    It is unfortunate that the two major parties give the voters such unpalatable choices.

    What the rich are thankful for.
    The rich are the common citizens in Western societies. Your average Western citizen,
    be they upper class, middle class or welfare dependent have:
    DIET BETTER THAN THE PHARAOHS OF EGYPT
    HEALTH CARE BETTER THAN QUEEN VICTORIA
    TRAVEL THAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE EVEN TO MERCHANTS TO IMAGINE
    ENTERTAINMENT THAT KINGS WOULD NOT HAVE DREAMED OF
    LIFE EXPECTANCY DOUBLE OF PEOPLE OF THE MIDDLE AGES
    QUALITY OF AVERAGE CARS BETTER THAN THE WEALTHY OF 1920'S HAD.
    ETC..

    Let's not pull what we have down because of envy.

    And who will be in control of the big government, the international corporations of course. Whoever owns them, will own us.

    But we will be happy! :roll:

    Our country grew through small business', and we were the only country in the world with a large middle class. Why do they all have to be bought up or put out of business by the mega corporations?

    Anyway this great reset and one world government will not happen - or at least not for a few decades. But we will be in for a very hard time regardless of who is president.

    In 1953 Charles Wilson supposedly said What is good for GM is good for America. https://www.forbes.com/sites/gautam...-do-during-a-national-crisis/?sh=6ede90986d3b

    And be glad. If we have two parties with starkly different choices then watch out -
    you could have civil strife. Having two parties in broad agreement means society
    as a whole is in broad agreement.
    Remember 1861 USA, Republicans were anti-slavery and Democrats were pro-
    slavery - there was no middle ground. War was inevitable.

    In the meantime Sanders said Trump is cruel for not passing the bill. I guess he feels $600 is enough for those who lost their jobs and have children to support. Romney feels the same way and the Secretary of Finance under Clinton said that even $600 is too much stimulation for our economy.

    STIMULATION? People are going hungry. Are they in la-la land?    [​IMG]

    The Covid plan proved to be inadequate so they have to starve us to death.
