1. It would help if you provided specific details or examples, rather than speaking in generalities. Outside of finance, I fail to see how most service jobs make you suffer for their gains. If you think someone charges to much, ask them to lower their price or don't do business with them. No one is holding a noose around your neck telling you who to do business with. 2. I couldn't disagree more. Sure, there are a lot of check cashing places and loan sharks for people who don't want to open a checking account at a bank with all their fees and who don't qualify for a loan at a bank. But again, outside of finance, I fail to see your point. In fact, many service businesses have sliding scales which helps poor people. 3. Aren't you ungrateful? Bloomberg doesn't have to give anything. 30M goes a long way. Why do you think you are entitled to someone else's money? Your failure should not be their loss. 4. Are you going to pay for my investments if they go down the tubes? Then you have no right to my gains. If I choose to give to a charity of my choice, that's my choice, not yours. 5. If you don't like the terms of a contract, don't sign or move on. If your intention is to break a contract you willingly signed, that's criminal in my book and you should go to jail. 6. Now there are different degrees of personal responsibility? What is that based on? How much money the person makes off you? If you don't like the deal, walk away. 7. Antifa is a left wing militant group. They were out in Portland to counter demonstrate against a couple of far right wing groups. In the process, they abused and hurt a few conservative journalists who were there doing business as reporters. I have always been conservative, economically speaking. Where I deviate is supporting single payer healthcare and free college tuition for children of families earning under 125k. I support those two things because that is an enormous expense for families. Moreover, everyone should be given an opportunity to make it or succeed. If you don't take advantage of that opportunity, then it's your problem, not mine. As for the Dems, I will say again that they hardly have an agenda where they have distinguished themselves from Trump.From the little bit I have seen, I don't like their agenda. I don't like Warren and her plan to cancel student debt. I think Harris is a wuss, who can't support single payer healthcare for more than a day once the insurance companies push back. And I don't like Sanders for his big tax on trades on Wall Street. Ditto for the Indy Mayor. As for Biden, he can take his 1.7 T dollar green Deal and shove it. I am not paying for that either. Plus, he is a sexist and racist like Trump, except Biden is more reserved about it. I am not looking for progressive or conservative buddies. I am an eclectic mix since I am a social liberal and a dove foreign policywise. I probably have more in common with liberals but I differ from them in some ways too.
