To the well to do in this country-where is your loyality and responsibly to this country?



Park their profits out of the US to avoid taxes-the middle class has to take up the slack which leads to resenting the poor and not solving the problem
Many of the well to do have homes outside the US in fear of a depression and/or revolt
Hiring foreigners instead of US citizens with the excuse that US labor is not educated enough to meet the job requirement
well how do you suppose that happened? Because US labor is lazy/stupid? How about lack of a decent education to meet these requirements? Oh, I see that takes money (taxes).
Selling off public lands which was never allowed in the 50's and 60's-who is profiting from this? Common man ask yourself this question, do some research or remain subject to manipulation.

I'll bet some of the older DUers could list more things than I have.

Seriously, capitalism can never work, especially in the 21st Century and beyond. Ban it now.

Without republican extremists to muck it up, communism is actually far more civilized than the anarchistic claptrap that passes for "freedom."

Just heard about another North Korea missile test. It crossed my mind that I wouldn't be surprised for some enterprising American to help upgrade the NK missile program for a hefty fee.

After all, look at the number of trumpinistas willing to sell out their country for a buck.
