Democratic House Minority Leader: “America is too expensive”

I'm not a fan of the Democrats and they are a big part of why things are the way they are now but I would bet good money that you're even more lost than them. For example you probably are clueless about Harris and her campaign and what she was running on and what she actually said and did versus the nonsense that's been said about her. I don't like her and I think she was not a good candidate but that's based on reality not based on lies that were said about her in left-wing and right-wing media

He is absolutely correct and the runway inflation was one of the issues that Americans were very concerned about. Run away inflation along with the runaway situation at our border were two of the reasons that are democrat party and Joe Biden are out after the resounding election of a few weeks ago. We have to remember that at the end of Trump’s last term. We were moving forward with an 8% rate of growth and a 1.4% rate of inflation. All of that changed when Joe Biden took office.

*Senator Bernie Sanders on Economic Inequality in America* 1. Wealth Distribution: "A nation will not survive morally or economically when so few have so much, while so many have so little." 2. Political Power: "Are we prepared to take on the enormous political power of the billionaire class or do we continue to slide into economic and political oligarchy?" 3. Middle-Class Struggles: "For 40 years, the American middle class has been disappearing. Millions of people are working longer hours for lower wages despite a huge increase in technology and productivity. And what we have seen during that period is a massive transfer of trillions of dollars from the middle class to the top one-tenth of 1 percent of America - massive wealth and income inequality, where you have 99 percent of all new income today going to the top 1 percent." 4. Corporate Greed: "In the United States today we have the most unequal wealth and income distribution of any major country on earth -- worse than at any time since the 1920s. This is an economy that must be changed in fundamental ways." 5. Collective Action: "Let us wage a moral and political war against the gross wealth and income inequality... let us understand that when we stand together, we will always win." 6. Economic Justice: "This is what income inequality means in America, and why the gap between the very rich and everyone else is growing wider. According to a recent study, CEO pay is now 295 times more than the pay of a typical worker. In 1965, the differential was 20 times. We must create an economy that works for all, not just the top 1%." 7. Systemic Change: "Now is the time to alter our government. Now is the time to stop the movement toward oligarchy. Now is the time to create a government which represents all Americans and not just the 1%... No more excuses. We must all become involved in the political process." 8. Societal Dysfunction: "Today, the United States is No. 1 in corporate profits, No. 1 in CEO salaries, No. 1 in childhood poverty and No. 1 in income and wealth inequality in the industrialized world." 9. Unsustainable Economy: "Today, the top one-tenth of 1% owns nearly as much wealth as the bottom 90%. The economic game is rigged, and this level of inequality is unsustainable. We need an economy that works for all, not just the powerful." 10. "Message to the billionaire class: You can't have it all!"

America is too expensive primarily because of housing costs. Housing costs are expensive because our system of government allows wealthy to set housing prices and rental prices. Wealthy foreigners are allowed to buy houses. Corporations are allowed to buy houses. So the wealthy come in and buy up the housing stock and then set rental prices. What about not allowing foreigners to buy houses? What would that do to prices and rents? What about limiting corporations from buying single family homes? What would that do?

All Tier 1 countries implement some variant of social capitalism, including single-payer healthcare, free community college and trade school, and substantial housing subsidies, as their governments recognize that unadulterated capitalism is ineffective in the 21st century. These countries possess a distinct culture compared to America, as they did not emerge from an apartheid regime, analogous to Jim Crow, which was fully abolished in 1972. Americans will not unite because the majority of Caucasians lack interest in sharing resources with non-Caucasians. The Trump vs. Harris election indicates that 71% of all voters were Caucasian, comprising 37% women and 34% men. Trump's message was simplistic, akin to a fifth-grade level, asserting that if elected as US President, he will prioritize Caucasian families to the detriment of non-Caucasian individuals. Ultimately, 11% of African Americans, comprising 6% women and 5% men, predominantly supported Harris. Caucasians elected Trump, resulting in unprecedented cruelty and barbarism against non-whites in 21st century America in next 4 years
