ITT Everyone blames politicians but continues to vote for candidates that put corporate interests over the public. The Tax Cut and Jobs Act is a huge win for corporate interests and the majority of the MISC is right leaning.

It's due to crony capitalism.

True capitalism promotes fair and free competition and allows the market to rule.

We have crony capitalism in this country, where politicians allow monopolies to exist, stifle competition through asinine laws, enforce gatekeeper regulations(FCC is one of the worst offenders), give select companies handouts(mainly banks), and various other things.

Let's not act like the corporations here are not to blame as well. Blaming the nature of corporations is living in an idealistic world where people are not responsible for their actions but a victim of their environment. That's no better than liberal philosophies. While it's not their job ensure fair competition, bribing politicians or lobbying for unfair competition in the name of their own profit should never be acceptable behavior, yet it goes on frequently in the name of "capitalism".

hate to interrupt the important semantics conversation, but true inflation:

Jfl at when everyone gets their annual raise next year and it’s only 3% when inflation yoy is at 8%.

And this is why boys and girls why there needs to be a law that ties everyone’s wage to inflation. A true raise is inflation% + merit increase%.

That's the whole point of the strategy, to keep the poor cuck plebs poor while the elite oligarchs keep getting richer



ayyyyy lmao

Inflation is subtle way to keep people enslaved and working forever

Without inflation someone could easily work hard for 10-20 years put away a million and retire
With inflation that million is worth less and less every second
