[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the main reasons America is collapsing is because the wealthy can buy politicians. [/quote]

True.  When corporations became people under Citizens United, and campaign finance died, our Democracy was basically doomed.

Add in a culture which is more and more anti-education and this is where you end up.

The fact that the divide between the richest the vast majority of Americans who have little generational wealth grows wider each year due to Ronald Reagan's tax reforms, and you end up with the toxic morass of American political life today.

Let's be clear that every single one of these trends was advanced and primarily championed by Republicans.

When people say that both sides contributed to this equally that is a bald-faced lie.[/quote]

100%. And now the Trump admin has stopped cracking down on tax shelter for the rich and major corporations: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/09/business/trump-irs-tax-shelters.html

So, rich just get richer. US corporations can avoid paying more in taxes. Guess who is left holding the bag? the rest of us. [/quote]

It’s most definitely the worst administration in history, and if trump gets his way, the last.[/quote]
