My Politics

The price of a candy bar in 2003 was 43 cents.
The going rate at the same store is $1.65.
In 1992 a 23,000 dollar a year salary
Is worth a 70,000 dollar a year salary today.
Amazon pays its employees about 15 dollars an hour.
That is $3.20 today's money.

Inflation, in the past 20 years, is at 300 percent.
Worker pay has stagnated. No, actually stayed at about the same rate.
People today, the average worker, is making about 25,000 dollars a year.
That amount was like making 70.000 dollars a year today
Back in 1992.

The Stock Market is at 31,000.
The super wealthy are getting more wealthy.
And as Cenk said many times,
That the 1950s were a good era to live in
Let's go back to the tax rate of that era.
70% on those making billions of dollars.
Force the big corporations out, 
The little business will get more business.

Not to mention,
There's a nasty fact that Walmart
Had a local trust developed with its 
Local warehouses.
Squeezing that same store
Where I monitored the prices
Out of existence.
Trusts, if you don't comprehend
Are illegal.

Oligopolies ought to be.
But, since perfect formulas exist
The copyright needs to be 
Only in the inventor's lifetime
And unable to be extended
And certainly not valid 70 years
After the death of the inventor.
Who the hell needs the money
Beside the inheritors of that wealth?

And furthermore
Free speech means free speech.
It's the same for a Nazi or Antifa.
It's the same for a BLM or KKK.
That way I'm protected too.
