Its hilarious. Americans dont realise they are being played. All this BS from the MAGA people and trump are just shift attention away from the conversation to tax billionaires. You guys had been going in the right direction when it came to having the rich pay their fair share. Now look at what you are all talking about?
Your fighting each other. What a shitshow.
I really dont think America will recover from this and while the world will suffer as a result, I think in the long term, things will work out. There will be some major suffering but thats the way the world works. WW2 happened, a lot of suffering then peace. We had peace for too long, people forgot about suffering and now look at the world. Thanks America, you played yourself and are now bringing the rest of the world down with you. Rather than focusing on the right things, you are being played to argue with each other.
Trump got a plurality of the popular vote, not a majority. There are lots of people who didn't vote for this. Many people are now doing whatever they can to limit the damage, but it's an uphill battle and plenty damage will be done in the meantime. It's been very hard to watch this unfold.
I don't really see that re the tax on billionaires. It wasn't tightened up especially during the Biden admin and it would be surprising if the Trump lot went all lefty and cracked down. It seems much more of a culture war thing.
I think the rich are using culture ways to deflect attention away from that conversation. Americans have the richest people in government positions now, the most wealthiest cabinet ever assembled. They literally took over the government to make sure they fixed the debt problem without them having to pay for it and are attacking their own people. They literally elected a billionaire (though only recently) to lead their country. Thats how much they got played.
The fact remains, America needs to fix its debt problem. Its either through the rich or through the people. The rich seems to have their way at the moment.
