    I got mine at a bookstore in LA's Chinatown, in the 60s.

    Well, the chicomms are making big bucks with capitalism.

    USA:

    "Pensions themselves are also top heavy. The bottom 90 percent of households accounted for only 35 percent of the value of all pension accounts, according to Wolff's research. The top 10 percent own the rest.

    Put another way, pension accounts and stocks represent 19 percent of the total wealth of the middle class — or the middle three quintiles. But pension accounts and stocks represent more than 40 percent of the wealth of the top 10 percent."

    Fact-checking Gary Cohn's claims on pensions

    And that was 2017

    I know a quick and easy way to pay for the last two months

    The NYT has analyzed all 250,00 words spoken by Trump during this pandemic.
    Here's a few outtakes:

    Unemployment in his country must be really bad. I think he's unemployed and living on the public dole.

    Of all the blather I've read in that post, this is the one that sticks out like a sore thumb. Have you not seen the video of the meeting where Trump played the media's own words and videos back to them and how it enraged them even more? I don't have to defend Trump. I didn't defend Obama or his partner, Hillary, Kamala, Mad Maxine, or Feinstein, Pelosi, Schumer, Boehner, Ryan, or any others. The Constitution itself is the biggest rebuke to all of them by the very fact that they all have endorsed democracy. It remains, just as a founding father said, the vilest form of government ever devised by the mind of man. I wonder if, when those congresspersons were sitting like infantile babies on the floor of their chambers, were you sitting in front of your tv like a good little lemming and worshipping them?

    Don't get me wrong....the so-called "republicans" who have abandoned the Republican principles of our Constitution have a lot to answer for, and they will. ALL of them, but it won't be my place to judge them or anyone else. That unenviable responsibility belongs to another far better than I could ever hope to be, and He will do so with all wisdom, power, and love. All I can do is vote out the worst of those rinos I recognize and hope the rest take note. Same with democrats, who have no Constitutional authority to even exist in our Republic.

    I've noticed that people like Pelosi and Obama touted themselves as christian at some point in their tenure. Pelosi and many others still do. I wonder how they'll feel when Christ comes to set up a theocratic form of government on the earth...?

    Well we don't have to await a second cumming or an end of days. Our Blue State Brothers are needing a bail out.
    They have given away the store to the Public Sector unions, failed to control expenses, and now, despite huge taxation, are facing state bankrupticies.

    Do we have to provide relief to this malestorm of hatred the Democrats have become?

    Each time I see Sen. Dick Durbin on MSNBC he is frothing at the mouth in hatred. so now he needs a bail out?

    I dont have a public pension and am not keen on this huge inequality.

    This is a good issue to postpone to November.

    Postponement will allow Democratic media to focus on the public fisc.

    Back to this again are we?

    Just because the constitution uses the word republic (small r ) this has nothing to do with the Republican party at all. You get all confused on this part, and I would venture to say you stay confused on this part because you are the one that keeps bring it up. But it a "convenient" way to demonise the Democrats because "they aren't allowed in the constitution"... So, continue on with your beliefs, but it's bullshit.

    So Mitch McConnell's state of Kentucky should never receive another dime from the Federal government. They rate very high on the list of which states gets the most federal funding above what they pay in. Many of those "Blue States" you are trying to bash pay into the Feds more than they get back... In some cases like CA and NY much, much more.

    Many Red states are just the opposite, take out more than they pay in, possibly your state. I mean if you want to play the "No more Federal funds to the states" it has to go that way to all states, not just the ones you don't like...

  16. It's a prime example of how far the federal government has expanded from its original charter. States were expected to run their own show because they demanded it after all. But the federal concept promised to be a resource when states had sudden problems. Like the dust bowl, only, the federal government didn't do shit because it was the state's "fault". The Great Depression was another example of states left to wither while the federal government stayed hidden in Washington.

    These days the fed takes fuel taxes, dumps them into a big fund, and then selectively builds highways and other infrastructure that would be tough for states to manage due to multiplying bureaucracies. But then the fed turns around and uses these funds as a way to extort states into a submissive position. And the states were never meant to be submissive to federal control. The only government plus I see from Covid is that it might expose the layers of waste and mismanagement that is our US government system.

    That's not really true. The (non)Federal Reserve was solely responsible for triggering the crash of '29 and the depression that followed. Our Federal Government, by adopting the communist ideas of centralized banking and progressively heavy income taxation, created the perfect vehicle for creating inflation and depression at will. Inflations works to their favor by raising your costs, and then your income, which places you into increasingly higher income tax brackets as you falsely appear to be making more money. Such illusory gains are slowly eaten away by the increasing rate of inflation, or your costs of living, thus leaving you with less buying power each year until now the so-called "middle class" is worse off than the so-called "poor" were before these accursed acts were passed.

    Central banking and progressive income tax are the two planks of the communist manifesto that support all of the rest of it, and every evil agenda follows on their tails. Get rid of those two and you'll destroy socialism in our republic. Fail to do so and all you're doing is blowing smoke up everyone's butthole.

    In addition, the banks themselves used to admit their part in all of this, testifying to it in a pamphlet that they put out on their own counters for all to read....if only they could step out of their complacancy long enough to do so. Those pamphlets are long-gone now, and few even know about them. The banks also admitted that the purpose of the 1929 crash and following depression was to eliminate the family farm, by which most Americans ate well. It was also the main reason for getting rid of gold and later silver. They found that, all too often, those who had a stockpile of their own gold and silver ate well and continued paying their way through the depression. Gold became illegal to possess in 1933. It wasn't until long after silver was removed that we lowly serfs (aka: citizens) were once again allowed to possess gold.

    Yeah....Washington, DC didn't stick their heads in the sand....they stuck OUR HEADS in the sand.

    I tend to agree with all the above. Those whose policies have created the problem should be told to either fix their own mess or be allowed to drown in their policy failures. Yeah, I know it will cause an incredible amount of loss and suffering for private citizens, but how do you think those idiotic policy wonks got in office in the first place? Failure will teach policy makers the consequences of their policy failures. The aftermath will teach voters the consequences of their unwise voting habits.

    Ultimately, no child ever walks, let alone runs, without first learning the consequences falling down, and no adult ever rises above their own stupidity without learning the consequences of their own failures. Let them fail.

    Worst case? Look at california now.... They're bleeding smart, talented people and businesses, as well as entrepeneurs at an alarming rate. Nobody wants to go down with a sinking ship, and nobody can legally be compelled or shamed into doing so. And where are these people going? To those states who are not as stupidly left-leaning in their policies and taxes, of course. We've all seen the same thing for the past 50 years in corporate america. They left for japan, china, thailand, mexico, and everywhere else they could find a better deal for their bottom line, as is their perfect right to do so. And you must also note that many of these people are the same ones that tell you to keep "paying your fair share" and "work 'till you drop, 'cuz you're making me richer!"

    Leftists don't follow their own policy advice because they know how bad their ideas really are. To put it another way: Their ideas and policies are so bad THEY don't even listen to it.

    Oh, we have a live one here. John Birch through and through. The U.S. is a republic, not a democracy, cuz democracy is bad and we should all wear powdered whigs, have slaves, and live just like they did in the 18th century, cuz they was wizer than us and gave us our Constey-tooshun, which they got written in stone on Mount Sinai, and we're not allowed to have a Democrat Party cuz republics is all that's allowed. Speaking of blather.
    Yes , they's commies alright, just like Eisenhower, who was taking orders from his brother Milton, his superior in the Party. Says so right here in the John Birch manual.
