Now THERE'S a platform for dependents to get your arms around, by god!!!
** 'dependent' being an all-encompassing group of losers, clingers, rely-ers, lessers, apron-stringers, sustainees, accessories, etc.....and dependents.
I did see a sign about billionaires, those guys who will deliver anything to your front door in 18 hours, who create thousands and thousands of jobs and thousands more in this country......and , who exhibit the producers of the things in that package at your door!!!! Strip The Billionaires Down To Their Underwear!!!
@AverageJoe1 saidIt must have been terrible when there weren't any billionaires with nobody working at all.

@no1marauder saidI get you...many many decades ago, but I am not saying that society 'needs' billionaires to function, it was OK back then.

But, but, billionaires are a by-product of a system that produces jobs and goods. I mean, people worked before billionaires existed. We've evolved? Like, TODAY's system allows people to build large successful companies,, which benefit a lot of other people. You seem to be on board with tearing down the system that produces such growth. I Truly Do Not Get You. You attack the outcome w/o acknowledging the benefits. Quite one-sided. Now you have me teaching economics (which i used to) like you try to teach law.
in short, people worked before billionaires. But they were also poor and had few opportunities and less access to goods. So answer me this; does not the system that create billionaires improve life overall?
I predict that you will never be able to tell us exactly what you disgruntled people want, other than OPM. You will always want that, but what in the hell else? Us? We just want you all to leave us alone, and to rely on yourselves.

@AverageJoe1 saidI thought you people were trying to make American great again not change it into something new. Trump idolizing Andrew Jackson and gunboat diplomacy and all that.

@AverageJoe1 saidThere were HUNDREDS of thousands of folks who did just that, protested. but OF COURSE you will just jump on the Trumpwagon, ALL PAID by SOROS. Which is personally insulting.

Don't forget the EIGHT MILLION who protested a few days ago.
As far as billionaires go, you figure nothing wrong with ONE person becoming the worlds first TRILLIONAIRE, imagine buckets each with ONE BILLION dollars in it, Trump has near one THOUSAND of those buckets, some 800 BILLION now.
You have to know Musk is a sociopath and cares NOTHING about common folk only in ONE thing, HOW MUCH MONEY CAN I MAKE ON THIS DEAL. JUST LIKE TRUMP.
@sonhouse saidHere is Soros buying your party.

Based on Federal Election Commission filings for early 2026, George Soros was identified as a top donor backing Democratic super PACs for the 2026 midterms, with early reports indicating he gave $50 million to his Democracy PAC, according to a Forbes article published on
Is he one of the billionaires that Marauder wants to cut the legs out from under?
What about Robert De Niro, Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift, all these people might give much money and you never mention them. Please mention them. Thankyou.
Why do marauder and Sue and everybody annd wildgrass and so forth lambast the billionaires but never do lambast Soros? What billionaire gives the most money to campaigns? Could it be one of our Republicans or one of our entertainers?😂😂😂
@AverageJoe1 saidWow, so how many protesters would get that 50 million? So about 10 million people protesting, so they are going to be motivated by Soros getting five bucks each?

Can you answer my languishing wquestoin, it woujld sure give me some insight.
A simple man in his garage, invents a pill which increases longevity by 20 years, everyone wants to buy it and he makes $50 billion in three months.
What is the philosophy of you and other liberals on this? How would forum respond to something like that if it were in the news today? Would you want his pill, or would you want his money, or would you want both?
@AverageJoe1 saidAre you a billionaire Joe? Do you feel underloved and underappreciated?

@AverageJoe1 saidExactly why should I care about someone making money? We CARE about those folks NEVER paying the same tax rate as us. THAT is what we care about, because it means a billionaire is AUTOMATICALLY in a different tax bracket and would be lucky to pay 3% or nothing, but you don't want to talk about that, your deal is YOU think WE think the class of billionaires are no good, and such, it is what they DO with that money.
well.....yes..

For instance I personally HATE Elon Musk, may be a genius and all like that but when he killed USAID and don't EVEN go MASSIVE fraud, the ONLY reason USAID was killed was Musk HATED it because it was part of the effort to end Apartheid and he was PISSED when he was no longer top white kid.
When the opportunity came it was Musk AND HIS CHILDREN who killed USAID, one of the darkest episodes in US history, right up there with the Japanese internment camps in WW2 or attacks on blacks on that bridge. The end of USAID meant now the deaths from starvation is up to a quarter million DEAD CHILDREN 100% because of Trump and Musk.
And Presidents are not supposed to add to their wealth BECAUSE he is POTUS, but now Trump has LITERALLY TRIPPLED his wealth to more than he EVER had before being POTUS, CORRUPTION LITERALLY OUT IN THE OPEN and YOU and your ultrarightwingnut ASSSHOLES don't give a rats ass how much corruption goes on, it is endemic in every aspect of our government now and all you can do is screech out how GREAT our economy is REPUKING the PUKE Trump spits out EVERY DAY.
I guess you figure we are all just WAY too STUPID to see what is going on and you CLEARLY KNOW there is massive corruption and you don't FKING CARE, all you want is for Trump to complete his drive to full dictatorship and YOU will get a GREAT job because your head is firmly up Trumps ass and will remain their till Trump is in prison.
All you do is go WELL LOOK AT BIDEN, he made money from the Chinese when you FKING IGNORE Trump taking in LITERALLY BILLIONS AND BTW ILLEGALLY because of the emoluments clause but you don't care about that either since for you Trump is not only above the law but for you above EVERYTHING ELSE in the US and it matters ZERO how many people ICE kills and don't EVEN go THE GOOD FAMILY ARE TERRORISTS because she RAN DOWN an ICE agent with is TOTAL BS, just another government coverup, pave it over, nothing to see here.

@sonhouse saidI asked you about one issue, so your response is useless, unreadable and wrong in many ways. For one thing it says tripling of wealth of Trump, and you purport to know reasoning of Musk?!?!?!? You expect a response which would be based on your statements.? Am I right? Could you be wrong, would my responses be wrong, I could be playing golf, for god sake. A waste of time, don't you see.
Exactly why should I care about someone making money? We CARE about those folks NEVER paying the same tax rate as us.

So, back to my issue,. Your friends keep saying we should get money from the billionaires, I guess Musk and Bezos are at the top of the list.
Right now, without the 'tax breaks'**, the new billionaire at $50,000,000,000, has to pay 40% in tax.....that would be $20,000,000,000, leaving him with $30,000,000,000.
Do you think that after he pays the $20B. that he should pay more??
How much more?
** You could do another thread on why there are 'tax breaks, why that is unfair, why does congtress think rich producers should get tax breaks?
