You are unemployed and want a new job, under a Democratic president you have a better chance of getting one!

[Hector12]

Team ???. Oh so you want me to be a team member that shares my spoils with low life's, criminals, poor or bad choice maker's, lazy ace's that won't work in a pie factory, illegal aliens, gang member's, and other walks of life that covet what I earned eh ???????

This is your socialist, communist belief in life, but it is absolutely a farce.

Millions of Americans support democratic socialism because capitalism is not working for them.

The voters, of course.

How, tell us how voters control spending with a vote?

The voters vote for politicians.

For decades popular opinion surveys have indicated majority support for higher taxes for the rich.

voters don't vote for spending. Sorry, they vote for a person who makes deals that may not be a representation of my vote. If the candidate I voted for lost, the person making deals isn't doing it for me. Sorry, you're fking ignorant.

What is grossly unfair is that the rich have as much money as they do after paying taxes.

How is that unfair? Others can do the same.
Getting rich is exactly the same as losing weight. The directions on how to do so are right out there in public view for anyone to have, yet only a small percentage will do it.

Actually, you are ignorant of the way democracy works.

Politico is not a valid source. Try again.

I never said that. The voters in the majority win.

There's some truth in that.

Thanks for the age-old spiel that I got fully hooked into 55 years ago, and was a Democrat & Green for 40 years afterward.

With all the lunacy of the left we have today all this grandiose ideology has been sidelined by Democrats in favor of racist pandering to blacks, pandering to illegal migrants, pandering to sex perverts, and God knows who else, all for VOTES.

Yes, the cost of living today is obscene, but NO, it absolutely was NOT that way before Biden and Trump. As I stated previously in this thread,
housing rents have skyrocketed more & faster that anything imaginable in all my 78 years. My own case is a good example. In 2020, I was paying $600/mo for a 1 bdrm apartment. Through all Trump's years, my rent went up $25 each year.
In 2021, it went to $850. In 2022, $1000. In 2023, $1200. In 2024, still $1200 (100% inflation), but some apartments are required to be renovated, pushing the rent ro $1600/mo (167% inflation).
Apartments that were less than $1000/mo under Trump, are now $2000/mo, commonly.

Dems aren't leftists, they're liberals serving the exact same vested interests as Republicans. Biden has tried to pass rental controls to no avail thanks to Republicans blocking every effort to do so. Hence in that area, Dems are better than Republicans, but the Repubs think allowing landlords to spike rents as much as possible is good for the economy. It's clearly not, because workers need affordable housing, so making housing too expensive for most people, undermines our economy. There should be rental controls, you can only raise the rent a certain % and that's it, if at all.
