Good essay, John. As I was watching the SOTU address- (mainly to see if Biden would keel over midway; no such luck)- of course he went there. Soak the rich, and blame Trump's tax cuts. What people like Biden and his left wing goofballs like Bernie and Fauxcahontas can't grasp is that a corporate tax is a second level of tax that puts the US at an economic disadvantage. I studied tax policy in an advanced course at a left-wing law school, and one of the only sure ways my professor knew would jump start a socialist economy was a zero percent corporate tax rate. Dividends and salaries are already taxed. The US has always had one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world, Trump passed tax cuts to influence wealthy people to bring their money back onshore, and it was working. Then CoVid and the worse plague, dependence on government via Biden's "stimulous" spending handouts kicked off this massive inflation and deficit spiral... But why not demonize, in this case the rich, when it's so much easier than reasoning and logic.
My 'real' problem is rich people like gates who have bought government lock, stock, and barrel up to the point where he can dictate mass culls under the guise of 'public health.'
The REAL problem is the Jews, who OWN the Democrat party and yearn for the "good old days" of their Messiahs - Lenin and Stalin. That is a significant majority of them across the West - 70-75%!
Yet none dare mention this lest they be deleted. Wonder how long before this comment "disappears"???
You just don't get it. If the Government were not involved in so much more than is there proper role, if "the Government" left the majority of decisions to the States, Cities, and People, there would be no reason and no benefit to the rich "crornying up with government." The buck starts and ends with Government, not persons or people, rich, poor or otherwise.
I am not defending anything. Is it your position that if government were small and had very limited power, that corporate bigwigs would still be trying to garner favors and money that the government had no ability to give? Because that is the position you are taking.
It is clear that you have an opinion that you are dedicated to and will stick with regardless of what anyone else says. You descend to insults and bloviating without offering real life examples to make you points. There is little point in attempting to discuss with you. Look at Enron, Ford, Bell Telephone, just to name a few Big Biz that disprove your tinfoil hat thinking.
100 fucking percent! Thanks for laying it out so plainly John.

Sadly, it's unlikely to disappear since only tinfoil-hat wearers and biggots subscribe to this kind of idiotic drivel.
Ah, but the Jews learned well from Lenin and Stalin.
And THEY run the Media in the West today.
We have a clearance sale on bridges, everything must go.
The real problem is rich people cronying up with government.

You’re STILL defending cronyist Big Business?
One of us just doesn’t get it.
And it isn’t me.
I am not defending anything. Is it your position that if government were small and had very limited power, that corporate bigwigs would still be trying to garner favors and money that the government had no ability to give? Because that is the position you are taking.
That’s not the position I’m taking.
At all.

Big Gov became so big - it fundamentally transformed the US business model.
Gone was the pursuit of professional excellence. Replaced by - the pursuit of lobbying excellence.
Big Biz decided: Why try to beat Big Gov - when you can join with it?
Gone was any semblance of the healthy adversarial relationship between government and business.
Now Big Biz lobbies for more and more and more Big Gov. Because it benefits them.
And Big Gov gives Big Biz exactly what they want. Because it benefits them.

Read the article before commenting upon it.
Otherwise you end up looking like an idiot.
It is clear that you have an opinion that you are dedicated to and will stick with regardless of what anyone else says.

You said I said something - I clearly never said.
I give you an excerpt from the piece - saying the exact opposite of what you said I’m saying.
And you are STILL incapable of grasping the concept.
I called you an idiot - because you’re clearly an idiot.
Turns out I undersold it.
