The big corporations are beating us down. People won't unify to fight back.

[Samrob]

People are rolling over out of fear. It's like they have us all by the economic balls. The gas companies know exactly what they are doing and they are being supported by MBS. It appears that even Israel is asking Biden to sell our national soul.
People are suffering and I understand but I don't have to like it. I just wish we could be more united in our opposition to big money in politics. It is so sad that so many people lost their lives fighting for this experiment in democracy and it is so unappreciated by those have sought refuge on our shores in the past 60 years.

It is crushing to see so many of those who are scorned and demeaned by Trump and his band of insurrectionist MAGAs actually supporting him and his ugly base. Or maybe they are a part of his ugly base???

Depressing how they scorn President Biden and seem to blame him for all that Trump and the Republicans have done and are still doing against our country.

2. Well, their stocks are tanking... so according to them it's time to give them another tax cut

After all, they can't manipulate their stock value without the funds for another buy-back.


And half the country will think this suggestion is a good idea.

5. Well, I wasn't counting only MAGAs

There are still mainstream GOPers (anti-Trumpers) that think tax cuts for corporations are the answer to everything.

So, I think the number is closer to half. (IMO)

3. As I have said before, our country will not be black bagged and death squad-led into tyranny

We'll just shrug into it and say "I don't want to make a scene" into it.

6. Corporations are sabotaging the Democratic party by employing economic terrorist

tactics in order to help bring about an authoritarian christo-fascist corporate state.

Because they can.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1938

The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism—ownership of Government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power.

The second truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if its business system does not provide employment and produce and distribute goods in such a way as to sustain an acceptable standard of living.

7. I only disagree with your idea that immigrants over the last 60 years are unappreciative

of our democracy. It seems to me that it is more white people whose families have been here for generations that are unappreciative and even hostile.

8. Many Americans care only about themselves. They have no sense of the common good.

No sense of "we're in this together."
