    And highly productive people do much better in a system based on capitalism.

    I tried a couple of times to explain things to you and realized I was wasting my time.
    Q.E.D.
    I don't have to prove anything. You're the guy who pushes conspiracy theories, some true but many ranging from improbable to preposterous.
    Largely a product of the National Monetary Commission. Connected to Big Money? Of course. So what?

    Because we are the richest country in the world and have the lowest taxes on the rich of anybody ever? Your admiration for greedy idiot GOP billionaires is noted. No sacrifice is too great to save them LOL......

    Just the facts ma'am. So how many hundreds of phony scandals against Democrats have there been and how many have been indicted or anywhere near? By the way, 0. Meanwhile half of trumps campaign staff is in prison, 200 Reagan supporters went to prison and every time the GOP gets 8 years they have another corrupt bubble and bust that you and we pay for. Only your imaginary garbage propaganda planet makes this possible.... It's not that the GOP has made success more and more difficult the last 38 years, people just magically got lazy and stupid right? Absolute idiocy....

    yes, Savage capitalism with a flat tax system makes the greedy idiot GOP Rich do great while everyone else gets screwed. Brilliant. In every other modern country everyone does very well. And they all have a living wage health Care daycare paid parental leave cheap college and training great infrastructure and vacations while we have the worst upward mobility and inequality ever anywhere basically. Great job!

    by the way your Winston Churchill quote just illustrates how the English-speaking world has been conflating socialism and communism since the twenties. On the other hand every English-speaking country has socialism now, defined as always Democratic Fair capitalism with a good safety net everywhere but here. Nonetheless the UK Canada Australia New Zealand all are socialist. But they can't call it that LOL and they can't call themselves socialists. It's almost time we got past this in the English-speaking dick head world LOL.France Italy Germany Scandinavia etc etc have all had socialist and communist parties at the same time and they know the difference. Democracy.

    The high income 10% pay 55% of the income taxes. That’s much higher than other EU countries. They come for the economic and bill of rights freedoms.

    And highly productive people will do even better without an obsolete land based school system.
    Finally, Schools Out - it should stay out forever. Reminds me of an old song. ;-)

    An Alice fan. Yes, colleges especially will see a much greater emphasis on remote learning with much lower tuitions. Educational software can adjust on an individual student basis to give a much more effective and efficient learning process.

    Our big land based schools are outdated.
    They serve primarily as terrorist targets and pandemic incubators.

    They come for the money in this giveaway Reagan system we have. The top 10% pay 90% of income taxes because they earn 90% of income. Great job! You do Babylon don't you? but we have a flat tax system everybody pays about 27% on average rich to pretty much poor. Even the bottom quintile pays about 20% in all taxes and fees. Your statistic means nothing. And is wrong to boot LOL

    The still thinking Left does not like our obsolete failed education system.
    Those who like it, left to right, have no interest in "institutions of higher learning", and that is disgraceful.
