I have a home that was built back in 1952. Still has the coved plaster as the wall meets the ceiling. It is a brick home with all hardwood floors. It also has two secret rooms in it. One in the basement and one on the second floor. The one in the basement is creepy as hell and just needs chains on the wall for a victim or two.

When the Supreme court made corporations people is when America was destroyed.

Tax revenues to pander to those paying the least?
Are you speaking of social safety net programs?
Are you saying we should make those available to the rich as well?

Not just social safety net programs, corporate handouts, foreign interests, cronies... the middle class and upper middle class fund this nation and see the absolute least benefit out of it. No, the safety nets shouldn't exist at all, on any level. I'm a social Darwinist for individuals and for companies. You fail, you fail... society benefits from the natural culling of weakness.

Hey Genius, taxes are in the constitution.
I can't believe people still claim this stupid crap. You will most likely pay more in interest and fees, penalities, false charges and overcharges to business in your life then you ever will in taxes, but people are still crying about taxes, when they're at the lowest level since the 1930's.

I could swallow the pill easier if the decision making process related to who receives what wasn't consolidated in the hands of a select few who also happen to be in near continuous election cycles looking to rise up the political ladders.
America's lack of democracy is staggering in many ways.

They won’t use the billions to hire Americans, boost wages or innovate new products. Instead, the CEOs will buy yachts and tell you that Chinese or Mexicans stole your jobs.
China and Mexico don’t make us poor, predatory capitalism does.
Profits are made on the labor of the poor, the consumption of the poor, and the debt of the poor.

Support those trade tariffs, ya? This country can return to the glory days, but not with global free trade, stringent minimum wage laws and worker protections, and some of the toughest environemental and regulatory red tape in the world. Choose 2 at most... one preferably while loosening one and dropping the third entirely, but no way in hell we do anything but fail with all 3 in place.
