Dennis, when the graduated income tax returns, you can lecture me about money making. As it is, great wealth increases without doing anything, simply on the holding of stocks or, most outrageously, stock buybacks the benefit the managers who arrange the buybacks. And this behavior is rewarded by taxing capital gains at a lower rate than income from real work.
No society has ever been able to control wealth and wealth has never been satisfied with any amount being enough. It always leads to what we are seeing now, more and more of the percentage of national wealth going to the richest and less and less going to the 99%, even as the rich begrudge the poor what little they get. Briefly, in the middle of the 20th century, the largest incomes were taxed the highest but since the "Reagan Revolution" this has been dismantled amid the constant cry that Social Security must be cut back, even as the "defense" budget grows without limit or any call for restraint.
The wealthy want to cut the gains for the 99% that were made with the New Deal even though the New Deal starting with the NRA was, as with Obamacare, designed in cooperation with big business, fearful of the power of the people who had nothing to lose. Unions were a terror for the rich as even the union leadership had trouble directing the membership's outrage.
As for derangement, what can one say of a man who calls himself a "very stable genius", who attempts to market anything and everything with his name on it. He is the modern equivalent of the traveling salesmen of the 19th century hawking miracle elixers promising cures for everything. Trump University ended with lawsuits for not delivering what was promised.
Dennis, if you think Trump has you or me or anyone but himself in mind after looking at his life history of deception and outright lying that he continues even in the debate the other night you are the one that needs to think again.
Our political system is completely corrupt and Trump will do absolutely nothing to address that, he the guy who paid $750 in income tax for one of the years we know about. As global warming threatens it is inconceivable that Trump will do anything to address it as that would hurt big profit. Israel? He has already moved the US embassy to Jerusalem for Sheldon Adelson. Adelson's wife, Miriam is now donating $100 million to get Trump back into position to grant her wish of the West Bank becoming part of Israel. He has told us that he will be out to get those who he thinks have wronged him once he is in office, as he continues threatening people. Think again, Dennis.
BTW, on Biden - he should be out of office immediately for the sake of national security. Right now we are rudderless with him as captain of the ship with two senseless wars going on that are being given unlimited funding, those wars disproportionately benefitting the wealthy while having nothing to do with US national security.
