    I agree the billionaire class and corporatocracy are the common enemy, but conservatives defend them loyally. So if you really want to regulate, limit, tax or dismantle that common enemy, you’ll need to go through conservatives to get there. And they aren’t budging. They never will. They are the minions of our enemy and will gleefully kill you and your family to defend them. In fact, they are doing that right now by aggressively heating the earth while mocking normal people for panicking about it.

    The next civil war will not be fought in trenches. It will be fought at cafe’s and on freeways as conservatives commit further acts of domestic terrorism. Conservatism is a plague in desperate need of a cure.

      Can you honestly say the wealthy of this nation only play on one party line? I honestly think both sides are just as bad. The political games mostly distract you from the big wins of the ultra-wealthy. When regulation flip flops all the time the winners are in the businesses who effectively write the laws that politicians peddle. It’s rare there are experts writing laws that get passed who are not compensated by the very industry they are crafting the laws to regulate.

      I learned a lot about public policy in college and what you see in the news isn’t generally the key points, it’s just whatever outrage fuel they can put on the fire for their respective audience. Regulation and loopholes are rarely easily understood things, it’s all for people who understand the complexities of tax code and legalese which isn’t most people.
