As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”
Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

I had one more article on politics in me so I wrote it tonight. In the future, most of the articles on my web page will be about art. I will post short stories (both comics and prose). I will post an update here and there. Etc.

If you respond to them making it impossible to live on a forty hour a week job by agreeing to work fifty hours a week they'll soon make it impossible to live on a fifty hour a week job. You can respond to that by working sixty hours then seventy then eighty or you can fight back. Fight back!

It's starting to seem like they are expecting us to buy (or rent) all these robots, like they want us to be responsible for these robots at home but send them off to work at their factories. No, bro, you're going to buy your own robots for your own factory your damn self. Not my circus not my robot.

If the way you watch debates is to fast forward through the other guy to see what your guy had to say then you're a doorknob.

The problem with telling people to, "trust the experts," is there are experts in both political parties and on both sides of every issue and across the political spectrum.
Same degrees from the same colleges. Veterans of the same wars. There are economists, doctors and preachers on both sides. (1)

Private Equity Firms should be illegal.
They are buying up everything from apartment buildings to trailer parks to hospitals to residential housing and jacking up the rent and prices. Taking over private businesses and scrapping them for parts. It's a racket.

Trump could release the Epstein files tomorrow if he wanted; he could tell the FBI to release them immediately. In calling for Congress to release the files he's bluffing so he doesn't appear as scared shitless. He will continue to obstruct their release behind the scenes (as he has all along).

We had an amazing turnout over here. They're saying seven million nationwide. I hope people realize it's not just Democrats. Everyone is pissed. Every type of person. Even his base knows now that he lied to them. If we held an election today his administration would be tossed out immediately. Gone.

Some argue we're headed toward a civil war. It feels more like that older war between the Loyalists (those loyal to the king of England) and the Patriots (those rebels fighting for freedom from the tyranny of monarchy). Go back to Britain if you want a king.

Loyalists
The Revolutionary War was also in many ways a civil war. Approximately one-fifth of Americans supported?

I feel like Republicans do have some legitimate grievances but nobody is going to pay attention to them for a decade after this administration.
