Wow, you are so impressive. Have you been president yet? Are you a billionaire? I'm not either but I'd love to hear how your theories worked out for you in the real world. Plus you can post all day on CD. Please share your wisdom with us. Maybe give us a link to your book of success secrets. Or are you just another brainwashed Joe the imaginary plumber.

I don’t even want to be a president. Even I want to be, nobody is stopping me but I still need to convince other people to vote for me.
I agree with Bernie, & the latest member of the AOC socialist squad, Jamal Bowman, when they say the current system "enslaves" the 99%, and is only working well for the Elite top 1%.
Its a newer softer rendition of slavery, but it shares some of the same characteristics as old school slavery.
To a great extent, Trump, Rand Paul, The Tea Party, & myself, are saying something very similar...we are way too heavy at the top with income, wealth, & future opportunity. A barrier has been put into place between the have's & have not's...we call it "the swamp", others call it "the elite's".
We are all working on the right problem...the same problem. Income & wealth gaps that prevent many in the bottom half from saving for their futures, and moving up the social ladder. Even the top 2%-49% are having to struggle harder to stave off the top 1% to maintain their way of life.
Our proposed solutions, differ in this way....
...Bernie, AOC, & the squad feel our free market economy system has failed, & socialism is the answer. They have lost all faith in our system, & our leaders, so they want a re-set.
...Trump, Paul, the Tea Party, & I, feel the original system that America was founded upon was excellent, and got us this far, but Washington DC has been changing it for 200+ years into the convoluted version we have today; that is failing us. It has evolved very poorly into something almost unrecognizeable from where we began in 1776 w/ Declaration of Independence, 1787 with the Constitution, & in 1791 with the Bill of Rights.
I believe the 99% can force a return to the system, as originally crafted. I don't think the people we have in DC today, will ever do it. They must be removed, & replaced...en masse..peacefully.
The 99% needs to flood the zone with new candidates for every political office in DC. The 99% need to vote for their/our own candidates, to get all the incumbants out.
To be frank, our system is enslaving everybody. For example,
- the minimum wage law makes those who can’t produce more value unemployable.
- the licensing laws prevent more people from doing what they want.
- regulations protect big corporations and prevent small businesses from competing with them.
- the property tax laws make private property ownership obsolete.
- the income tax laws force other people to pay for the lazy and unproductive.

I am not god. I can’t have everything I want.
So who is stopping you?
That's a ridiculous question, which you already answered for yourself. But the rich can have everything they want, and we pay for it. So why does a person who is not rich defend them? Keep slapping yourself on the head. Maybe some common sense will accidentally get in there. You can't convince anyone to vote for you for president, but if you are rich you can pay others to do that for you.
That's a ridiculous question, which you already answered for yourself,. But the rich can have everything they want, and we pay for it. So why does a poor ****** defend them?
What are the things the rich can have but you can’t?

Seems like you answer every question with another question. Have you been living in a box? You can't figure this out for yourself? What can they have? The presidency. Their own senators and congressmen. A police force that actually defends them and responds to their every need. The best education money can buy for their children and grandchildren. Unlimited money. Big houses all over the world. Servants, cooks, personal trainers, chauffeurs and limos, private jets, yachts. Contacts to allow their children and grandchildren to get top paying jobs without any experience. And like the mafia they band together and protect each other.

You do understand that you have to earn that, right?
That is besides the fact that 80% of rich people are self-made and first-generation, and 70-80% of them lose their wealth by the third generation and 90% by the fourth.
So what the hell are you talking about? You need to go to North Korea to find your communist rich hating ideology.
