The largest transfer of wealth in the history of the world...

[francoHFW]

The great transfer isn’t from capitalism, it is from government. Subsidies, wealth transfers from government laws, that is the reason for the transfer.

Capitalism has never existed without government.
Markets, money, and corporations are all state creations.
Capitalism generates the money that bribes corrupt politicians for the politically constructed laws and institutions that structure economic activity in this society. Reforming government starts with replacing capitalism.

Congratulations, you just lost everyone. Well regulated capitalism with a good safety net and always Democratic is socialism everywhere but the United States and England. The Savage capitalists of the world.... Only the English speaking world is so confused about the difference between socialism and communism and capitalism for that matter. The difference is called democracy. What are you for then for crying out loud? It's easy to be negative about everything.

Yep, the government created the problem. By officials taking bribes. The political system is broke, we need to rid our selves of the two corrupt parties.

That few know about, thanks to a billionaire/government controlled corporate media.

Are not the following words depressingly true?

The Institute for Policy Studies has just released a new analysis showing that since the start of the Covid-19 “pandemic” in mid-March and the subsequent transfer upwards of $5 trillion to the wealthy and largest corporations through the Cares Act, approved 96-0 in the U.S. Senate, 650 U.S. billionaires have gained over a trillion dollars in eight months as the America people have suffered an economic catastrophe. This shift upward of massive wealth under Trump is similar to Obama’s massive 2009 bailout of the banks on the backs of American workers. Both were justified through feats of legerdemain by both political parties, accomplices in the fleecing of regular people, many of whom continue to support the politicians that screw them while telling them they care.

If the Democrats and the Republicans are at war as is often claimed, it is only over who gets the larger part of the spoils. Trump and Biden work for the same bosses, those I call the Umbrella People (those who own and run the country through their intelligence/military/media operatives), who produce and direct the movie that keeps so many Americans on the edge of their seats in the hope that their chosen good guy wins in the end.
The Past Lives On: The Elite Strategy To Divide and Conquer – Edward Curtin

Of course the bailout of the banks was tarp under George w bush and the GOP who caused the great recession with their usual corrupt deregulation bubble and bust. Great job! Obama stimulus was for main Street and worked great except it was probably too small. Little did they know they would be up against total ridiculous GOP obstruction for 8 years.... Change the channel

The blind partisan.

The only two parties in power since before the 1900s have been Republicans and Democrats. They have both written and passed laws that have hurt the American workers, yet partisans are still blind and unwilling to admit their party is 50% responsible, this attitude just leads to the problem getting worse.

Exactly right. These damn fool partisans are the reason why have had corrupt people in power. Yet they are too feeble minded to recognize this.

Try the real world sometime. the only people in prison for governmental corruption are Republicans. All your phony scandals against Democrats are pure balderdash. All of them!

 

[francoHFW]

Take responsibility, earn your own wealth don't pray these idiot politicians are going to gift you someone else's wealth.

Democrats want the rich to pay their fair share again so that we can invest in America and Americans again, brainwashed functional moron. Thanks for the worst inequality and upward mobility ever anywhere....

Great stuff except for the 45 years... It's been 38 years of GOP giveaway to the rich. Not Carter . Unless you know something I don't know...

Carter made cautious attempts at deregulating trucking and the airlines during his term. The power of organized labor was showing decline; although, it was Reagan who finished off that threat. Ralph Nader has stated it was the mid-1970s when elite elected Democrats stopped returning his calls.

The Politics of Privatization: How Neoliberalism Took Over US Politics

"Traditionally, Democrats had relied on unions as a critical source of both campaign donations and organizational support. With union strength declining (a trend the Reagan administration encouraged through policy), the Democrats were being totally outgunned. According to Jacob S. Hacker and Paul Pierson's book 'Winner-Take-All Politics':

"'From the late 1970s to the late 1980s, corporate PACS [political action committees] increased their expenditures in congressional races nearly five fold. Labor spending only rose about half as fast...By 1980, unions accounted for less than a quarter of all PAC donations—down from half six years earlier.'"

What? Now you're talking about tax cuts?

How did tax cuts take money out of the pockets of ordinary Americans? Please explain.

If I'm bribing pliant politicians to reduce my taxes and you are not, my income is rising and yours isn't.

The Top 1% of Americans Have Taken $50 Trillion From the Bottom 90%—And That's Made the U.S. Less Secure

"According to a groundbreaking new working paper by Carter C. Price and Kathryn Edwards of the RAND Corporation, had the more equitable income distributions of the three decades following World War II (1945 through 1974) merely held steady, the aggregate annual income of Americans earning below the 90th percentile would have been $2.5 trillion higher in the year 2018 alone.

"That is an amount equal to nearly 12 percent of GDP—enough to more than double median income—enough to pay every single working American in the bottom nine deciles an additional $1,144 a month.

"Every month.

"Every single year."

Only the English speaking world is so confused about the difference between socialism and communism and capitalism for that matter. The difference is called democracy. What are you for then for crying out loud? It's easy to be negative about everything.

We agree about the importance of democracy.
I see capitalism as the latest example of dividing society into two conflicting cohorts.
Slavery had masters and slaves.
Feudalism offered lords and serfs.
Capitalism gives us owners and workers.
All three economic systems divided society into two warring factions with a small minority holding most of the power
Real change begins in the workplaces where most adults spend two-thirds of their waking hours.

Yes, We Can do Better Than Capitalism

"What defines such a post-capitalist economic system is that employers and employees merge into one.

"Individually, each is an employee.

"Collectively, all employees comprise the employer.

"Each employee/employer has an equal voice in democratic business decisions governing what, how, and where production occurs and what is done with the net revenues."

US Billionaires Surpass $1 Trillion in Wealth Gains During Pandemic as Essential Workers and Others Suffer
The total wealth gain of America’s billionaires has surpassed the $1 trillion mark, a 34 Percent rise since mid-March, the approximate start of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to new analysis by the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS). With the close of the markets on November 24, 2020, US...

I myself have gotten richer from Corona. I invested $20,000 in the stock market in June and it's $26,000 now. Better than the 1% you're getting on that CD you purchased.

There it is again. Someone who only considers himself, ignoring all the suffering of others. It must be some kind of common mental disease.

Republicans have taught me we are not in this together it’s every man for himself.

What do you want to do about the wealth gap, regulate? Tax me?

How is that any different than.

Wednesday, November 25, 2020
Brain surgeons and ER doctors absolutely KILL IT while burger flippers and baristas do not.

I'm failing to see the "wealth transfer".....please enlighten us.
Are you trying to say you don't think people should be responsible for choosing their own career paths and the financial status comes with said paths?
I'm sure I'm missing something simple...teach us.

If your system that you call capitalism is failing the masses and only benefiting the top 1% maybe it's just another ISM.

"Failing" is subjective.
How is capitalism "FAILING" the masses?
Isn't Democrat policy "failing the masses"....aren't you begging illegals to invade, hold wages down, steal American jobs and ruin blue collar trades?
Are core Americans fleeing to countries that have it so much better?
Why are the worlds most desperate still trying to break in to our country?

Aren’t you ignoring our real problem? Illegal employers? Why do you defend them?

In fact deep into trumps presidency he himself was an illegal employer at Mara lago. He had to it was making him look bad. He didn’t want to, he had to.

you’re being played going after illegals and trying to build walls you know won’t work.

Youre being played.

Illegal employers are definitely a problem...We should hang every one of them in public...BUT, inclusive, tolerant FEELZ based LefTards cry like a ***** when iCE raids businesses...remember?
Here in Mexifornia, the ******* capital of America, millions of illegals work for legal cousin Gustavo or brother in law Miguel off the books at their tire shop or tree trimming enterprise.
Admit it, your tard buddies do not want illegal immigration solved...they know it has led to electoral Dem ownership of Mexifornia, NM, AZ, NV and eventually Texas. You're being played.

You raided the business and didn’t do anything to the businesses. You accepted their excuse that they were given fake documents. They knew they were illegals.

Illegals don’t vote. Doesn’t help us electorally.

We should also keep in mind the role of the Federal Reserve in protecting the right of a small minority to become endlessly richer:

House Hearing: Wall Street Gets Bailed Out by Fed; Main Street Gets Sold Out

"The Federal Reserve’s mandate for the past 107 years has been to be the lender of last resort to commercial banks in order to allow those banks to make loans to businesses and consumers to create a thriving U.S. economy.

"The mandate of the Fed has never been to be the lender of last resort to the trading houses on Wall Street to bail out their reckless speculations.

"But that is exactly what the Fed did secretly from December 2007 to the middle of 2010.

"The Fed then battled in court for years to keep its outrageous hubris a secret from the American people after being sued by the business media for the details of its lending programs.

"Only in 2011, after the Fed lost its court battles and Senator Bernie Sanders and others tacked an amendment on to the Dodd-Frank Act requiring a GAO audit of the Fed’s emergency lending programs did the public finally learn the truth."

Ready for the bad news?
It is happening all over again with a different Goldman Sachs alum in charge of the US Treasury.

To the choir thou art preaching.

The Fed is the biggest government scam in world history, second only to the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election.

The super-elite rich bastards really didn't like what Trump was doing with their power structure. It's likely the reason they killed JFK.

You seem to forget how many blacks trump pissed off and drove them to the polls.

Don’t you think trump could run and win as a third party candidate? Trump might start a new political party.

Or someone else in the future with a trump like following? Trump showed us anything’s possible. Hell, it would have been easier if he ran 3rd party. Amazing how trump took over in 2015. Rubio and cruz were calling him a con man. Then for four years not a peep from either of them.
