Of course you have a narcissistic article written by a Leftist narcissist. Your echo chamber gets choked up with more of them with every day that passes.
Respect is a two way street and respect is earned.
I could give two shits what a Leftist worm who's never worked a day in their life thinks about me. In fact, whatever they have to say is probably the equal and opposite of the truth.
I have zero respect for hive-minded people who have given up their ability to form their own opinions for the ability to just shut off their brains and let somebody else do all of their thinking and decision making for them.

(Just so you don't misunderstand, 1kiki, America is controlled by the top 1% richest Americans, unless Congress does something to thwart the 1%. The Republicans do NOT want the 1% placed under control and so long as there are 34 Republican Senators the 1% can't be controlled. As for Presidents, they can't stop the 1% from being the actual leaders of America, doing whatever pleases themselves, but Congress can stop the 1% by simply taxing them and giving the IRS sufficient money to enforce the tax laws. Congress can also stop the 1% by giving the Court System sufficient money so that cases involving the top 1% get decided within months rather than years or decades. Delays always work for the advantage of the wealthy. But as long as there are 34 Republican Senators, the IRS will not be collecting all the taxes the 1% richest owe and court cases involving the 1% will not be decided quickly. This is how the rich want America to run and this is how it continues to run.)
Special note for 6ix: you don't really understand the power that the top 1% richest have over America. If you someday understand, and have the physical courage, you would probably turn into the DC Comics Joker and kill the top 1%. I am not expecting your transformation into a DC Super Villain, 6ix, but maybe you will surprise me. I look forward to your crazy rampage followed by treatment in Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane.

When democrats* controlled Congress and the WH, what control did THEY exercise over the 1% ?
And if democrats* don't do any different, how are they any better?

Quote:Go all the way back to FDR. Taxes were raised to 99% of taxable income. The Republican Supreme Court justices raged against the New Deal until FDR threatened them. Social Security was passed. Herbert Hoover, who FDR defeated, spent the rest of his life accusing Democrats of being Communists. J. Edger Hoover, the Republican FBI director, accused Democrats of being Communists.

Go back to LBJ. Medicare passed. Voting Rights Act was passed. Finally, there was an end to the system that the slave-owners had established after the Civil War. And what were Republicans (and Democrats who would switch parties) doing? Raging against the Democrats for being Communists. What were the top 1% doing? Electing Nixon to take back control of America from those Communists and lower taxes. Nixon went a little too far in lowering his own taxes. So did Trump, following Nixon's example.
1kiki, whenever there are 34 Republican Senators, those Communists in the Democratic Party cannot stop the top 1% from doing as they please.

Did LBJ REALLY threaten the power structure? Was it by doing this? How L.B.J. Pushed Through Kennedy's Tax Cut https://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/02/04/how-l-b-j-pushed-through
-kennedys-tax-cut/
/snicker
Come to think of it, maybe that was JFK's problem, the one that got him killed. The fact that the CIA was running US foreign policy, and he threatened that.
Anyway, if democrats* ever threatened the 1%, it was all the way back to FDR, and even that's debatable. And that was 80 or more years ago.
And if democrats* don't do any different, how are they any better?

Quote:You are trolling me, 1kiki. I've got a perfect example of the 1% running a corner of America exactly the way they want to. The Democrats in the Senate can't stop the 1% from doing this because there are more than 34 Republican Senators and the Democrats are also fearful of, once again, being called Communists. Here is the example:

The U.S. again ranks last in health care compared with other high-income countries: report
Aug. 4, 2021 at 5:02 p.m. ET
Despite spending more than the other countries on health care as a percentage of GDP, the U.S. still ranks last in health care performance

High prices and low performance is exactly what the 1% want from the Health Care System. 1kiki, you can look up the Republicans' ideas for taking control of Health Care away from the top 1%. If you ignore the Republican obfuscation, you will find that the Republicans have no plans for taking control away from the top 1% and the Democrats have very detailed plans that the 34 Republican Senators have stopped and will continue to stop for the rest of this century because that is how the Constitution was designed and that is how the top 1% want it to be.

Another example showing the top 1% richest are the true leaders of America:
When industry wants a chemical safety assessment done yesterday, EPA managers classify it as “hair on fire.” . . .
Although she had resolutely refused to change her conclusion about the threat posed by the chemical, the new document dismissed the information Osterweil had inserted about the developmental hazards. Instead, it was deemed unlikely to present an unreasonable risk — making it a “not likely,” in the agency’s parlance. The industry had once again won the battle over a chemical assessment — getting the risks of its product minimized and speeding up the review process. In an email sent by Osterweil’s supervisor that day, she wrote, “Please move this Not Likely expeditiously, as the submitter is anxious.”
In June, after several of the whistleblowers had filed complaints with the EPA’s science adviser and the EPA inspector general, the assessment was again changed, this time to reflect that the chemical “may present an unreasonable risk of injury to health.” It was nevertheless allowed onto the market.

You seem to think I'm disputing that the country is run by the rich, for the rich. I'm not, I agree with that.
BTW - Signy made that exact point a long time ago posting a paper. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/perspectives-on-politics/artic
le/testing-theories-of-american-politics-elites-interest-groups-and-average-citizens/62327F513959D0A304D4893B382B992B So nice of you to catch up!
Anyway, democrats* have had a long enough time to prove they're* not just like republicans. But instead of doing that, they* actively pursue the same policies: Obama* blowing the financialists, spying even more on innocent citizens, starting foreign wars on the cheap through CIA operations ... and so on; Clinton* gutting Glass-Steagall, signing NAFTA, and 'reforming' welfare ... and so on.
That's just a small sampling of how the democrats* aren't just cowering before republicans and frozen into immobility, they're actively pursuing the exact same policies.
And if democrats* don't do any different, how are they any better?

Quote:1kiki, you use the asterisk too much. It is a sign of a mushy mind, not much focused on a goal.

There are simple reasons why the richest 1% are the actual rulers the USA and why the President and Congress do not rule.
1) The 1% are focused. It may appear that they squabble within their group, but the entire group actually knows exactly what they want. On the other hand, politicians are a bunch of dithering, unfocused blabbermouths listening to voters who are even more unfocused and dithering than the politicians. The voters want a million different things which conflict with what other voters want, which leads to endless compromising, negotiating, confusion, uncertainty and (the favorite weakness that gives the top 1% its enormous power) delays that stretch out for years or even decades.
2) The Constitution is designed to paralyze the Federal government. The Founding Fathers, who wrote the rules, were the top 1% who knew exactly what they were doing. While the 21st Century top 1% are going after their goal, the Federal government can't move because the 1% know exactly what circuit breakers to turn off in order to stop the Federal government from interfering with the top 1%.
The Democratic Party and the GOP give a demonstration every day of the week that they absolutely don't know what to do with a true top 1%, Trump for one example, but there are 3,300,000 more of them besides Trump. The Federal government doesn't know how to handle the top 1%. If the Federal government functioned properly, Trump would have paid his taxes. There would not be an endless "audit" and court cases. Trump shows how silly, weak and dithering the Federal government is, as it was designed to be by the top 1%.
