@wildgrass [i]sI find this a curious statement for a lib…..is not your ‘ideal’ society one of equality, where everyone would be the same? You have eschewed some having more assets than others in previous posts. It would follow, in your words, the society would be boring, leading to no creativity or societal advancement, no going to Mars.
Harvard would be an extremely boring place if everyone enrolled was the same.
Just this week, no one has answered my simple question, that, would it be acceptable for a rich man to own six vacation homes and several cars when it is only he and his wife?
Very telling indeed

No one answered your question because it's dumb.
@wildgrass saidNo, it is inconvenient. To say yes would skew your philosophy,.. to say no would suggest a Big Brother, or father for that matter, society.
I'm not a lib.

The Tell: You do not simply say that it is OK for someone to own anything he would like to own...as if to say he needs,,,,uhh, permission? From whom? Marauder?
Really, instead of your response above, why not just say yes or no? Why not? What holds you libs back from being straightforward, forthright, such as that.? To NOT answer discloses your lib bent.
@AverageJoe1 saidTrump only gave permission to own a maximum of five pencils.

@AThousandYoung saidYeah, you and Sue and King Moses hd trouble with that one.

It was a metaphor of such to say that we all have to tighten our belts until the economy turns around, a tough one to understand, I know.
I followed through and sold one of my vacation homes, dammit. But it is for the good of the cause. So, what did you do to help?
@AverageJoe1 saidNo, YOU got a huge tax cut.
Yeah, you and Sue and King Moses hd trouble with that one.

@mike69 saidSo from your perspective, you are agreeing with the interviewer, that white privilege and institutionalized racism does not exist?
You pick the smallest easiest hill of an example and go after it while overlooking the mountain of truth. Useful ilib idiot, yes you are. These were lazily, quickly found, 1000 pages could be filled.
Tell me more!
@AverageJoe1 saidYep, tighten our belts because of the economic downturn CAUSED BY TRUMP.
Yeah, you and Sue and King Moses hd trouble with that one.

BTW, here is a detailed analysis of that POS so called 'Beautiful bill'
Detailed Analysis:
Medicaid Cuts:
Federal Spending Reductions:
The bill proposes substantial cuts to federal Medicaid spending, potentially leading to a reduction of over $700 billion over the next decade.
Impact on Coverage:
These cuts could lead to millions losing Medicaid coverage, particularly those who rely on the program for long-term care and other essential services.
State Impacts:
States may have to make difficult choices about how to offset the loss of federal funding, which could include raising taxes, cutting other state programs, or reducing Medicaid benefits.
Provider Network:
States may be less able to draw on federal revenue sources, potentially leading to cuts in provider payments and reduced access to care.
Long-Term Services:
The cuts could negatively impact long-term services and supports for seniors and people with disabilities, including those in nursing homes and those receiving home-based care.
SNAP Cuts:
Eligibility Changes:
The bill includes provisions that could result in 3.2 million adults being removed from SNAP eligibility, including older adults, parents of school-aged children, and adults in areas with insufficient jobs.
Household Impact:
When adults are cut off SNAP, their entire households receive reduced food benefits, increasing the risk of hunger for children, people with disabilities, and seniors.
Federal Funding:
The bill includes provisions that could increase the cost of administering SNAP for states, potentially straining state budgets.
State Options:
States may have fewer options to offset the costs of SNAP if the proposed changes are approved, potentially leading to a reliance on cuts to other programs or even opting out of the program.
Food Insecurity:
Deep SNAP cuts could worsen food insecurity, potentially leading to negative impacts on health and economic outcomes.
Overall Impact:
Job Losses:
.
The combined impact of Medicaid and SNAP cuts could lead to a significant loss of jobs, particularly in healthcare and food-related industries.
Economic Impact:
.
The cuts could result in a decline in state GDPs and lost state and local tax revenue.
Health Outcomes:
.
Reduced access to healthcare and food assistance could have negative impacts on health outcomes, particularly for vulnerable populations.
Children of Color:
.
Children of color are disproportionately affected by the proposed cuts to Medicaid and SNAP.
Disproportionate Impact on Low-Income Families:
.
The cuts could substantially reduce incomes for families in the bottom 40% of the income distribution.
