"A return to sanity
In the 1930s through the 1960s, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower and JFK/LBJ put America back together after the First Republican Great Depression and built the largest and wealthiest middle class in the history of the world at the time.
Today, 45 years of Ayn Rand's ideas being put into practice by libertarian Republicans from Reagan to Bush to Trump have gutted the middle class, made a handful of oligarchs wealthier than any kings or Pharaohs in the history of the world, and brought a whole new generation of predators, hustlers, and grifters into the GOP.
And then there's Trump's war against Iran, his theft of Venezuela's oil and gold, his attacks on NATO and threats against Greenland, his cutting off weapons to Ukraine, his cashing in on the presidency in ways that clearly violate the Constitution, and his and the GOP's multiple efforts to rig our elections.
There's a popular meme going around the internet these days that says:
"If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat while most of the other monkeys starved, scientists would study that monkey to find out what the heck was wrong with it. When humans do it, we put them on the cover of Forbes."
If America is to survive as a functioning democratic republic, we must repudiate the "greed is good" ideology of Ayn Rand and libertarianism, get billionaires and their money out of politics, stop Trump and his lickspittles, and rebuild our civil institutions.
That starts with waking Americans up to the incredible damage that 45 years of Rand's writings and libertarian "Reagan Republicans" have done to this country and giving Congress to Democrats who'll actually investigate and prosecute these crimes against both democracy and our nation itself.
And that starts with checking your voter registration at vote.org and making a plan today to be sure your vote is both cast and counted.
Tag, we're it!"
Capitalism is so great America is $40 trillion in debt.
The reason it can raise money for all its debt is due to Capitalism.
The reason its in debt is Congress, since FDR has been shoveling money out the door for votes.
The structure of Medicare and SS has been a disaster for the US. It had the golden ticket, but decisions before the ticket arrived killed it faster than it could take advantage of it.
