20 Jan 2025 -- The Second Gilded Age Is About To Begin

[DukeU]

You want tax cuts for billionaires....because you are a worthless MAGA white trash peasant SUCKER.

It is literally that simple.

Nope.

YOU want to steal their money.

You want tax cuts for billionaires....because you are a worthless MAGA white trash peasant SUCKER.

It is literally that simple.

You act like the left has no billionaire class of its own, and that it doesn't cater to their whims.

They gonna git you sucka!

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

Why didn't Clinton, Obama and Biden fix things?

Republicans wouldn't let them...and your peasant white trash sucker ass didn't want them to, anyway.

The biggest middle class tax cuts in this country's history occurred with Obama....that is a FACT.

You vote against your best interest every election....because you are a SUCKER.

 

[TemplarKormac]

The biggest middle class tax cuts in this country's history occurred with Obama....that is a FACT.

Gee, you might want to tell them that happened. Cause it pretty much didn't happen the way you think it did.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

Nope.

YOU want to steal their money.

Pathetic white trash peasant...protecting the wealth of billionaires.

They scorn you, pity you, and laugh at you. Fucking imbecile.

What is simple is that democrats had their 4-years with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and failed miserably.

Only the very low-IQ leftists still support policies that made groceries unaffordable, the streets and subways unsafe, and millions of illegals living in luxury hotels getting free food.

We'll soon see whose policies work better for the middle class. It is literally that simple.

Aww, poor helpless, useless demtwats.
Clinton had majorities in the House and Senate, didn't do it.
Obama had majorities in the House and Senate, didn't do it.
Biden had majorities in the House and Senate, didn't do it.

Leave it to the great Eugene Robinson to lay it all out in the simplest terms.

MAGA imbeciles pretend that they are concerned about the "Deep State". However, the "Deep State" will be in full view during the inauguration tomorrow...they are all the Putin-like billionaire oligarchs supporting Donald Trump for the next 4 years.

Working class Trump supporters are serfs from the Middle Ages -- it is their peasant duty to protect the wealth of their rich Repug feudal masters.

After all, rich Repugs like Trump and Musk are their intellectual and moral superiors....they simply have no choice in the matter. SUCKERS, all of them.

Eugene Robinson from the Washington Post. --

Some citizens of this republic will see Donald Trump’s second inauguration as a glorious new beginning; others will see it as a dispiriting surrender to the nation’s worst tendencies. Many commentators will surely conclude that this uncommonly frigid Monday in Washington defines the past decade, for better or worse, as the Trump Era.

Historians, however, might view Trump’s swearing-in through a wider lens: Jan. 20, 2025, could well be remembered as the apotheosis of a Second Gilded Age.

The times we live in echo the original Gilded Age, roughly from 1870 to 1900. Now, as then, wealth is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a very few. According to the St. Louis Federal Reserve, the richest 1 percent of Americans hold about 31 percent of the nation’s total wealth — up from 23 percent in 1990. The bottom 50 percent hold just 2.4 percent of total wealth.

Let me repeat: The net worth of fully half of the U.S. population, in the aggregate, is just a tiny fraction of the net worth of the top 1 percent.

I find it hard to believe that trump supporters haven't figured it out yet that they've been conned.Some have but how on earth can so many be this dense.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

When Obama extended the Bush middle class tax cuts? DURR

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

Aww, poor helpless, useless demtwats.
Clinton had majorities in the House and Senate, didn't do it.
Obama had majorities in the House and Senate, didn't do it.
Biden had majorities in the House and Senate, didn't do it.

So you are now in favor of getting rid of the filibuster, Kleetus? Didn't think so.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

When Obama extended the Bush middle class tax cuts? DURR

Nope. Wrong again, fucktard.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

I find it hard to believe that trump supporters haven't figured it out yet that they've been conned.Some have but how on earth can so many be this dense.

I'm not sure that they care. I think these white trash gomers don't mind getting fucked up the ass good and hard by Trump and his billionaires....as long as they can still "own the libs".

Whatever the fuck that means.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

So you are now in favor of getting rid of the filibuster, Kleetus? Didn't think so.

Biden tried, really hard, to tax billionaires, but the Republicans filibustered it?

Have you always been such a stupid twat?

Sure, let's kill the filibuster tomorrow.

 

[BluesLegend]

I'm thinking of a number...312 bitches!

 

[DukeU]

Pathetic white trash peasant...protecting the wealth of billionaires.

They scorn you, pity you, and laugh at you. Fucking imbecile.

You're struggling I see.

Take a deep breath, life goes on.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Nope. Wrong again, fucktard.

Tell me more about this Obama tax cut.
What were the tax rates before his cut?
What were the tax rates after his cut?

Post the numbers you stupid twat.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

Biden tried, really hard, to tax billionaires, but the Republicans filibustered it?

Of course they did, white trash. How stupid are you???

Who are Joe Biden’s top 10 biggest billionaire donors?

The president likes to criticise Trump for being too cozy with his fellow billionaires. But Biden’s biggest backers are worth roughly $170 billion—more than triple the collective net worth of Trump’s top tycoons.

The Democrats are the party of billionaires.
