“The promise of America is that anyone who works hard and plays by the rules can earn a middle-class life. That promise is betrayed when the system provides a tiny class of Americans with special treatment, including a get-out-of-jail-free card when they commit fraud to make untold millions.”
Title couldn’t say it all.
CJ and VH , Yes, the USA is a terrible country. You should leave. Afghanistan is calling you.
Democrats don't control the oval office, the Senate or the majority of Governorships. That makes them losers, but true to the loswer's man=trsa, losing is actually winning. Kind of funny to see a nazi l;ike VH posting abouit racism, but hey socialists are all alike and the Nazis were/are socialists.
Bullshit. America promises the equality of opportunity....not the equality of outcome.
You might be born with all the genetic advantages to be the next GOAT in some professional sport...but too bad, you broke your leg when you were 12 and it never healed correctly and so you had to stop playing sports.
You might have a great mind for investments, but your parents encouraged you into the arts and you missed out on making money that way.
There are a million things that can go wrong in a life and lead to mediocrity or less. But just because others succeed doesn't mean that they took something away from you.
Look at a financial winner like Bill Gates.....he didn't steal from you...chances are he made more people able to become rich because of the technology he created than if he had never lived.
And if you don't believe me or my examples...look at the alternatives. Wherever it has been tried, communism (state controlled distribution) never works. What happens, the party leaders get rich doing exactly what you claim the "rich" do in the US. Except that in communist countries, you don't have anyone really creating wealth. They just distribute what's already there until it runs out. Nobody busts their asses to get ahead when they know that they won't actually get ahead. So every does the base minimum and slowly starve until they've had enough and fight for freedom and capitalism!
"The promise of America is that anyone who works hard and plays by the rules can earn a middle-class life"
That has never really been true. But now it is not even true in any way.
Boom or bust, our system does not work.

Miss Liz won't even be the nominee. As stupid as democrats may be, they know a left winger from Massachusetts couldn't win a national election against anyone. The American dream of work hard and save money as a way to success works. The progressive dream of being a failure and a leech as a way to succeed does not. Pats giving the points means a profit and in bed by 10:00 p.m.
American Dream has never really be true, but today it is totally gone.
People are starting to see the truth.
SJG
The people who think the American dream never existed are the foreign garbage coming here illegally and the useless democrats encouraging these leeches. California is filled with such losers.
Later today I'll post some statistics from something I am reading. A large portion of the population lives near or below the poverty line, despite even multiple jobs, and they count themselves luck to have those.
Skibum, you are living proof of why the poor need to demonstrate proficiency and willingness to use with blunt weapons, with knives, with firearms, and with explsv*s.
SJG
Lmao SJG. On line threats are just your way of acknoledging your impotence. I feel sorry for you. Well, I pity you. The poor can attack any timethey decide to. Losers lose, so they should go for it. You of course will be huddled in the rear with urine dribbling down your pants leg.
What the fuck is wrong with you skifredo? San Jose Ape may be insane, but his statement was clearly a generalized delusion regarding some sort of uprising among the poor apes and not a direct online threat against you.
Dosing San Jose Ape with Thorazine has the potential to help him but you are clearly beyond help - drugs to cure stupid haven’t been invented yet!
I’m sure you’ll respond to this by calling me a “progressive” and all sorts of off-topic bullshit. But realize this - doing so will only be acknoledging[sic] your impotence with respect to the ricks.
Remember this: the ricks don’t ridicule you because of your politics. We could give a shit less about that. We ridicule you because you’re funny. Like a clown! ROAR!!!
Skibum, no one would tolerate you. You name 'em Gandhi, Buddha, Jesus, they would each just blow your brains out.
SJG
Lament of the losers lol. America works fine for those who work and deserve it. You losers lol.
