Sorry This: I think if George Soros was doing for a liberal Justice what Harlan Crowe is doing for Thomas the House would be doing an investigation and right wing heads would explode.

I'm sure some heads would explode if Sotomayor started vacationing with Soros. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icanthearyou 4,464 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 The more capital inserts itself into politics,,, the less justice, the less democracy, the less equality we will have. As our population is divided,,, capital conquers. We are too ignorant to understand the real enemy,,, Wall St. They no longer have any conscience.

Society has no power to challenge the economic status quo as long as society is divided by the distraction issues. We are fed a steady diet of distraction.

The economic system, the government have to balance the interests of society and capital. The power of capital must be contained in any system. I think income equality/inequality is a key metric. The trend is a key indicator. Any system can be good if it is fair, equitable, rewards innovation, focuses on BROAD prosperity, dilutes power. No system is good when power is concentrated. Power corrupts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
