Let’s talk about the Democratic Party threatening Zuckerberg… $400 million was spent to keep the truth about hunter, joe and covid banned. Let’s not forget another huge campaign supporter, every Indian tribe with a casino… I wonder why they were open during the most deadly pandemic known to man.. It’s a mystery! I’m so glad that the covid BS happened. It opened our eyes to all the lies the democrats are capable of. Any media that supports them, are owned by them.

They’ll have to step over our corpses first. This nation won’t turn into a communist cesspit—not while we’re breathing, and not unless they claw our guns from our lifeless, unyielding grip.

Progressive left hypocrisy is insane. Decrying ‘fascists’ while pushing cancel culture and thought police tactics. Zero self-awareness.

"Cancel culture" yet who are the people who are imprisoning protestors without trial? Who are the people doing Nazi salutes on national television while using the same rhetoric against immigrants that Nazis used in the 30s and 40s?

Like you say- zero self awareness

Yet he has spent much of his wealth working to bring good to humanity. You cannot say that about other extremely wealthy individuals. Plus he has paid more in taxes than any other US citizen

What good did he bring? And, sorry what taxes did he pay because last time I checked his two largest businesses are literally built and still function primarily off of government subsidies. Your taxes are literally going to support his vanity projects.

Is it fair to lump Musk into the same category as Zuckerberg, when it is his #OpenSource Tesla ventures that are propelling us closest to mankind’s opportunity for what Tony Seba calls #StellarENERGY?

VINCE:

Even Macron, who is no right wing fanatic, recognizes the need to be comprtitive internationally and in May 2024, Macron made comments during an interview with Bloomberg at the Choose France summit on his openness to cross-border banking consolidation within the European Union. He suggested he would not oppose a major French bank, such as Société Générale, being acquired by another European bank, like Spain’s Santander, as part of fostering a more integrated European financial market.

Because they cannot compete with the top American Banks

Why don’t you volunteer to go work in DOGE to find waste, fraud and abuse AND SHOW HIM HOW YOU WOULD DO IT “BETTER”…. Because as it has been it that led to 36 trillion in debt, including 5 trillion in untraceable payments, we funded opium growing, and so many stupidities…and a government personnel records filing system in manila envelopes in a cave in Pennsylvania that cost $100 million to attempt to digitize several times, and they are in the letter “A” still. IT IS RIDICULOUS HOW WE, THE PEOPLE AND OUR CORPORATIONS ARE BEING TAXED, only to then go BURN OR STEAL OUR MONEY!!!

You can DO this VINCE! DO IT! Instead of vilifying the source of America’s wealth: innovation in corporations, the majority of which FAIL!

I find it sad that the Right accuses the Left of the very thing the Right does. The Right needs to get out of the Fox/Newsmax/Joe Rogan bubble and listen to both sides and think critically. Before your Right brain explodes all over your keyboards I do read and watch media from both sides of the aisle and it’s obvious that the conservative media are mouthpieces for the Trump regime.

I watch from both sides of the isle and even more so, new media. I find the main stream media, msnbc, cnn, nbc, bbc, , etc. Yes even Fox speaks lies at times. As far as Fox being the mouth piece for President Trump. It is good that one news station is fair and balanced towards his administration. All the other are openly vehemently in opposition of EVERYTHING. They genuinely hate him so much they push lies and when called out they never acknowledge it. They just move the goal posts over again and again not realizing most Americans see exactly what they are doing. The rest of Americans are like sheep easily lead by the msn.

Fox News is an entertainment network, they don't do news. I'm not going to convince you but I just want you to know that it is capital P Propaganda when they're excusing disappearing innocent green card holders. You enjoy the spectacle of what they're saying that's why you watch. It's pop politics not factual reporting and analysis. They know you'd rather watch The Five rant about whatever nonsense to rile you up more than factual news coverage. You don't live in a movie. I hope one day you're able to deprogram.

Scott Galloway is not the person that you go to for this nonsense. He’s been proven wrong so many times in economics. It’s unreal. If he was really up for debate, he would’ve not tucked his tail and ran off of X because he could not take the criticism. Much like people on the left he wants an audience that’s only filled with people that agree with them. And you wonder why the Democrat party is seen in such unfavorable polling. The pessimism and not taking any responsibility has given the Democrats a 21% approval among the electorate.

His views are very dangerous and typical of the left. Globalists. They want to destroy our country, our way of life, our freedoms. I have never felt the need to amass extreme wealth". I don't mind people who have worked hard for their money to become extremely wealthy. If they choose to hoard it that's on them and their conscience. I am a big supporter of those that use their wealth to better society like Elon Musk. On the other hand people like Soros that stays in the shadows causing chaos in this and other countries that is absolutely unacceptable and should be banned from anything that affects our country.

Partially, but not completely accurate! No surprise here. This is what happens when the Left has an opinion that they want everyone to believe. They attack themselves and then the Right, implying that they act EQUALLY to harm this nation. Elon began supporting the Right SLOWLY because he saw so many NEGATIVE things happening on the LEFT. It took quite a bit of time for it to happen. Zuck took no time at all to switch sides, self-serving AFTER Trump's win! lol They did not act the same.... Elon could have gotten just as much or More government MONEY from the Left. He knew it yet he went with the Right because it was the RIGHT thing to do. They are not the same. Have you seen Zuck losing any money being attacked by the Left? Nope, me either. lol

We the People have the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Not given to us by men but the free will and enterprise given to us by God. This whole thing seems to be about men fighting to control men. Limits, forced servitude, equity disguised as the word equality. It's all a lie and forced illusion to the sheep to pick a side that are both missing the mark. Imho

Who are the Russian Oligarchs? They are the Communist commissars of yesterday. Big government is the problem not the solution. Big government leads to monopolies and oligarchy.

No, capitalism left to its own devices will naturally monopolize and form an oligarchy. That's exactly what happened when the government has stopped doing anti-trust enforcement over the last 30+ years. Capitalism is inherently about infinite consumption in a finite world; it's unsustainable. When it begins to collapse it leads to what is happening now– coagulation of government and corporations.

The government isn't "big" or "small" there's no such thing. It either works for the people or it doesn't.

The Russian oligarchs today are not communists by any fathomable stretch. They're capitalists who began to strip the USSR government of power beginning in the 80s, privatizing and liberalizing the nation until Gorbachev ended everything.

When you don't control capitalism and put it on a leash like China does, it consumes your country and its people and enslaves them.

Donald Trump was found civilly liable for the rape of E Jean Carroll in 2023, that is a fact.

Donald Trump was in the Epstein files along with many pictures of the two together. He was quoted in 2002 regarding Epstein, “I’ve known Jeff [Epstein] for 15 years. Terrific guy,” “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

23 women have accused Trump. One conviction. Christians who support him are hypocrites. He paid off a porn star to keep quiet that he slept with her WHILE married. He has slept with the wives of his friends for entertainment. He has committed so many sins in one lifetime it’s unbelievable. See Trumpfile.org

It’s about being American before party— if you believe in justice and truth, do the reading on all sides.

Here’s the crux of the issue:

”While his sentiment is correct, it’s essential to add that this is not just a problem with the tax system, although in an isolated sense it is broken, it’s a problem with capitalism as a whole, where buying the government is an inherent incentive of the wealthy to gain more wealth. “

Capitalism by definition is the voluntary exchange of goods and services for an agreed upon price between two parties. Introducing government influence for incentive is no different essentially than armed robbery. This not not Capitalism but Cronyism.

In a truly Capitalist society it would not be possible for anyone to become this obscenely rich because there will always be competition.

It’s easy to point to greed as a reason to socialize the means of production - as if socialism somehow cures human nature from this ugly temptation. On the contrary, Socialism institutionalizes greed, and it’s not much different from cronyism since it still robs people from the fruits of their labor at gunpoint.

I find it sad that even in America this distinction still eludes general understanding.
