Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Unfortunately, anything you invest anywhere, is ultimately going to enrich those same billionaires. We could all collectively decide to move our money to investments that aren't currently being controlled by them, and by tomorrow afternoon they will have shifted their focus to the new "investment opportunity" that our money has just created for them.
A wise man once said, "There is no such thing as a system that cannot be exploited, if given enough time and motivation."
There are plenty of ways to destroy wealth besides reduced revenue. You could reduce assets, reduce labor, reduce efficiency, increase taxes, increase regulation, and much more.
Debt. Everything grows because of debt. Pay off your debt as quickly as possible
And they still can hoard their billions, now what?
Luigi!
The strategy is to kill them
I mean, that's what they don't seem to understand. It's part of the social contract, they willingly submit and pay their taxes, or, at some point, they will end up hanging upside down from a pole.
I don't care if they're rich, I care that they hoard so much while pretty much everyone else is suffering, all the while financing fascist propaganda.
I mean it's the way of the world.
Eat them... yeah that may end in the untimely demise... but we are supposed to eat the rich.
Don’t eat junk food! Instead, compost and eat the veggies.
Well, I am hungry.
America has perhaps never been more divided. This feels like a pipe dream.
All because some billionaires want to fuck kids and not pay taxes. Eat the rich. They are destroying the world.
