4. WE CAN"T AFFORD A GREAT COUNTRY
Thu May 8, 2025, 08:35 PM

If you want a great country everyone needs to pay for it. The only reason we can"t afford a great country is we funnel the money into the arms of wealthy political donors who have bought the government. We have the best government that money can buy. The income inequality in the USA is intolerable. There was a time when taxes on the wealthy helped us build a better country than we have now. It also put a check on some of the income inequality we have today. One way or another, we will get the country we pay for be it better or worse. Remember that little people have contributed to the wealthy through labor and their expenditures. You can't do it alone. So, please don't give us your pap crap that we need to gut the government because we don't have enough money to keep it running. It's not tariffs that will make us great. It's more TAXES on the wealthy that have seen their income grow much faster than almost everybody else in our country.
