I suddenly find my self inspired and am having uncontrollable philosophical thoughts. Knock this mind control shit off.
My reaction? Poor white voters in rural America are dying early in record numbers. Yet they voted for Trump and policies that will make their lives worse ( losing Medicaid expansion, losing entitlements because the tax cut increased the deficit). Voting to create and extend their own poverty.
““You should decide whether something makes sense by its content, not by the person who says it, regardless of his name, the letters after his name, or his title or position in society.”
Totally true, as its in the laws for property, and it gives the well off ways of using social advantages to get rich as the poor get poorer.
And what should come as no surprise is that this was perfectly explained in 1848.
