You're right, they need to flip the Capitalism and Socialism labels. elon's been sucking off of the government's socialist teat and keeping the spoils to himself for a long time.

It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.

Re: When socialism comes to America..
But hey! We have Indy car races in our capital and look at that stock market! I don’t know if I can stand much more “hot” from the U.S. of A.
A top 5 reason to implement a wealth tax is related to this point below about China eating our lunch. If our super rich class was leading the world when it came to frontier industries, that would be a strong case to let them keep cooking.
Instead, their focus the past 15-20 years has been on building monopolies and moats, propping it up with ever-more-absurd financial engineering, media consolidation with the aim of stoking culture war and blunting criticism of Israel, which for some odd reason is supposed to be a national priority for us — all while falling behind China on robotics, batteries, EVs, and so on. We’re barely winning on AI if at all. They cheered as Trump effectively repealed the IRA, the biggest investment in new energy production in decades, and are now crying that there isn’t enough energy production for their AI.
If our billionaires were winners, we might consider defending them.
But our billionaires are losers, in several senses of the word, and they embarrass us on the international stage. A wealth tax will take them down a few pegs and hopefully let some winners rise up. We no longer have a meritocracy so it’s time to strip the participation medals from these monopolists.
So no, a wealth tax is not punishing you for your success. It’s punishing you for failure. Don’t like it? Stop losing.

Except the fled Cuba in 1956 and 1957 when Batista was in charge, 2-3 years before Castro took over.

Awesome! Now we just need to start doing the work to get back to being a real capitalist economy.

And now that you’re more up to speed, tell us about the time a few family members went back to Cuba and couldn’t wait to get out of there and never go back again…
Also, Marco’s extended family ran into a little trouble with the law back in the cocaine cowboy days of the 70s in Miami
Are you saving that for when he’s the president?

Marco will be dragged down by what he’s been required or chosen to do under Trump. I hope he wins the nomination.Caribbean Hen wrote: ↑Tue Aug 25, 2026 10:18 amIt’s good you’re studying up on Marco, our next president!
