LOL You're blaming Dems for high rents? The Dems are the first ones that advocate for rent-controls and lowering rent prices, while right-wing Republicans fight tooth and nail to stop rent control and lowering rents. You're all for subsidizing the rich:

And you constantly flip the finger to the working class. You're for socialism for the wealthy and "FU" for the working class, "pick yourself up by your own bootstraps bucko, you fukn bum, get to work, stop complaining...". You're for a "fiscal responsible economic policy", when the government is serving the needs of the American working class, asking questions like "whose going to pay for it?"..."we're running out of money, OMG! We're going broke! OMG!"...But when it comes to subsidizing the wealthiest people in our society, not one peep from you. You remain quiet.
Spend trillions bailing out the rich, subsidizing them, with public funds, and you never ask "whose going to pay for it", only when the government spends money, on the working class, do you start whining. You hypocrites.
You are comparing a grape to a watermelon. metaphor.This is a chart you need to see

You are making one BIG mistake. The Democrats are not looking to be a socialist country. They believe in Democratic Socialism, such as Norway has. In addition, no one is trying to get rid of Capitalism. All that is being done is to have some controls and restrictions, so that it is not "unfettered" as the chart shows.
This is what our forefathers wanted when they made the Constitution. They wanted compromise between the parties so no extremes were able to be reached. Uncontrolled Socialism (Communism) is as bad and Uncontrolled Capitalism. Both have to be restricted and controlled so the good comes out and is used and the bad of each is not given a chance to come out.
Do you understand????? It is the center of politics. Not the Far Right or the Far Left.
Well that was a marvelous rant imitation impersonation of ME, during my 40 years as a far left Democrat (1969-2009). Ho hum. All the words I used to say, before I grew up.
Here's a few things you might be interested to know >>
- Trump cut taxes more for the lower income groups than for the rich - 3 & 4 % than the rich top bracket > 2.6%
- after 3.5 years of Biden's presidency, we have seen no change in taxation on the rich. Still a relatively low 37%.
- Previous Republican presidents had MUCH higher tax rates on the rich.
- Federal income tax rates and brackets | Internal Revenue Service
- Blue states with bans on rent control, include these states that Biden won in 2020 >> Washington, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Virginia, Georgia, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut,
- Blue states without a ban, but they also DON'T HAVE rent control >> Nevada, Nebraska, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, Maine, Rhode Island, Hawaii.
- So out of 27 blue states, 22 either don't have rent control statewide, or have a ban on it (13 of them).
- So much for Democrats advocating for rent control, and what did the Bidens do while rents skyrocketed faster and higher than anyone has ever seen ?
- In 2016, Hillary Clinton got more $$$ from Wall St fat cats than Trump & Sanders.

Science.Sigh, another blind-by-choice that refuses data, statistics and facts and that his response is to blame others and insult.
One more Trump minion, unable to think for himself
Capitalism is all about control over workers and public resources. So your views couldn't be more warped. Norway is the way it is partly yes to its natural wealth, however, also due to its social democratic values and policies. It's a socialistic society, that has a mixed economy. Some capitalism with some socialism. What anti-socialist polemicists like you refuse to recognize is that socialism and communism, come in different forms, despite your objections to that fact.You are comparing a grape to a watermelon. metaphor.
Norway has a population less than most states.
It is a more homogeneous population than in the USA.
It also has an exception dose of natural resources for it's size and population;
....
Norwegians enjoy the second-highest GDP per capita among European countries (after Luxembourg), and the sixth-highest GDP (PPP) per capita in the world. Norway ranks as the second-wealthiest country in monetary value, with the largest capital reserve per capita of any nation.[153] According to the CIA World Factbook, Norway is a net external creditor of debt.
....
The country is richly endowed with natural resources including petroleum, hydropower, fish, forests, and minerals. Large reserves of petroleum and natural gas were discovered in the 1960s, which led to an economic boom.[citation needed] Norway has obtained one of the highest standards of living in the world in part by having a large amount of natural resources compared to the size of the population.[citation needed] In 2011, 28% of state revenues were generated from the petroleum industry.

Socialism is socialism.
Putting lipstick on it doesn't change or improve it.
No such thing as uncontrolled socialism, since socialism is all about control.
Bottom line is their approach to the type of governing that is best for the people, Are you saying that because of their resources, they have that type of approach. That is hilarious.You are comparing a grape to a watermelon. metaphor.

Well, being nice to you (not attacking you as you are attacking me without knowing who I am and what I believe in), you need to prove that Marxism is what the left is promoting. I do not see it that way.
If you cannot debate, don't address my posts. I won't talk to those that can't present their views in a way where they actually make their point.Yuri Bezmenov warned us......
There's your clue.
He is right. You are a far Left Communist and an enemy of the country. If you enlisted, then you are a disgrace to the uniform.

You deliver pure biased BS.

Look up Yuri Bezmenov, he'll explain it clearly to you from way back in 1985.
We are at the threshold and it's fucking OBVIOUS.
The demented LEFT have embraced Marxism and want to FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE this country, just like Obama told us.
It's not even debatable at this point.

That picture to the right does not have the reality with it. Many of the people have drugs, alcohol, children out of wedlock, prison records, many abortions, not very good at work, lower educations, and anything related. If they surpass this and make amends, then you are right. And tell the rich Progressives to give up their wealth. To accept illegals and poorer people into their living areas. There are many. None have done that. Marthas Vinyard and the expulsion of illegals is an example what Prog truly are. Talkers. Not walkers except to promote discord among people.Thanks for the sarcastic response but I am American and I love my country and what I am doing is fighting for it.
