“Until economic and social rules work for all Americans, they’re not working...”

“The more a person needs to be right, the less certain he is...”
“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.”

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!
That has never really been true. But now it is not even true in any way.
Boom or bust, our system does not work.

People are starting to see the truth.

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 expl*s*v*s.

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!!!
