What's new? Those that have shitloads of money make the rules... they help write the tax code too. It won't change under either party.

lmao ... They haven't taken over the democrat party yet?

Progressives have been in charge for years. Just look at the beautiful cities of Seattle, Chicago, San Fran and New York. Now that's progress ...

The leaders of the democratic party...pelosi and Schumer are not progressives...

Neoliberalism and progressivism are not the same. 

So no. They have not taken over the democratic party yet.

Wanna look at Republican led cities?? Where there are no good paying jobs, a lot of people on welfare, poor health care facilities, poor educational opportunities.  Republicans only rule the sticks. And if there IS a Republican led big city, it'll have all the same problems that democratic run big cities have. This whole line of reasoning that the stupid right keeps trying to purport is simply ignorant

Progressives have been there for years, but by a different name. Back then they were called Marxists or Communists

I'm not a republican. However, I would have to say that republican led states are in much better shape than those led by democrats.

As I've said countless times to you, the system as a whole is the reason this country is in the shape it's in. And it is that very system that made it possible for someone like RGB to serve on the supreme court until her death at 87 years old. She wasn't there to uphold the Constitution, she was there to dismantle it. Just like countless other Judges and politicians that came before her.

If ‘Democrat-run’ cities are a problem, what about costly GOP-run states?

If there was one clear theme to emerge from the Republican National Convention, it was President Donald Trump’s firmly-held belief that whatever ails American cities is the fault of Democratic control. In some ways, his attack last year on Baltimore as “disgusting, rat and rodent infested” was just a warm-up. Now, he’s calling himself the “law and order” candidate and in his acceptance speech vowed to crack down on “rioting, looting, arson and violence we have seen in Democrat-run cities.” In other words, he is pursuing just another variation on his long-running, pre-COVID-19 narrative that none of the problems facing cities stems from systemic racism or police misconduct or concentrated poverty or the war on drugs or the neglect of cities by the federal government, it’s all because the various mayors and council members have a “D” after their names. To put it even more simply, one-party rule is the cause of bad outcomes, not extenuating circumstances or even gun-toting counter-protesting teens itching for a fight.

That’s a convenient point of view for a Republican president seeking reelection at a time of national calamity and personal failure. If President Trump has a skill, it’s distracting his followers and shifting blame away from himself. The convenience of this viewpoint is clear: It allows him not to talk against racism but to spout it and even encourages his core supporters, the white working class, to see themselves as victims. But there’s also one serious flaw in his strategy. Somebody is bound to notice at some point that if party affiliation is the sole or even primary cause of bad outcomes, the Grand Old Party has some serious explaining to do of its own.

What states have produced the least educated populace? That would be Mississippi and West Virginia. They are governed by Republicans. Which has the greatest percentage of people living below the poverty line? There is Mississippi again. Mississippi hasn’t had a Democratic governor in two decades. Alabama, Arkansas, South Dakota, Oklahoma, that’s not just a list of states where the GOP has a lock on statewide elected office, it also happens to be a partial list of states with the highest infant mortality rates. You name the measure of prosperity, education, health and well-being and chances are a state with a Republican governor and usually a Republican-controlled legislature have the worst outcomes.

And here’s what really ought to get those conservative wags fuming. It’s not just that these “red” states are failing, it’s that they are taking in federal tax dollars much faster than their “blue” counterparts. Earlier this summer, the website WalletHub did a study of states based on how much they collectively pay in federal taxes versus how much they receive in return in the form of federal aid. What states are running the biggest deficits (getting far more out of Uncle Sam then they give)? The top 10 include Mississippi (of course), West Virginia, Alaska, South Carolina, Indiana, Arizona and Wyoming. All have Republican governors and Republican-controlled state legislatures. Just three on that list, New Mexico, Montana and Kentucky, have a Democratic governor (with Montana and Kentucky having GOP-controlled legislative branches).

Oh really?

How did we get the federal reserve (not really federal, and no reserves), or the income tax? How about property taxes? or the death tax? I know there's more, but to tired to go on.

I'm going to have to take a look at the communist manifesto, and see just how far these progressive/marxists you're so enamored with have gotten.

What people really need to understand is that dollar is collapsing fast, and they better prepare. How many politicians from either side, are talking about this?

They all distract, both sides, It's the system. What do you think the corona hoax was/is for? And then there's 5G thing, that they conveniently slipped through the cracks without any testing. And all under the convenient cover of KAOS.

Thanks to both sides of the isle, this country is broke. And they continue to spend money that we don't have. Where's that going to get us? And why don't the majority recognize this? Because they are easily distracted, and have no clue what a fiat currency is and what it does to a country.

These people do not work for us, and they don't represent us. And that includes Ruth.

So, people being safer on the streets in Republican run cities doesn’t count? If it came down to it, and it might, I would rather live in a broke Republican run state, than in a broke Democrat state ... it’s safer.

This country is in a severe debt crisis, where all they want to do is break the back of the dollar.  Does it really matter which state is in more debt, when they all have the same goal?
