The problem is that not only do they pick winners and losers but they also threw out the monopoly statute. Again, money is all that matters in this country.

For a guy who is always derisively posting "money is all that matters in this country" you spend an awful lot of time posting and complaining about people/companies unfairly acquiring financial wealth for themselves. If money doesn't matter, what do you care?

Anyone else make sense of this? I can't read this statement and comment because it makes zero sense? What?

Per Darren Rovell:

My first financial mistake was not being born into a wealthy family. It's been all downhill since.

The Plan is to fix that by marrying into one. Unfortunately, most rich people, and virtually all children of rich people, are so morally and intellectually bankrupt that no amount of money is worth being near them. This is why they pair off.

True story. When I was a child, I went to a church in the Muskegon suburbs. If you weren't Norton Shores wealthy, you were overlooked at best.

Wasn't until I started going to churches in the city that my (lack of) income didn't matter.

If I wanted to be rich, I should have gone for an MBA. Instead, I'm chasing an MSW.

Can someone explain to me WHY after the Tax Cuts and 84 Environmental Rules Being Rolled Back Under Trump that the economy isn't screaming right now?

The concept that this is true has been drilled into every American's skull since 1980. Why isn't the President on the TV right now explaining WHY his trickle down economics are not working? Enquiring minds want to know.

Also, since Climate Change isn't real why is Greenland, Antarctica, and the Arctic Circle melting? I don't get it. Are they lying? President's don't lie, (I just posted a video to that affect this morning).

By the way. Every moron who sold this ****ing economic bull**** can all DIE. Just DIE. You're a stain on humanity.

Probably for the same reason that supply side and deregulation have failed in every real life situation in which they have been applied in history.

Because they were an obvious con for the rich to rip off the rest of us.

As liberals have said since 1978.

More appropriately, why isn't every Democrat on tv screaming about how with all those tax cuts, and business being no longer strangled by "burdensome" regulations that promote worker safety and environmental protections, the economy isn't steaming along at Trump's promised 5% growth rate?


I mean, 5% growth was supposed to be easy.
