BillyOcean said:I’d suggest looking more closely at actions vs words
Dems had a chance to do real healthcare reform and choked
Repubs admittedly suck at this stuff
Trump is also incoherent BUT he has broken the dam of dem and repub BS
He has shown that challenging the conventional wisdom can win
You need a bigger picture view

You’re not big picturingFecalFace said:Jeff Bezos' personal bank account went from $129 billion to $150 billion in a week.

Not even being paid the living wage.
Big picture lol
I’m about the long term manafoaf said:so we're back to wealth redistribution, then?
higher taxes on investment revenue?
your portfolio won't enjoy the revolution...

Protectionism is so easy- f other countries which are leeching on us
Will our GDP suffer? Maybe a little
But if average joes live with more dignity we’ll have a better society overall
