Sure we can. We just can't have both, while the 1% hoards 80% of the wealth of our country. We can have universal Healthcare, paid parental leave, and free higher education too. Other countries manage it. We choose not to because the billionaires need more yatchs.

We need to flatten the tax code to where you actually have to pay for something instead of thinking you have a right to everyone else's property.

You can't earn 1 billion dollars. Why justify that kind of wealth hoarding?

Because I don't lead a life of jealousy, I realize billionaires don't have stacks of cash sitting in a vault but rather have it out circulating in the economy to create jobs, and I'm not ignorant like 50% of the population who don't have a pot to piss in. Got it?

I recognize your postings.
You have some of the worst takes on this forum. Some real stinkers.
Merry Christmas.

Why doesn't everyone just eat Costco hotdogs three times a day? Problem solved!

So you think there is some grand conspiracy? If it was gouging, a secondarily player would undercut the competition and make a ton of money. The fact that no one has means that the inputs all cost more which is reflected in prices. Joe did that

Joe did what?

"After reaching legal resolutions with 15 major chicken producers and four big tuna companies — all accused of inflating and manipulating prices — Ferguson’s office is now returning $40.6 million in restitution to approximately 402,200 low-income Washington households.

Ferguson filed a lawsuit against 19 chicken producers — who account for approximately 95% of chickens sold for consumption in the U.S. — in 2021, accusing them of engaging in a wide-ranging illegal conspiracy to inflate and manipulate prices, rig contract bids and coordinate industry supply reductions to maximize profits.

At the time, he commented: “If you’ve eaten chicken in the last decade, this conspiracy touched your wallet. This conspiracy cost middle-class and low-income Washington families more money to put food on their table. I will hold these companies accountable for the profits they illegally made off the backs of hardworking Washington families.”

Washington also won $5.1 million from similar cases against big tuna companies — including a a $4.1 million resolution with StarKist, a $500,000 resolution with Chicken of the Sea, a $100,000 resolution with former Bumble Bee Tuna CEO Christopher Lischewski, and $450,000 in sanctions against StarKist’s parent company, Dongwon."

Prove me wrong.

We wouldn't have the same economy, because he doesn't believe in the same things this administration believes in.

He's a businessman. He KNOWS that side of the equation. Has Biden ever had a private job outside of government in his life?

Has Trump ever had a business that didn't fail or fall under scrutiny for unethical practices? Why no, he did not. The track record of his businesses is really awful. How many times has he declared bankruptcy? You know why he is a millionaire? Because he sold his name to others' businesses. That's about the only thing he knows how to do. Hawk his name.

Trump never had a political job before being president and it showed, painfully.

Too bad for him his name is now kryptonite for more than half the country who would never spend money on something that carries it.

Here's a list of properties that have dumped the trump name, from 2019 so probably more now: https://www.forbes.com/sites/lisettevoytko/2019/10/23/heres-every-trump-property-thats-dropped-his-name/?sh=20c60c313571
