That’s out of your hands as an Illinois resident, but Trump isn’t?! Why do you hate your state rights?! You can make a lot more change here in IL and your community than on a national scale. Your argument makes no sense. You’re basically saying you are ok with JB but not Trump, Musk, or Bezos…

Yes, JB isn’t a fascist trying to give America to corporate billionaires. JB isn’t perfect, but he’s far preferable to the guys you just listed; who want to replace democracy with corporate run cities. That’s not conspiracy theory, you can look it up.

Hey, that’s not out of your hands. You just don’t wanna do it. Might be why you’re called a socialist and commie. They rarely have to do anything to get their share. Those places reward laziness…

LOL stick to sports

The only way you can lower property taxes is by starting with a progressive income tax to replace it

Except that was never mentuoned at all. No one trusts them to do the right thing. Ergo, it lost, bigly.

Nothing is going to stop you from being a whiny commie, but just because Musk is an asshole who hordes wealth, it doesn't mean everyone else does. For example, Soros gives away a shitload and so does Bezos' ex. You can still find a few public buildings paid for by Andrew Carnegie. You could be productive and successful too, maybe, if you put your mind to it instead of whining on The Twotter. A fairer tax system would be nice; so would property tax reform in Illinois. But letting people work, innovative, and be successful sure is a hell of a lot better than the commie and socialist facade where the vast majority are just existing and stagnating.  As we have seen, perpetual welfare is not good. Didn't work for the Soviets, hasn't worked for the Euros, or most of the underclass in America. Raja's family was on welfare until his dad got back to work. That's how it's supposed to work.

Citizen United is an abomination. If corporations are people, then they would be subject to criminal laws. Yet, we don't see that.

You don't like capitalism. You are free to take your sorry progressive ass to any of the dying, aging socialist countries you want. The problem is it sounds like your ex lady would rather try and live the American Dream.

If you’re referring to this post (I assume you are), yes; I never saw it. I was posting on the fly last night. First chance I’ve had to catch up since yesterday. I still haven’t read it, I’ll read it when I finish this post. But yes, you clutch pearls like no other when I mention taxing billionaires more. And saying someone is a “commie” because they want to tax the world’s richest people more is one of your most epic PAStrawman yet. And that’s a high bar.

PAMan says Citizens United is an “abomination” but couldn’t cheerlead loud enough when AIPAC dumped millions into house races to unseat members who were critical of Israel.

Except you always want something from someone else for doing nothing, which makes you a commie.

I may think it is an abomination, but those are the rules everyone plays by, even the Dems. Alerting people to what their reptesentiatives actually stand for is bad again why? Especially when they elect another Dem who is more in tune with their values? The horror of holding elected officials accountable in the primaries versus on The Twotter!  The Horror!

So your big comeback was just a bunch of “commie” schtick. I’m not a communist. You clearly don’t know what a communist. Any moron knows the difference between democratic socialism (working fine in many countries), and communism. I don’t think you’re a moron. You’re just incredibly stubborn and argumentative. You’re still falling for the “it’ll trickle down” lie.

Were we a communist country in the 50s, when CEOs were making 9x the average worker instead of 1600x the average worker?

I know what a commie is. You are one of them.

Is Dem Socialism working? Their economies are stagnant. None of them have GDP or companies that match ours. (I read today that the largest Euro company is only the size of the US' 4th largest retailer, Home Depot. They are basically homogenous societies that are flailing when immigrants are allowed in; no melting pot over there. Trump is (as was Obama and Biden) right that they haven't been paying their fair share for their security; which is changing by necessity.

Again, your old lady isn't itching to join the Dem Socialist Utopia. And there seems to be many in our own hemisphere and Africa seekijg to escape Socialism as well.

No one wants to turn America into a socialist country except freeloaders and AWFULs: i.. e., Progressives

A lot of “commie” countries on this lists. I’ve heard it reported that abortions are free in Israel.

As I said, try to tax a billionaire a little more and PAMan will come running like Mel Gibson in Braveheart.

The market has obviously changed and putting artifical caps won't help

I’m not going to engage you because you are extremely disingenuous. No point. Didn’t really bother reading the rest of your post. No point.
