President Obama bailed out the banks. President Cheney started a war that netted his company billions in no-bid contracts. Both political parties support a Byzantine tax code that lets rich people and corporations pay nothing in taxes while the working class carries the load.
Both parties have de-legitimized the government by betraying the citizens.
I can’t imagine co-Presidents Trump and Musk attacking the tax code. You can’t legitimize the government without overhauling our system of taxation.
Everyone knows that the tax system is unfair. I don’t blame the millionaires and billionaires for taking advantage of the system. I blame the politicians that haven’t acknowledged the problem and allowed it to fester into a pus-oozing sore.
I don’t hate the players. I hate the game. And the political parties that perpetuate it.
A new political party is a lot to ask for. But I’m asking.
I suppose that would be the only way to finally get at least one politician who is not already beholden to some rich person or other entity (corporations are people, right)? I’d sure as hell vote for ’em.
The two-party systems is in the death throws of destroying itself. Let it.
