When your rich, white plantation owners imposed their "capitalist" values against the natives and African slaves, they did it at the barrel of a gun.
When other countries have a policy you don't like, you bully them at the barrel of a gun.
When your bank comes to reposes your house, they do it at the barrel of a gun.
If you are a student or former student with a giant student loan, they force you to pay large sums each month, at the barrel of a gun.
When your RW government started your war on "drugs", your conservative government of Capitalists put themselves in a position to dictate what you could put in your own body - at the barrel of a gun.
So what do you call it when GOP gives giant tax cuts to the rich and then cries about the deficit and looks to cut SS and Medicare to pay for it?
What do you call if when your Capitalist government privatizes profits and sosialisties the losses?
What makes RW Capitalists think that making tax payers pay for a giant military complex and endless wars a better investment for the future than keeping your kids healthy, and educate them?
When Donnie takes his weekly trips to Mar-A-Lago, who pays for it?
Who pays for those private for profit prisons?
Who paid for the Wall Street bailout in 2008?
Who's going to pay for your next illegal invasion?
Who's paying for those 200 military bases around the world?
When a CEO takes 4000 times as much as his average employee, isn't that a coerced redistribution of wealth?
If you could choose between having to work for someone else, or starve, or having a shared ownership in your company with voting rights, what system would you choose*?
But off course.. Forget all that...Because giving tax payers in return what they pay for..like public education and publicly funded healthcare is stealing from the pockets of the Trump kids, the Walton family, the Koch brothers, Jeff Bezos, Martin Shkreli, Jamie Dimond, Betsy DeVos and the Hilton kids. (Who just got giant tax breaks btw..Where to cut in order to do this? Ah! Social Security and Medicare! "Entitlement programs!")
Fact is that your entire system is built on false premises. Your wealthy psychopaths pits you against each other.. by playing identity politics. White vs. blacks.. poor whites vs. immigrants. Christians vs. everybody. Gay vs. straight. Men vs. women.
Nations. Religions. "Races"... All minute details created to make you think that your wealthy employer gives a shit about you, and how the "others" are coming to take your tiny slize of the cake as your boss takes the largest portion.. By the virtue of having more stuff than you.
