1. Go ahead Tx Lt Gov Dan Patrick take one for the team!

You sick sonofabitch, I doubt you'd be missed by your grand kids anyway.

6. My thought exactly

2. The Important People that will collapse...

...are corporations - already beneficiaries of tax cuts and bailouts. And that wouldn't bother me at all.The "country" would be better off.

3. Does that include Trump and Pence? They're both grandparents.

4. But billionaires won't give up any money to save the economy for THEIR grandchildren, will they?

They really think their money will protect them. And it's true they'll get better healthcare than the average person. But that won't save them all. Watch them turn on each other like crabs in a bucket when the Reaper starts coming for THEM.

5. I notice we don't have a "society" any more, just an "economy." That seems to be the logical outcome

...from Americans ceasing to be "citizens," and becoming "consumers."

This Nana doesn't feel like dying a horrible death for this idiot's dehumanizing cause.

10. Capitalism is like a cancer to a society, if it isn't controlled it will destroy it. nt

11. Strangely, uncontrolled anything becomes like a cancer, doesn't it? Balance is all.

9. Nope. Sorry the five grandkids need me!

I am the one who takes care of them when they are sick on a weekday. I am the one who takes the kid with braces to the orthodontist in a dental emergency. I am the one who picks up the littlest one from school when no one else can, at least twice a week. I'm the one who watches the dogs when they go on vacation. I'm the one who explains long division and grammar. They need me! I'm the one who loans my car when someone wrecks theirs. Twice this year, already. wtf. I'm the one who makes cinnamon rolls from scratch. Are there other grandparents in the family? Yes, and they ALL do stuff, too. All of them.

Grandparents, you are necessary. Don't let anyone trade you in for stock market points.
