No Labels

Look up Pat McCrory the co-chair of this right-wing, billionaire-backed organization. He is one of the "leaders" creating something out of nothing. The culture wars these people started are just a distraction from what we should be doing en masse, which is getting rid of the billionaires. They should be taxed out of existence. Human behavior is pathetically predictable. How come we cannot rise above the chaos people like this man want to sow among us? We should be able to see past his manipulative, coercive deceitfulness and come together as a species for the issues that we all face. Because facing them together will ensure more happiness and security overall. We know this. The more we can share and cooperate with one another, the more we progress as a species as a whole. It really is the only way we are able to achieve great things. We need to move past our need to define community by what people are not. This is just a manipulation of the wealthy, They have done it to us for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Human populations being used against one another so the well off can continue to take more than their fair share over the rest of us. They will take as much as we let them. Is it going to be all of it? Just look at the rise of the wealthy in the past couple years. The Credit-Suisse report outlines staggering inequality, even within the ranks of the wealthy itself. It's very astonishing. I'm not sure many people really comprehend it. If they did, they would be rioting in the streets everyday. For example, there are 264,200 UHNW individuals with net worth above $50 mil at the end of 2021. This is 46,000 more than the 218,200 recorded at the end of 2020, which in turn was 43,400 higher than in 2019. These increases are more than double the increases recorded in any other year this century. Taken together, the number of adults with wealth above $50 million expanded by more than 50% in the two years 2020, 2021. This SHOULD be UNACCEPTABLE to us all. Human happiness and security demands equality. If we want peace, we want more people to have their needs met and for those with exorbitant wealth reined in so we can have more ideas invested in. Not just the ideas of the wealthy. Who are really quite boring and non-creative. Look at some of the most prosperous times in America. The corporate tax rate is why. A high tax rate on corporations equals investment in the American people. When you put Americans to work for the greater good, we have a more peaceful society, with progress. Is that what we want? Don't listen to those who say we cannot educate people for free or for far less than we do now. It's perfectly fair for people to have educational fees waived or forgiven. If we always had the notion that progress wasn't fair to those who came before, we would still be using outhouses. But isn't indoor plumbing nice? If previous generations decided it was unfair to human beings who came before, sh!tt!ng outside would be only one thing in a list of millions we would still be doing.
