You work so hard to try and obfuscate stuff.
Politician in the makings!

Seemed rather straightforward. Guess that explains the confusion. :shucks:

:haha::up:
All the poor in capitalist systems are only temporarily impoverished, they sure will be millionaires tomorrow. Making believe them this works since centuries, for the few rich.

When a poor man (or woman) who has never known wealth gets mad at either other poor people for being poor or those attempting to help the poor for not being too poor to help then you should probably suspect that they've been sold a bill of goods they couldn't afford. :shucks:

Jeff-Groves 02-06-22 03:30 PM

You'll never convince me a Politician has not Sold their Soul when they take Campaign Contributions and end up Freaking Rich!

Now 'Rich' may mean different things to people.

I'd jack off homeless Guys if it paid $174,000 a year!

The odds of that job opening are rather slim but don't give up hope. :shucks:

"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”

We HAVE NOT reached that point given the inequity between the Politicians and the People they CLAIM to serve.

Arlo 02-06-22 03:42 PM

Stopping short at the politicians when it comes to inequality, I see. Revealing. :shucks:

Jeff-Groves 02-06-22 03:44 PM

Well. I wanted to keep it somewhat simple for Buddahaid to try to rebut.:shucks:

Arlo 02-06-22 03:56 PM

Actually, you seem to be using false narrative in your 'points' by avoiding the obvious. Try asking the right questions and you'll see more opportunity for realistic answers. For instance: who has the most financial clout to buy politicians and what politicians are the richest on the hill, as a result? Trying to twist it to dodge reality tends to backfire.

You can hate AOC all you want but don't try selling everyone the bad bill of goods and expect others to have faith in your 'product.' Campaign funds from average Joes that support her efforts and dark money finance (like McConnell receives) are false equivalencies. :shucks:

Jeff-Groves 02-06-22 04:04 PM

I have no opinion of her to be honest. She's just a convenient example.
Hell. I don't even pay attention to Who is controlling the Hearts and Minds of the people.

I'll be dirt napping long before it all comes to a head anyway.
:O:

Arlo 02-06-22 04:09 PM

She was one of the most inconvenient examples you could have used, especially with more obvious ones glaringly available. Just sayin'. :shucks:

Jeff-Groves 02-06-22 04:12 PM

Yeah but they had all kinds of Videos posted about her.
Just trying to keep it relevant to those.
Sorry to inconvenience you.

Arlo 02-06-22 04:26 PM

They? It's not so much that you're 'inconveniencing' me as you are trying to convenience 'they.' :shucks:

I saw that! :arrgh!:

What I fail to see is why support the erosion of a middle class for one larger lower class and the one percent overlords? Their wealth has grown dramatically in comparison over the past several decades at your expense.
