The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Speaking for myself....

I'd love to see Woke Corporations and Woke Billionaires taxed.

Funny part is OUR side --- protects them when a majority of them are NOT on our side. They're only being fake an behaving now out of fear of Trump)

I dunno.....

As more Americans get sick of "I paid my bills this month" being the American dream----- if someone charismatic that doesn't talk own to people says "Tax Bezos, and your problems will get better"---methinks a decent chunk of people we least expect....will go into the closet and vote for it.

I'd double down....

Billionaire tax.

Anyone with more than a Bachleor's degree -- 10% Social Security benefit cut ---with the money going to fatten benefits for the lower end. (see how them engineers and IT people writing posts about how Bush Sucks.....like that one ;)

Then perhaps let's unionize tech companies and finally....a $25 minimum wage.


Schumer will beg our mercy not to go thru with it....

So will Ro Khanna......


And they're the party of the rich.

Right now, we wave a flag. The Democrats say "Gay" "Trans" "Muslim" ---we win. Then we stick it in the mile class's ass...... then Dems win (see Obama....) and the cycle goes on.

We're lucky we own SCOTUS for awhile because.......we're begging for a Left of Center America to take hold.
