    Probably the same tax money that made those rich folks richer all these years.....that should have gone back into the economy instead of their offshore bank accounts.
    If the rich want to move...let them...but they wont. They own this country...and they are the ones responsible for the corruption.

    Those folks you're saying are going to pick up the tab for your pipe dreams had no problems offshoring their wealth and businesses and already own homes outside of the US so tell me how a progressive government is going to force them to pay. They'd just shelter elsewhere until the US came to their senses and rejected the progressive clown show.

    I already told you...."If the rich want to move...let them...but they wont. They own this country...and they are the ones responsible for the corruption."
    The rich wont go anywhere or change their methods until their corruption can be dealt with....which is highly doubtful.
    Another way would be if U.S. implodes....the rich might try to find a safer place to hide
    As long as the rich are in control, everything remains the same.

    I believe all those "rainbows" as you call them below can be accomplished....
    First the corruption must be dealt with effectively. You seem to be saying that the rich will always find a way to beat the system....
    I agree with that.....just like a virus can mutate to continue its destructive nature.
    So the remedy is to stop the virus...stop the cause of the destruction.

    I see an IDEOLIGY, that provides the basis for various political opinions. Progressivism is the ideology that drives identify politics, racism, a collectivist utopian fantasy, anti-God and anti-christian bigotry, and the phony anti American narratives.

    It is my observation, that the tactics and practices that define Satan, from an historical perspective, are the same as modern Progressivism.

    Your 'Far right!!' enemies are a bogeyman.. an invention of the progressive left to fear monger people into sheltering under the wings of the Progressive elite. In actual practice, the 'far right!' bogeymen are indistinguishable from the progressives. Their core ideologies are identical. They are not for individual freedom, personal sovereignty, human equality, due process, and freedom of conscience, but oppressive control, by a ruling elite.

    ..as do i.

    The term CONFUSED can be applied to the content of the OP and all subsequent attempts at "clarifications".

    You can distort my points, accuse me, and revile me all you want. It only reinforces the point of the OP, that Progressivism is a deadly evil of humanity, that is inspired by satanic principles.

    So the OP is SCARED of a handful of "wealthy liberals"?

    :roflol:

    Hardly seems to be worth invoking Satan and preaching asinine sermons of extremist fundamentalist dogma for such an INSIGNIFICANT number of people.

    Surely there are more than enough evangelicals to OUTVOTE them at every turn.

    Why get so worked up about something that small?

    None of those things are ever going to happen as long as they are handled by Democrats. Look at how Obamacare trashed our health system. Jonathan Gruber, a principal architect of Obamacare, admitted that, in order to get it passed, the law was made deliberately obscure and deceptive.He said, "Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage," "Basically, call it the 'stupidity of the American voter' or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical to getting the thing to pass." Obamacare was sold on a pack of lies, This is how liberals operate in everything they do, it's all politics, all of the time, it matters little to them when what they do hurts Americans. The same is true regarding the cost of drugs, they've told us for decades they're going to do something about it, no they're not, the pharmaceutical companies contribute heavily to the Democrat party. Low cost quality education? You get neither from the Ivy League today and never will, Harvard has an endowment of over $40 billion dollars and still receives federal funding. A combination of undergraduate and graduate degrees from Harvard costs over a quarter million just in tuition. Why? California just admitted that Green Energy is a farce, how much money has been extorted from the taxpayer by the Green industry? Clean air, clean water? When was the last time Democrats delivered on that? You want to stop corruption? Start with the Liberal/Marxist/Progressive Democrat party.

    If the biblical deity is OMNISCIENT then what he did in the Garden of Eden is ENTRAPMENT since he KNEW beforehand that they would fail the test.

    The "original sin" is the one that their deity is guilty of because he set them up as patsy's.

    .off topic.

    The subject here is Progressivism, and the similarity to satanic tactics and agenda. Specific religious beliefs are irrelevant. You can believe that Satan was a literal entity, or a metaphor. It is the correlation, listed, between satanic practices and Progressivism that is the topic.

    ..'Patsy's' ? ;)

    You actually BELIEVE that pablum?

    But wait!

    You just accused the "rich folks" of being the EVIL "progressives" themselves so WHY would they leave what they believe in?

    The term FLAILING seems appropriate.

    You've identified problems yes...but the corruption is not exclusive to one party. You must first examine your bias.
    tRump did not lower drug prices...did not give us better healthcare...did not clean the swamp...etc..
    Admit that both present political sides are to blame...until you can see your own part in the problem, it can't be solved

    Pointing out that the CONTENT of the OP is confused is NOT an ad hom but that appears to be your goto kneejerk response to everything that exposes the FALLACIES in your OP's (plural intended).

    Mocking a poster's reply is not a 'logical rebuttal'..

    ..except in Progresso World..

    What is the appeal? Are satanic practices more fun or effective than reason?

    Absurd. Of course it is. You merely ACCUSE, 'confused!!', without any rebuttal of the points in the OP.

    It is a demeaning smear, not a logical rebuttal. You merely illustrate the OP, with your progressive tactics.

    Pointing out logical INCONSISTENCIES is a REBUTTAL.

    But don't let LOGIC get in the way of your illogical belief in "satan".

    The OP is CONFUSED because it PROJECTS all of the FAILINGS of the current REGIME of your wannabe Fascist-in-Chief onto Progressives WITHOUT any shred of factual substantiation to support your bogus allegation. Quoting from your bible does not count since you NEGATED it as "irrelevant" in one of your "clarifications" of the confused drivel in your OP ranting screed.

    Those problems are all Democrat in origin especially the swamp. My bias if that's what you want to call it, is based on political facts. America always does better during times when the right of center are in power.
