The rich got control of the country and are sucking it dry, leaving us with nothing but a poorly functioning country and them with laws that enrich them.

Who's gonna stop them?

>On the latter end, this could include cutting public spending
Or, hear me out, we raise taxes.

>>1458228
Unironically never going to happen. Corps won, we lost. Now we just enjoy the slow descent I guess.

>>1458228
Well, raising taxes does solve everything.
I'm not sure what the problem is, but as long as it's not taxes on imported goods, more taxes should fix it.

>>1458230
Yes, taxes on economic transactions are bad, actually. Sales taxes are also bad. Taxes should be on the accumulation of wealth, such as property and income taxes, or to incentivize societal reform, such as sin taxes.

>>1458230
Head taxes are also bad, btw. I mean you would have to be a complete buffoon to not understand how government collects money matters to society and some methods are better than others. A 7 year old could grasp that.

The dollar index went off a cliff when Trump took office and hasn't recovered.

That's true, but that's not because of the debt-to-GDP ratio. Honestly would've expected much worse given all of the tariff fuckery. But I guess the established channels through which wealth is extracted are sufficiently important to the stakeholders that they are inclined to keep things as stable as they can, for as long as they can.

Any regular /biz/raeli will tell you it isn't as bad as it was in the 2008 housing crisis when big banks were failing every month, but it will get that bad again if the AI and housing bubbles burst. Big investors like Softbank and Peter Thiel are just now starting to dump their NVidia stock so it looks inevitable, which is adding fuel to recession/depression rumors.

Everything has been massively overvalued for quite some time now. AI hardware bubble could pop the moment the moment someone makes the next transformer-level breakthrough. Building AI agents to comb the world to identify said breakthrough before anyone else does would be one way to go.

The top rate of tax in the 1950s was 91% and Republican voters were all for that or they wouldn't have voted in a Republican president twice. It worked then, so there's no reason why it shouldn't happen now.

LOL, LMAO even, maybe even ROFL

>>1458299
nyc is not america and the mayor is not that powerful.

NYC is part of the state of New York thus part of the United States, Mayor Zohran Mamdani has the power to scare rightards or they wouldn't be bothered by him, and the retard between this post and >>1458299 isn't American.

>>1458331
idk why you think i'm right wing or anti-mamdani

I know why that which is between this post and >>1458331 can't think. And certainly isn't American
