The maga's GOP plan for the future of America's youth is not to educate them but to indoctrinate them. To make education seem worthless is why they keep attacking the colleges. Especially the colleges that created attorneys. They want to control who the attorneys are and therefore control who the judges are.

They put the head of the WWE in charge of education so they can strangle education and get the youth to join the military. They promote violence so that the youth can carry out their urges by joining the military. They want control over the youth because they want control over the military. That would be the perfect direction for the incels and young men with no hope or direction.

The WWE rallies will soon be sending military recruiters there. Recruitment for the military has been decreasing over the years and they want to stop that. They want to increase military so they can take over other countries by brute force. That's what all the talk about taking over Canada and Greenland is about. What the government needs is soldiers not educated individuals who still think, but soldiers who listen to orders and commands and are ready to fight.

This is a very disturbing trend but a trend that has been happening for a long long time. The dumbing down of America.

It continues to amaze me that Americans do not learn. All these years later and they still think trickle-down economics is a thing? It didn't happen under Reagan may he rot in hell and it won't happen now. Billionaires are hoarders. They want more and more and more and they're not giving any of it to you. They only create jobs if it means profit and despite their billions have no qualms about closing a factory or a store if it isn't profitable, despite the rest of their empire's profitability being able to absorb it, even if it is the only source of jobs in its town. Walton Family, I'm looking at you. They are all despicable. They don't care about you, they can't relate to you. They are today's version of the French aristocracy in the early 1790s - out of touch and arrogant.

The trumpublicans create indentured servitude, not so much jobs as we think of them.

In Canada, wealthy people get involved in politics so that they can create social and economic change legally. In the U.S., they don't have to do anything at all and they still make money.

It should be clear that the government is trying to kill off as many of us as possible to sustain the oligarchy. In turn, we should do as much as possible to inflict damage on their wealth.

He who has the most money can buy politicians to make the rules. What’s really frightening is that some of them are so rich, they have the monetary influence and purchasing power of some small nations. Tax the rich.

Sadly, as many of us have seen this come around again. Hearts of Courage and Gratitude to those before us, part of us, who fought and died to protect us from this very situation.

Why is socialism so frightening to Americans?

They're totally happy with socialism as long as it only goes to rich people. For the most part, they use "socialism" as a term when they want to avoid admitting they're racist.

People are afraid of the manner in which their lifetime earnings are being stolen from us. This is an all out war against humanity.

You’ve described a dire situation for the majority of Americans coming soon as the serfs of the billionaire kings pass their bill that will officially usher in the dystopian dream these millionaire/billionaire “takers” have been working to overturn since the New Deal was enacted. The working class of America are being entered into a new country, not unlike the changes made from the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, only so much more heinous. Welcome to the new Ununited States of Dystopia. Thank you always sharing light and for the clear and thorough view of what we are facing at the hands of these greedy, malevolent Republicans. 🇺🇸👍🏼👏🇺🇸

Well written. Truth. Not all. But many billionaires inherit money. Have no idea of hard work. And that trickle down bullshit. Been waiting for that since Reagan. Not a drip. Gets stuck at the top and always will. Billionaires I now think of as parasites. Musk is a prime example. What has he given lately. He could fix alot by himself, but he doesn't. He is the waste and fraud. Oh hell, we all know that. When are we going to fight for ourselves and not for the wealthy! Billionaires are not our salvation, but our destruction. I know, preaching to the choir but it helps to get it out. Thanks.

Just, wow! This is the best written truth of what is currently happening in our country. My heart aches for not just the elderly, but young adults and their children. We must stand up and fight the regime. Thank you, Walter!

Oh yes, of course. I forgot about the racist thing. I’ve been out of the country too long.

90% of a billionaire’s wealth is in stocks and bonds or involved in buying out another company, it does very little to improve the economy. A billionaire can buy a yacht for a private jet for $30 million, 25,000 consumers with an extra $1200 buying items would add greatly to our economy!

"Thus did a handful of rapacious citizens come to control all that was worth controlling in America. Thus was the savage and stupid and entirely inappropriate and unnecessary and humorless American class system created. Honest, industrious, peaceful citizens were classed as bloodsuckers, if they asked to be paid a living wage. And they saw that praise was reserved henceforth for those who devised means of getting paid enormously for committing crimes against which no laws had been passed. Thus the American dream turned belly up, turned green, bobbed to the scummy surface of cupidity unlimited, filled with gas, went bang in the noonday sun.” - Kurt Vonnegut

I hope it won't become that bad. In the meantime, all we can do is protest, bug our Congress people, and VOTE for decent candidates.
