Cliff notes anyone?

[iamgine]

There are some reasonably bright people he talked to but many of these people are really bang your head on a wall stupid. Almost down syndrome-ish.

Occupy :lol

Yeah that shit was a massive cringe orgy.

[bladefd]

1) Peter, I am trying to keep a roof over my head and food in my belly. You are trying to decide whether to buy a 4th mansion or a new private jet. How are your problems and my issues in the same universe?

2) Peter, the 3 richest Americans (Bezos, Gates, Buffett) combined have more wealth than 50% of the country. More than half of the country lives paycheck to paycheck. More than half the country has no money in bank savings for emergency medical bill. How are we not in crisis as a country when it comes to wealth inequality? Why are the wealthiest people getting needless taxcuts and why do corporations like Amazon continue to get to use loopholes to skip taxes?

3) Peter, millions go bankrupt each year over healthcare. Big pharma+insurance companies profit tens of billions each year off sick people. Medical costs keep climbing each year in premiums, deductibles, co-pays. The middle-class is sinking further and further in medical bills, which keep rising. How is that not a major issue?

4) Peter, the military spending is $750bn/yr. Why do they have a blank check to throw away and spend as much as they want while driving up the debt? Energy companies & other corporations like Trump Organization spend billions each year lobbying to buy off politicians. Why the hell are you not out there protesting waste & corruption with the rest of us?

5) Peter, if the government is completely out of the way like you claim would solve all the issues, who is going to oversee the thugs & con-artists across the US and on Wall Street like Donald Trump? Agencies like the SEC, FDA and EPA oversees these thugs.

1) It was never suggested that your personal problems were the same as his.

2) First, several posters on this forum have more wealth than 55,000,000 Americans combined and more than 2,000,000,000 people combined. Oh no?

Second, Bezos, Gates, and Buffett have improved more lives in the world than you, and even if you liquidated their assets, you'd be able to give everyone like $20. And yes, there are major problems with the tax code: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drVgpTfJYMQ

3) The Federal Department of Big Pharma, Federal Department of Big Insurance, Obamacare, Medicare, Medicaid, etc and all the laws and regulations are an issue. The federal gov't needs to stop protecting big pharma, big insurance, and stop dumping all the costs on the middle class, while giving huge money to big pharma and big insurance.

4) Indeed, Trump donated big money to Democrats to get building permits in New York. Stop giving so much money and power to politicians in the first place.
