100% and with the help of a sycophant Supreme Court whom I believe can also be intimidated. Judges Thomas and Alito are jokes.
Quick question to people in chat as I don’t work in Toronto. What are high paying jobs in Toronto and what is considered a top 1 percent salary and what would the title be.
I just can imagine the highest earners in Toronto making close to even the median in Manhattan. People keep saying they make a lot in here but doing what? I just find it hard to believe. Is it just older people or retirees who have built up 7/8 figure savings? That would make sense.
Not trying to make fun but genuinely curious.

Crazy that these right extremist pieces of poop all think we liberals are poor folks living out of food stamps. What's wrong with these idiots? Imagine me, like you, not only I am richer than them but for my age still in pretty good shape and good-looking. 2 things they never had.
No but be serious. Do you think all of Trumps supporters are the redneck Maga people you see at his rallies? Most of us can’t be seen at these rallies, you do realize that right. Tech, bankers, many people who are at the top 1% supported Trump.
Very ignorant way to build self confidence for yourself.
That's the problem dude. America was great when there was not that 1% that possessed everything.
Functionally the post-war period. 50's to 70s'. Then a TV star became president and eroded many of the gains made by workers, while shifting the overton window pretty far right. Took another 20 years to get rolling, and it's gone out of control in the lat 30:
Visualizing Wealth Distribution in America (1990-2023)
Wealth distribution in America is becoming increasingly unequal, with the wealth held by the top 0.1% reaching its highest level on record.

And yes, many in the capital class WOULD support trump. all those silly worker protections are limiting the size of their yachts. Easier if we estabilish some kind of Labour Front and allow the Capital Class to dictate the terms of employment.
The Nazis Stole May Day, But Socialists Took It Back
To win over German workers and replace their socialist loyalties with fascism, the Third Reich made a Nazi version of May Day a national holiday. But the real International Workers’ Day is the one that lives on today.
jacobin.com
" Hitler expressed his intention to rescue the holiday from the clutches of radicals who had perverted its meaning, turning Germans against one another when they ought to be celebrating their shared heritage and traditions instead. “The symbol of class conflict,” he said, “of never-ending strife and discord, is now becoming once again the symbol of the great unity and uprising of the nation.”"
" A new slogan was chosen for the holiday which appeared to elevate the working class without promoting class conflict: “Honor the work, and respect the worker.” Hitler stressed that the reimagined holiday would both celebrate German workers and represent cross-class German unity, saying, “It is necessary to teach each rank and class the significance of the other ranks and classes.”"
" On May 2, 1933, the day following the first Nazi May Day, brownshirts stormed the offices of the country’s trade unions, confiscated their funds, and arrested their officials. Independent trade unions were thereafter banned in the Third Reich. They were replaced by the German Labour Front, whose flag depicted an industrial symbol encircling a swastika. "
Up until 1970, real wages in USA were steadily increasing., Since 1970, real wages in USA have not increased.
You are right.
There are all kinds of psychopaths walking amongst us.
Obviously, the oligarchs and well off people are greatly benefiting from a Trump presidency. Their wet dream is substituting the income tax with a consumption tax (foreign revenue service).
I guess everybody has to decide if they go for personal gain or what is good for everybody.
You have to go for personal gain. This progressive stuff isn’t working. Their idea of what is good for everybody is good for nobody.
Dealt a good hand or not, we are all adults, nobody is going to pick you up and save you. Things were much worse for the average man pre-war industrial period. This comfort we have is a relatively new thing. All it’s saying is you can’t become a liberal arts major or slack off in life and still be able to buy a house and live comfortably.
I don't have to. It is a personal choice. If not for the fact that most rich people value societal health over short term personal gain, we would all be much worse off.
Actually, have you heard the expression:" When the tide comes in, all ships rises". A more equal society is a safer and more productive society, hence beneficial to all.
your far beyond 'curious' penis parker. Just because you only make $20 per handjob at the local truck stop doesnt mean there arent a lot of successful people around. Canada has the 9th highest GDP in the world. which is pretty impressive considering they have the lowest population in the top 11 countries and the next smallest population is Italy with a lower GDP and 20 million more people.
Exactly, the tide is the economy and we are the boats. If you’re a US citizen, you have to hope that he can make America stronger economically (infrastructure investments, tariffs, lower taxes for companies to come in and create higher paying jobs) - yes I know these are all controversial.
All boats will rise and some will rise much higher than others (the wealth disparity you speak about). However put yourself in a good position and you will benefit when this tide rises.
While socialism aims to raise everyone collectively, if poorly managed or overly rigid, it can overwhelm individual initiative, innovation, and efficiency. Who wants this.?

While communism has not proven itself to be successful, a socialistic modified capitalism seem to be working very well.
The problem with a naked capitalistic system as in USA, is that there are large inefficiencies caused by the large inequalities. Crime, drug use, unemployment, uneducation and incarceration. A large percentage of the citizenship is not productive, but instead a burden on the productive sector.
None of those three things are mutually exclusive, you realize.
I have to admit it is refreshing to see someone so blatantly all in on hierarchy and submission to authoritarianism.
So many people try to hide it, but you're just right up front with the "he is superior to us" stuff.
I mean, look at this.
That's really refreshing in its honesty.
(Or it was until you chickened out and edited your post to remove it.)

How badly did you fail grade 10 history?
Trump inherited Obamas economy and crashed it before covid hit. This time he's inheriting a much worse economy and knowingly crashing it.
Reaganomics has been in place for 40 years and things are measurably worse.
And as part of your reply, please tell us the origins of the Laffer curve.
