🚨🚨 2/2 The GOP pretending the current system is 100% “free market capitalism” is the problem when the current system has devolved over decades to now an overwhelmingly oligarchical, crony capitalist system rife with corruption and nepotism.
The GOP calling this capitalism, telling people to eat Ramen, ignoring that (as Matt Walsh said there was a time when the poor had more flexibility in affording fast food than now which has disappeared), and denying the current reality of near-complete lack of affordability for many items, will only breed more “anti-capitalists.”
Quit arguing AGAINST socialism.
Argue FOR ending all Corporate Welfare.
Argue for no government investment in private corporations.
Google AI: “The U.S. government has rapidly expanded this practice into a broader portfolio strategy. While direct equity ownership used to be rare and limited to emergency bailouts, recent federal initiatives have secured direct equity or quasi-equity stakes in roughly 30 private companies across critical tech, mineral, and industrial sectors.”
Argue FOR ending fiat currency, print/borrow and spend til you drop. Argue FOR dismantling the oligarchical, crony capitalist system rife with corruption and nepotism and how you’re going to do it.
It’s a lot simpler then that.
Impose serious tariffs to protect domestic jobs and to bring back offshored business, either through corporate relocation or protecting re-starts.
Secure the border completely. $150B is a nice start, but this is the existence of the American people we’re talking about. It’s not a flophouse for the failures of the Third World. Use every military option available to lock down HARD so that Cartel Sinaloa/Jalisco Nueva Generacion et al have to go out of business. Or just attack them with Special Forces and wipe them out. Who gives a crap what the skinny Jewish woman thinks about that.
People in High Point want their furniture jobs back. Carpenters in Colorado wanna be able to do their job and afford a family. Truckers on I-80 don’t want to ever hear Hindi or Punjabi ever again at a coffee shop in Wells.
It’s really that simple.
DJT did his damndest on these points. Got about 1/2 what he pushed, and about 1/4 what we need.
That’s it. Save the USA for the Americans. That’s all the idiot checked jacket / white shoe GOP has to do.
It’s either that or...gone
“The GOP calling this capitalism, telling people to eat Ramen...”
The GOP is not telling people to eat Ramen.
Another gullible idiot.
“crony capitalist”
I made $60,000 to $120,000 for 12 years and less than that for 45 years. Over my adult lifetime between 42% and 47% of my income has gone to the government...Federal, State, Local.
That is not “crony capitalism”. That is a MIXED ECONOMY, Half Capitalist, half Socialist.
Trump buying share of stock in private companies is crony capitalism. I oppose that. But it is very small compared to the big role of socialism and capitalism in the mixed economy.
