Except that, under the MagaDonor Relief Act of 2017, we are taking from the poor (in terms of services) and giving to the rich (tax breaks). And driving the country to bankruptcy in the process. While ignoring every real problem we have in a buffoonish crusade to save this immoral president. Thanks, republicans.
It’s cyclic. But there are epicycles, hyper-epicycles and for all I know meta-cycles. When the rich get so powerful that there’s no other option, they’ll be taken down by the 99%…or perhaps more likely by a foreign hostile takeover. Then it’ll start all over.
If a person has too many cats or old newspapers or whatever, we recognize that they’re in need of some mental health intervention. But for some reason, we don’t seem to realize that for money.
One of these days we’ll figure out how to do it right. By then the rich who are robbed will deserve it more than in all of history. Alternately, the more enlightened rich might just figure out how to give their workers an adequate share of the wealth they create, and a truly benevolent ruling class will come about – not out of any kind of altruism, but rather practicality born of seeing the bigger picture.

It’s called communism. Then the leaders wear drab clothes and pretend they aren’t rich or running things.

Sometimes a few drops trickle down to the masses from the fire hoses of money being sprayed at the rich.

Remember we are living in the Big Brother Era. Big Brother knows what is best for us. What is best for us is whatever is best for Big Brother.
The truth is not the truth and don’t believe what is happening.

He actually robbed from the government and gave back to the people their own money that the government stole.

Everybody. Remember to say now that you’re seeking social justice. It just sounds so righteous. Useless but really earnest.

Remember that every time a package gets smaller and the price stays the same or goes up a CEO gets a bigger bonus.
