That is true for some countries (russia and china come to mind) but has nothing to do with the left and everything to do with authoritaritan regimes. In the US you at least currently can directly use your money for politcal power, see elon musk.


That is where you are missing the point. Nothing last forever, authoritarian regimes can change. Democratic societies can also change.

Rome doesn't last forever, the British Empire didn't, The French didn't , the Greeks, The Han, Tang and the Mongol Yuan Dynasties, The Imperial Tsar and most recently the Communist and Marxist didn't etc etc

A miscalculation or misstep is all it takes.

As for your comments and your worldview, I am not trying to give you any advice, I mean who am I to do that.

But let's take one from Churchill.

The further you look back, the further you look forward. :thumbsup:

I am not missing the point, I just think you are wrong.

You just completely ignoring the good economy that he inherited eh? :rofl:




And you're living in a fantasy world.
Obama took the COLA (Cost of living allowance) from the social security recipients, for THREE years.

No one has ever done that before. That really hurt the entire senior population of the US.


His Obama care was a rip off. It wasn't... free, and the price skyrocketed every year, for the entire time it was in effect.
The prices for medications skyrocketed during his 8 years too.

Obama hurt the US a LOT during his two terms.

So don't talk to me about Trump inheriting a great economy. He inherited the remains of the the disasters Obama left in the US.
