  1. It’s proven that the tax code can help most of us, and, make a healthy, happy country. When the tax code was heavily taxing the richest, we all lived better, and this became the leader of the world, and a country that everybody admired!!!!!! and nobody can deny this!!!

  8. You have note that a very small number of people went and voted, and he only won by a little . I think a lot of people people didn’t go, and if they had he may have lost!!!

  17. these things happen in a place where MONEY is so important to the people!!, This country worships money, wealth, and fame!!! People don’t matter so much anymore. I hear people saying things, like forgiving them like “well he’s rich, I’m not surprised,”

  18. He bragged about his lowering taxes , but is was a tax cut only for the richest people. I am not one of those rich people and I pay 35% taxes, and they only pay 21%. ( if they pay any)!!!!!!!

  19. the next Democrat willl have to fix EVERYTHING!!!

  20. It is very disturbing. He never quits!!! He is the worst grifter I’ve ever seen or heard of

  21. The antiestablishment sentiment in the US is because the wealthy have taken most of the money and wealth for themselves with a very small number of millionaires, and billionaires who own 80% of the wealth, and some 3 people have some 50% of the wealth. That’s the first reason, and nobody is doing anything about that. TRUMP promised he would “FIX “ that! “I will protect you “ I will help you” “ I will get you all jobs, and you will be working your asses off” He was President 4 years and he DID NOT give them jobs! He did not protect them! They are not working their asses off. Maybe less had jobs when he got out of the presidency!!!!!!!

  22. The second problem is that 90;000,0000 people did not vote, who could have voted. I would vote for the popular vote movement!!!

  23. Or they could have a term of 2O years and then retire !!!

  24. On the flip side of it, if a civilization forms with an already established religion, is totally authoritarian.

  25. You are being too nice . their taxes s/b more like 50% not 2 or 3%!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  26. This isn’t so much of a “guilded age. It is more of a poverty “age” where the Rich have grabbed the majority of the money and power in this country, and in much of the rest of the world. We do have to restart another NEW DEAL!!!

  40. We know all of this about the wealthy, and have been told about this for years and the people WONT wake up!!!! I know you, R Wolff., Picketty, Varoufakis, have been screaming this for years, but the people won’t WAKE UP. What do we do??

  41. So true prediction. I wouldn’t say that NO ONE heeded it. A lot of us did, but the majority didn’t many people were living well from the New Deal, and COULD NOT believe that it eWorld change. Most people did not did not think that they needed to fight to keep the rich (and their Corps.) under control!!! But the rich etc., were secretly taking control, and thought that “we” were just “wakky” They also took control of the information flow and started BIG TIME propaganda, and they started criticizing Unions. I had many, many arguments with average workers about the unions not being bad(I was an adamant Union supporter). I even worked in a Union Pension plan administrators and I was in the only office I ever saw, that was unionized! So I knew the benefits of Unions,. Then the Unions were Destroyed by the Rich. I also saw how the Oligarchy silenced “rebels” or “communists “ , like Mario Savio who could not get back into school (Berkeley) and later could not really get jobs: Blackballed. Brilliant writers like Robert Scheer, could not get jobs (except the LA Times) so they had to start their own reporting papers. you are totally right that Biden HAS TO win the next election, or we are doomed!!! I thought Biden was a nothing politician, but he has now has shown that he I MUCH better than we thought!! There is a lot more to do, but at least what he is doing is a good start. But Biden wisely has started to “get the word out”! Let’s All fight for Biden!!!

  45. You are right about there never has been this situation ever in this country and world . Biden just has to keep up being active and positive like he was in the State of the Union and in his positive speeches!!! People just have to realize what a DANGEROUS person is to this country more than ever.We the people have to just KEEP in mind how bad Trump is!!!!

  50. You have to give it to Biden, he was good and strong enough to drop out for a better candidate. Not many are willing to let go of the sugar in the coconut!!! He is a way better person than most!!!!!!
