Socialists Saviors

 

Politics is changing.  It does not take a brain surgeon to see that.  It is changing because of Capitalism and the fact that over 80% of the population is not financially well off or secure at all.

For example:

1% of the population are super wealthy

9% of the population are very wealthy

8-10% of the population are wealth

20% of the population are average

60% of the population are poor or very poor

98-100%

Granted these numbers may be squeed a little in certain categories but the top two percentages are damn near perfect.

How has capitalism influenced politics?

Well...

because of the difference between the wealthy+ and the rest of us, some of the rest of us are reaching out to SOCIALISM in the hopes that socialism will balance out the financial equation.

SOCIALISM presupposes that more taxes from the wealthy will allow everyone else to have more.  Unfortunately, the wealthy re-locate if and when taxes are raised locally.  And, raising taxes nationally, requires Congress, which means BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS must agree to do away with TAX SHELTERS.

CAVEAT:  If tax shelters are eliminated the wealthy will STOP CONTRIBUTING to the re-election campaigns of Democrats and Republicans.

LESSON LEARNED:  Politicians care more about re-election than they do their own constituents.

You will see what happens in NEW YORK CITY, SEATTLE, and SAN FRANCISCO because Democratic Socialists have just been elected to Mayor's offices and they promise to TAX THE WEALTHY.
