Take a breath, Len First, to repeat, the American Revolutionaries were not terrorists, for reasons stated in the previous post. You should respond w. apology or justification. Was that a dumb thing to say, or do you know something I don't? Second, it isn't the wealthy or the corporations that are the problem, since they are owned by 76% of the American people anyway through their pension funds. Being "sold out" is done by the politicians who make decisions contrary to their consituents, out of ignorance and greed. These are governmental policies here, not free market ones, that are damaging our country. If the Saudis want to build a "European society" in the desert, they sure are going about it in a strange way, with Wahabiism, which doesn't allow modern inquiry and education. I don't know where you get your ideas, maybe you can link some facts. As far as Trump, the world doesn't need Trump. The banks might have wanted him to not fail, but that's fine, it's private enterprise, and it seems to have worked out. The tax system doesn't support squandering oil per se, altho' you are right about the home mortgage deduction and homes being one of the few wealth-preserving investments we can have, in a country with combined national-state-local tax rate of 40% !!! Taxes are like wet cement - ever try to run in wet cement? Like waking up on Saturn where you weigh 40% more, it's hard to get up in the morning.
