groups of investors invest their lives, their labor, their money and the very well being of their community in EVERY business. yet capitalism allows gangsters living hundreds or thousands of miles away, who don't work in, shop at or live near the business to have more influence and profit more from these companies than the REAL investors who interact with that business everyday. that makes no sense. CAPITALISM MAKES NO SENSE!

  28. my posts KEEP BEING BLOCKED! here's my original post for the 4th time - here's the problem. neither the right or left thinks of the potential long-term consequences of their choices. biden was too old to run in 2020. what? did they think he would grow YOUNGER? i saw this problem 4 years ago. were the rest of you BLIND? now we're stuck with him. DON'T start defaming biden now! between trump and ANYONE the latter is the obvious choice. between trump and a dead hamster i'll choose the dead hamster EVERYTIME! i'm so damned tired being ignored as the things i warn against become issues years or even decades later. i warned that trump was a REAL fascist back in 2015. EVERYONE ignored me. i warned what used to be the "left" that their ridiculous and INSANE positions on unfettered immigration and (i can't say it here because yt BANS ME!) would turn normal working class americans against the left. THE LEFT CREATED MAGA! I KNOW HOW TO GUARANTEE a dem win in almost every election. but you idiots REFUSE to listen to reason and accept reality just like the GOP DOES! so now, we're told trump, a bona-fide traitor, gangster and corrupt imbecile has a chance to retake the white house and the dems and the left REFUSE to adjust their insane positions accordingly to make sure he doesn't! trump lies and makes obscene statements and NEVER backs down, now the left is doing the EXACT SAME THING AS TRUMP! YOU'RE ALL NUTZ!

The decision was penned by Justice Antonin Scalia. it was a 7-2 decision. this insanity is equal to that of the "citizens united" decision that illegally declared corporations as people and legalized political bribery in the u. s. we don't have a country anymore. its been taken over by corporate interests, special interests and political lobbies. we live in a LAWLESS society where corruption and gangsters RULE!

  42. biden will win the election. trump's never won an election in his life. he's the most HATED man in the country and that's not going to change. but the fact that a national election (the election for president is the ONLY national election in the u.s.) can be corrupted by just how 1/2 million people vote in 5 states is the antithesis of "democracy." the electoral college has been outdated now for over 125 years! i don't recognize the authority of .5% of the population to dictate to everyone else who'll be the president of the entire country. imagine if govenors were chosen the same way. govenors are chosen from universal voting. all the voting citizens within each state make their choice. and that's how our presidents MUST be chosen if the u. s. is ever going to be a real republic or democracy.

  43.  @Mockduck2020  ... you know who controls our lives and dictates to us more than the govt? our employers and the retailers we use. they interfere and affect our daily lives more than any other entities. you ever work for a company or shop at a retailer that allowed their emplyees or patrons to VOTE on anything? no, they just do what they want. the public be damned! the word "democracy" applies to ALL society, not just politics or politicians. as long as we continue to be RULED by people and policies we never voted for we don't have a democracy. furthermore, capitalism allows politicians to be bought and beholden to those who buy them. CAPITALISM CORRUPTS EVERYTHING! capitalism and democracy CAN'T COEXIST! they're diametrically opposed to one another.

  44.  @robertmichalscheck3072  ... don't be fooled. democrats take corporate donations too. and they all invest in the stock market too, just like the GOP. rich people fund BOTH SIDES! they want their privileged status INTACT regardless of who's in power. but the dems, at least, say the rich should pay fair taxes and support a livable wage. the GOP's so corrupt they won't even do that. trump, in one of his "debates" during the 2016 election, admitted publically that he bribed politicians in exchange for favors. but he didn't use the word "bribe." he pointed to several other GOPers in the debate as examples of who he bribed. he did this as a criticism of those GOP "establishment" candidates but he inadvertantly confessed to crimes! and NO ONE on either side reported on it. they ALL ignored it. why? because bribery is standard proceedure in american politics. when you expose the GOP for their accepting bribes you expose the dems as well! that's why they all remained silent on trump's public confession.

  45.  @Mockduck2020  .... i agree. the whole system stinks to high heaven. you know, there's already laws in place that protect us from this corruption. but they aren't enforced. anti-trust laws protect us from monopolies - but they aren't enforced. there's laws against bribery but the so-called "supreme court" decided, in their "citicens united" decision, that bribery is perfectly acceptable. did you know, In the cases DeShaney vs. Winnebago and Town of Castle Rock vs. Gonzales , the supreme court ruled that police agencies are not obligated to provide protection of citizens. what good is a govt that refuses to enforce its own laws? what good is a govt that doesn't protect its own people from the predation and injustices that inflict them everyday? what good is our govt? its not a democracy. its not a republic. its a cesspool of corruption otherwise known as an ologarchy, an aristocracy and many other names apply to.

  46. yes, these fanatics claim life begins at conception but human rights end at birth. before you're born you have THE POWER OF THE STATE to protect your impending birth. but after birth you're on your own. such insne backwards, convoluted logic. that's maga and that's the heritage foundation.

  47. here's the problem. neither the right or left thinks of the potential long-term consequences of their choices. biden was too old to run in 2020. what? did they think he would grow YOUNGER? i saw this problem 4 years ago. were the rest of you BLIND? now we're stuck with him. DON'T start defaming biden now! between trump and ANYONE the latter is the obvious choice. between trump and a dead hamster i'll choose the dead hamster EVERYTIME! i'm so damned tired being ignored as the things i warn against become issues years or even decades later. i warned that trump was a REAL fascist back in 2015. EVERYONE ignored me. i warned what used to be the "left" that their ridiculous and INSANE positions on unfettered immigration and (i can't say it here because yt BANS ME!) would turn normal working class americans against the left. THE LEFT CREATED MAGA! I KNOW HOW TO GUARANTEE a dem win in almost every election. but you idiots REFUSE to listen to reason and accept reality just like the GOP DOES! so now, we're told trump, a bona-fide traitor, gangster and corrupt imbecile has a chance to retake the white house and the dems and the left REFUSE to adjust their insane positions accordingly to make sure he doesn't! trump lies and makes obscene statements and NEVER backs down, now the left is doing the EXACT SAME THING AS TRUMP! YOU'RE ALL NUTZ!

  48. yt blocked my comment YET AGAIN! here's my original post for the 2nd time - here's the problem. neither the right or left thinks of the potential long-term consequences of their choices. biden was too old to run in 2020. what? did they think he would grow YOUNGER? i saw this problem 4 years ago. were the rest of you BLIND? now we're stuck with him.

  50. yep, trump's driven the entire process to the gutter. debates, elections, duties and functions have been lowered to the level of a gutter rat where ethics, good faith, honesty and reality have all been demonized to satisfy the egomania of a single criminal dork. biden will win the election. trump's never won an election in his life. he's the most HATED man in the country and that's not going to change. but the fact that a national election (the election for president is the ONLY national election in the u.s.) can be corrupted by just how 1/2 million people vote in 5 states is the antithesis of "democracy." the electoral college has been outdated now for over 125 years! i don't recognize the authority of .5% of the population to dictate to everyone else who'll be the president of the entire country. imagine if govenors were chosen the same way. govenors are chosen from universal voting. all the voting citizens within each state make their choice. and that's how our presidents MUST be chosen if the u. s. is ever going to be a real republic or democracy.
