Harris - make America a 3rd world shithole
While it may not be enuff since FDR created the MIC, I was also suggesting a national sales tax to replace the income tax.
"The United States pursued a protectionist policy from the beginning of the 19th century until the middle of the 20th century. Between 1861 and 1933, they had one of the highest average tariff rates on manufactured imports in the world." Wiki
How can US workers ever compete with cheap foreign labor? How can US manufacturers compete with countries with almost no environmental laws? IMO, tariffs, not subsidies, are the best solution to these two problems.

"Return power"? When did the American public have any more power than they do today?
How does corporate capitalism control you and how is that any different than socialism? Human greed is not any less because they work for a governmental entity.
We all need some "evil force" to blame for problems in society. It is either Jews, corporations, the media, minorities, the government, education, lobbyists.....simplistic explanations for complex problems.
There has never been a time in my lifetime that any party , this being the Republican Party , that the level of intelligence has to be so low to sell ideas that are made entirely to transfer all the wealth to the golden few at the top . There has never been a time in my lifetime that so many vote against their best interest. All driven by the science of hate. You tell hate groups what they want to hear, and they will stand on their heads for you. Disregarding the fact that they are shitting on your forehead. Now that is stupidity.
Just as long as people realize that being democratic socialist in no way makes you a socialist. It is just a name .
That is done with regulations , we will never be a socialist country. Capitalism is the only way.

There is only one way that socialism , communism and Marxism is implemented. And that is, the means of production is owned and controlled by the government , and the sale of that production is designated to the state. You couldn't get any politician elected on that premise in this country. Like I said, people throw that title around all the time, except they have no clue what it means. People try to get around this endlessly with gibberish about what they think these three isms are , but you can't get past the one tenant above, Without that one tenant there is none of these three.

You think the Dems are correct about everything?
Both sides have good and bad ideas.
Don't be such a partisan.
Your side is wrong about a lot of stuff such as Globalism, New World Order and let's face it, any excuse to rush towards war. Hillary was an absolute war hawk, Obama committed war crimes and Dems also got us into most major wars of the previous century and look at Biden right now.
Until 1883 when a typo changed the nature of corporation's standing in the view of the Federal Government.
Remember, the Revolution was fought against international corporations that were allowed to run rampant over our rights by King George the Third.
The first corporations in the USA were only licensed for one year at a time.
The founders were rightly terrified of the soulless power of corporations.
He is obviously retired, moron.
Americans have much more influence over their government than they did in 1883.
What was the typo, and why didn't Congress amend the law to correct the error?
But it wasn’t until the 1886 case Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Rail Road that the Court appeared to grant a corporation the same rights as an individual under the 14th Amendment. The case is remembered less for the decision itself—the state had improperly assessed taxes to the railroad company—than for a headnote added to it by the court reporter at the time, which quoted Chief Justice Morrison Waite as saying: “The Court does not wish to hear argument on the question whether the provision in the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution which forbids a state to deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws applies to these corporations. We are all of opinion that it does.”
In later cases, this headnote would be treated as an official part of the verdict, and Waite’s conclusion reaffirmed in subsequent decisions by the Court, from an 1888 case involving a steel-mining company to the 1978 Bellotti decision, which granted corporations the right to spend unlimited funds on ballot initiatives as part of their First Amendment right to freedom of speech.
How the 14th Amendment Made Corporations Into 'People' - HISTORY
LMFAO.
You have to be joking. We are now a police state ruled by an Oligarchy.
Politicians do not follow the will of the people, Lobbyists write the actual laws, Congress just votes on them, and certainly not with the will or desires of the people in mind.
