No, Donald. America's Not A Communist Country. Know How I Know?

[TrollBuster9090]

America's not a 'socialist country.' Know how I know? Because, if the United States were a socialist country, YOU'D be paying your fair share of taxes, just like the rest of us.

America's not a 'communist country.' Know how I know? Because, if the United States were a communist country, YOU'D be in a 're-education' gulag, learning the proletarian virtues of labor, by scrubbing floors.

Nope. America's still a sterling example of a gilded age capitalist society, with massive wealth inequality, and regressive tax rates. Where billionaires pay an average of 13% taxes, compared to the 40% tax rates paid by the people who trim their hedges. Where the top 5 richest families have more wealth than the bottom half of the country. Where the economy is no longer diversified nor innovative; and we're rapidly becoming specialists in just three things. Oil, weapons, and prisons.

And for the record, I'm in favour of mixed, free market economies.

But I have to say that, thanks to asshat billionaires like Donald Trump and Elon Musk, they're moving the 'revolutionary threat meter' from 'French' to 'Bolshevik' real fast!

2. IQ45 is flailing so hard, like such a pathetic cheeseball ... it's almost sad to watch

I'm kidding, it's fucking hilarious

4. He still plays a TREMENDOUS air accordion, that I can tell you. nt

10. From what I understand, it can be REAL ugly for people with NPD

when their stick-boy fantasy universe comes crashing down around them, and they finally realize ... they're not actually all that special.

Supposedly it's pretty devastating

11. LOL

And it blows a lot of hot air....

3. He "betrayed" them by not pardoning them.

He’s full of horse shit.

13. They wouldn't be in jail if they hadn't listened to them. He's 100% responsible.

5. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that his fair share of taxes is probably zero

I think he’s lousy businessman living off of loans that he should never have received, and that his losses probably exceed his gains. Every cent he actually spends, is an « expense. » If you borrow $4 billion, but already owe $5 billion, you’re still down a billion—maybe as much as nine billion. If you’re a 76 year old con man whose every business undertaking fails, how much are you making? 90% of zero is still zero.

9. I dunno - " If you borrow $4 billion, but already owe $5 billion, you're still down a billion. "

I think you're actually down 9 Billion...but you have just bought some time to find another sucker to borrow more to cover your debt.

12. That occurred to me, too, after I posted it.

Check the edit (gmta).

6. Key phrase - "in my opinion"

Everything else he says means nothing.

7. Sounds like a call for another insurrection,

but how many will respond?

[OAITW r.2.0]

14. Sure does.

Not really veiled, either. Might be another documented charge to add to the growing pile.

19. Yeah Yeah.. "So much winning" Asshole.

[SunSeeker]

20. Are they tired of winning yet?

22. Upside down world.. Orwellian

Up means Down.. Winning means Losing.

21. If this was a communist country

I suspect he'd accidentally have fallen out of Dump Tower over 30 years ago.

[Justice matters.]

23. Straight out of a hitler speech book.

The only Communists are those few who get tax breaks after tax breaks, with tax-code loopholes to not only pay zero taxes, but also to get huge million-dollars "refunds" they never paid to begin with. It's a small Club, and we're not in it.

Get ready to face Justice, disgusting hair furhair...

24. He is almost comical in an evil sort of way but ...

when he does not win the republican nomination or does not win the election, he has many wacko followers who have listened and will continue to listen to his crazed rantings. What violent action they take as a result of his rantings will not be so comical.
