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

[gipper]

We are way passed the time for a revolution. The vast inequalities need addressing now. I’m not calling for violence. A non-violent revolution needs to get underway.

One of the most effective non-violent tool is currently illegal in the US:

FLASHBACK: America’s Last General Strike Was In Oakland In 1946

"Other than building up the activist momentum to actually carry out the strike, there are also legal and logistical issues with general strikes.

"Under the anti-labor Taft-Hartley Act, 'a general strike in support of other workers is illegal,' making general strikes effectively barred. In addition to these possible legal hurdles, organizing a general strike would require collective action that is difficult under current organizing rules."

Who would have thunk that in the Land of the Free?

 

[BrokeLoser]

Some devout believers are asking which greedy individual will become the world's first trillionaire$

Do you wonder why ALL of the soon to be trillionaires are Democrats?

 

[FA_Q2]

I have no idea why this would suprise anyone. The reality is that EVERY TIME government makes a big expenditure it almost exclusively goes to the largest businesses and wealthiest people. It is how the government operates and it is not a matter of democrat or republican, it is simply a matter of how it works. I have pointed it out before but I have to point it out again:

The CARES act cost over 2 trillion dollars. Broken down by simple population, that is approximately 6,500 PER PERSON in spending. That means a family of 4 would have received 26 thousand dollars if that spending was sent to them. The actual payout directly to the people? Supposedly 3,400 though the specifics only qualify a fraction of those people for that actual amount.

So where does the rest of that spending go? Not to the average joe. Think about it it. That means the vast majority of the spending does not go to the 'people' in any shape or form.

It doesn't really matter since just about the only place you find unions is in the government.

You sound pretty matter of fact, I'm guessing you found the .gov expenditures in a line item format in public domain?
Would you mind linking us to it please?

I said this very early on when small businesses were being destroyed and the big boxes were raking it in.

Wait until the the foreclosures start. The banks and rich are about to gobble up a good portion of an entire generation's equity And nobody will do a damn thing to stop it.

Funny how that happened.

The CARES Act was yet another payout to the rich.

You beggars always seem to show an extreme obsession and envy for money and power...yet you always seem to denigrate those with money and power...weird huh?

Slaves are always smitten with grifters and con men

Maybe you should pay more attention to reality before stumbling any further down your simple-minded path?

Why are you so lost on the concept of paving your own way? Why are you so concerned with the success and achievements of others?
Your obsession with others is actually quite bizarre. Just get a job dude.

Unbelievable...this is what Americans should be rioting about.

Here’s how much America’s billionaires give to charity, in one chart

Wow. Truly pathetic. I’ve long thought these guys are sociopaths, as they do nothing to help the poor and suffering.

No, actually it was quite expected.

Yep, those elitist Democrats are some greedy motherfuckers....Remember when people were taught in Church to give 10, 15, 20% to charity and you globalists wanted God and church removed from our schools, removed from the hearts and minds of impressionable children? Well look what you dumbmotherfuckers have created...GOOD JOB georgephillip

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.

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!

You are nothing but a big joke. To think the Rs are solely responsible, is utterly mad.

Ears was a continuation of W. We got Don because Ears sucked so bad. No one expected the black guy to be only for the rich, while committing mass murder in numerous MIC demanded wars.

And that was after he was paid $1 million for a Nobel peace prize before he did anything, which he failed to do anyway. What a ******* scam.

Everything that's happening right now is the MIC trying to wrestle back power.

The world was so happy to not have to deal with George w idiot bush . The same thing will probably happen with Biden. The world cannot believe what idiots and scumbags the GOP are....

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."

That's called Socialism.

It's not even government for crying out loud. Anyway socialism anywhere but terminally confused English speaking countries is simply Fair capitalism with a good safety net like every country in the modern world has except the United States. Thanks scumbag GOP and silly dupes like you....

Charity has always sucked, there's a lot of overhead and it always dries up in hard times. It's really good for guilty Republicans who keep voting to cut services and screw regular people, the brain washed functional morons.....

Poor gripper trying to make idiots see the obvious. I almost can't believe you would have to point this out but you do and many will not understand nor believe. I truly feel as though I woke up in an alternate universe at times.

yes yes it's a gigantic conspiracy of all the respected journalists and law enforcement in the world. Only those who listen to Rupert Murdoch Incorporated and their high School grad exquad DJ pundits know the truth. Absolute brainwashed idiocy....

Illegal employers are definitely a problem

Wrong. It is THE problem

We should hang every one of them in public

Not a chance. We barely acknowledge that it's an issue...

So pass a national ID card for work like the Democrats always want but of course that would be communism. It is also the only solution like in every other modern country that has a problem.
