I see that James Talarico is doing something that Kamala did not

76. Nah, with all due respect, your post would have us all dancing at the end of the same string.

I as a patient want the treatment I need.

The doctors, nurses and allied health professionals want to heal me.

And right smack dab in the middle of that is the PROFIT motive. This is in direct conflict with the whole thing. Healthcare schools and prisons should never be for profit.

The real problem is a) years of irresponsible tax cuts for billionaires and corporations with sustained high spending with the military industrial complex, which is a parasite on the treasury has forced massive cuts to programs that help us, while b) corporations and billionaires are getting billions in government contracts, and c) corporations only pay in 4% of the federal government's income tax revenue while individuals like us pay in over 50%.

This is the most massive heist in known history - a class war waged so successfully by the billionaire robber barons that our government is bankrupt, our power is fading away as we speak, and the treasury doors are flapping in the wind. Millions of people have actual needs that our tax dollars that WE pay in to OUR government, supposedly OF, BY and FOR we the people SHOULD be paying for.

Instead we are spending billions on stupid shit like this war in Iran, reflecting pools and bunker-ballrooms.

Trump is only a symptom. Our whole shareholder primacy capitalist system encourages and rewards sociopathic behavior to the extent that our government has instead become so corrupt it cannot even function.

We need dozens more like Mamdani, AOC and Warren and IF we actually have a midterm election, and IF it isn't rigged in favor of the Republicans, then I want to see some fucking impeachments, the complete release of the Epstein files, and I want our guys to go in there slugging and fire all the fucking white supremacist 'justices' and get people who don't legislate Jim Crow from the bench.

We need to clean fucking house and rebuild something that actually IS a government of, by and for the people as opposed to a cash cow for billionaires.

Did you hear that today, Zuck's $300 million yacht pulled into Seattle concurrently with Meta announcing 1400 layoffs. Human beings, working stiffs, people with families and this schmuck has a fucking $300 million yacht. NO. We need to tax these parasites out of existance.
