That's about the most absurd text I have seen today. A moderate is named a Democrat by you because they do not believe in voting for criminals, liars, racists, and rapists? If you would select a decent human being as your candidate, I'd probably vote for him or her. Instead, you put up one of the most disgusting pieces of garbage in America as your candidate. I disagree with your economic policies because history shows they frequently result in revolution and communism. I am definitely better off today than under Trump, as well as your last disaster, Bush. It appears to me that most of your post is based on nothing but your imagination. And we had over 11 million illegals here back in the 60s and it did not do significant damage. Yes, I prefer to send most of them home, but your fellow Republicans refused to pass the legislation that would have improved the situation. And fuel prices are rising as a direct result of Russia and Saudi Arabia helping trump get elected. Saudi wants Trump in office to stop the aid to Isreal and Putin because he wants Trump to stop aid to Ukraine. The Saudis and Russia reduced their production of oil for the exact purpose of driving up the price of gasoline and blaming it on Biden. Do you have any idea how many of the claims in your post are totally bogus falsehoods from right wing pundits who are paid by the wealthy to lie to you about Biden and trump so you will support trump? Personally, I cannot respect anyone who can lower their standards to vote for a proven criminal, rapist, liar, and fraud.

And I agree that freedom is essential. And I suspect that our major departure in viewpoints involves economics. But, freedoms should not be used to hurt others or their freedoms. And it is a fact that uncontrolled capitalism has frequently led to revolt and initiating a communistic form of government. Examples include Russia, Cuba, China, Viet Nam. Cambodia, and others going back into feudal days. Therefore, for capitalism to flourish in an environment of freedom and equality for all citizens, controls are necessary to maintain an acceptable level of equality and an acceptable standard of living. The consequences of failure to do that have proven to be horrible in many cases. Over the last 55 years, it is my opinion that insufficient controls on American capitalism have been in place to maintain a stable economic situation. The standard of living for workers has been gradually falling since about 1968. In that period, the already wealthy have increased their share of all the wealth in America to approximately 50 percent from the 35 percent in the 1960s. The working class, of course, lost that same percentage, resulting in a significant reduction in their standard of living. Fact is that today, nearly 40 percent of American workers are paid a wage defined as below federally cited poverty. I suspect what is going on in America today is the civil unrest due to the continuing loss in quality of life in the working class. I have cited, in articles in this forum, the reasons this is happening and the laws congress has passed at the behest of the wealthy and corporate interests that are directly responsible for the losses to the working class. I predict that if this doesn't change in the not very distant future, civil unrest will lead to civil war. Fortunately for me, I will be in my grave before that happens. At least I hope that is the case. A republican said it best. See the memes.

Trump and the Republicans didn't flood the country with millions of illegals to replace black/hispanic workers "that's your guy Joe and company". Trump and the republicans didn't take away law enforcement in those communities, that was your guy Joe and company, Trump and republicans' didn't drive economy to the point that Black Americans can't afford to buy a home, that was your guy Joe and company. Notice how everything that has gone south in Joe's preseidency is blamed on Trump or the virus? If inflation is down after being driven up by Biden's policies, that still doesn't make it better then it was, paychecks are certainly not growing faster or keeping up with inflation as they were under Trump. No matter what numbers you put out there for inflation and stocks, out lower income brackets are not benefitting "you can't feed your kids number's" and the poor and middle class are not living off returns in the stock market.
