Eh, the billionaire class pays taxes. Half the country on the DNC voter rolls, not so much.

No, you're talking about the billionaire class and corporate America.

I feel like all the conversation about policy minutiae (is climate change real? how do we fund high-risk pools?) are completely pointless, because the decisions are driven by cost-cutting for business and the possiblity of lower taxes for very rich people.

Let's just get it out in the open.


because it seems like the entire educated elite class has abandoned ethics for greed, the fight is not democrat or republican.

The few managers at my current company, that I know well, are polished liars, devoid of normal human emotion. In fact the key to success is the ability to keep a poker face while lying to employees.

That's just it. I don't understand why they bother with the "spin" and the "talking points" anymore. Seems like they get elected no matter what. Let's just say openly that our government is in the business of maximizing profit.

You're right. We're all focused on the horror this would potentially wreak on our lives that no one has the energy to see that the GOP is a bunch of lizard slugs.

I hope the Mercers and Kochs rot in stinking hell.

The Trump brand has always been about proud greed and our country somehow picked him to lead. Apparently, a lot of Americans are totally impressed by greed so they're fine with this platform too.


Because they naively think they can grow up to be a rich dork just like Trump. Except, they aren't starting out born with a silver spoon in their mouths, college paid by daddy and a multimillion dollar real estate empire just handed to them.

It IS in the open. I remember when people were calling GWB a regular ole guy. Yet, I don't have a single friend who owned a sports franchise. The GOP offer low-hanging fruit, and the masses eat it up. (I say that because Kerry was demonized for having money.)

What does insisting that a person wasn't born in the U.S. have to do with racism?
