The point was theories don't always work out or turn out as planned. The Democrats are free to spend as much as they want and free to tax as much as they want too. The government is already bankrupt and unable to fulfill it's current obligations, so what the hell, they might as well bankrupt it some more at this point. It's hard to listen as your busy talking. The Democrats aren't paid to listen. The Democrats are paid to talk and sell their foolish and short sighted ideas to the general public/public sector which we know is largely Democratic these days. So, how are the blueish cream puffs doing these days? Are the cream puffs still clinging to Biden?

I agree that theory doesn't necessarily align with reality, but that's always true.  Case in point: we've had 50 years of lowering taxes and regulation on business and the rich.  Has any of that proved more beneficial than the era that proceeded it? The data say no. In fact, the opposite is true. So much for that theory.

Realistically speaking, we've had 60 years of supply economics (1961 to present). JFK proceeded Reagan with the use of supply side economics. He got the ball rolling so to speak. Prior to that, we had forty eight years of progressive economics (1933-1981) and an additional 40 years of progressive economics coinciding with supply side economics (1981 to present). Did you get vaccinated yet? If you did, do you view it as more beneficial or less beneficial to you than anything developed by the government during the era that proceeded it. How bout an MRI or a CT scan and computers and today's internet? So, where does a multi millionaire like Pelosi or Biden or Obama or Bernie get the silly notion that our money is somehow or another their money? Don't they know that we aren't their husbands and wives or one of their over protected/spoiled kids? Don't they know that they're all rich people who could own schools instead of multi million dollar homes and private jets? F them.

What's mine is yours, what's yours is mine mentality is pretty Beaver Clever era and out of touch with the times aka old fashioned don't you think considering we live in an era where divorce and independent men and women who are able to provide and support themselves or each other are common as in we see it and know of it a lot. Take me for example, I don't need a motherly type woman to cook and clean and wash clothes or stroke my ego and help me feel like a man. I can pretty much take care of myself and I'm pretty confident and comfortable in my own skin as you should already know. The benefit of being a latch key kid with hands off working parents, you learn how to do things for yourself and fend for yourself young vs learning it after you leave the roost. I don't know many latch key kids who were boomerang kids.

As far as the money they represent, the Republican base alone (60 some million) could match them and bankrupt them. What's 60 million x $1000 minimum? According to Alexa, the answer is 60 billion dollars. I don't know a Republican voter who couldn't afford $1000. So, what are the Woke corporates and billionaires going to do when their looking at that amount of money? Since lying, manipulation and intimidation are OK with the Left and the corporate Woke's and directly associated with they're way of life and fancy lifestyles, a whole hog terror campaign directed at them and their business's is acceptable. Now, the Republicans themselves are going to have to prove that they're reliable and able to be down right mean and ruthless. Tough to do with a handful of cream puffs in the senate and a group of cream puff/go along to get along dupes in the House. I heard Trump will have his own platform up and running soon.
