I like his ideas I'm relation to some of it but he never says much on how he will do it Well looks like someone is trying to do something about it and give some help to the people who are getting screwed. Evil as it may be but sometimes people just want basic stuff like medicine and education for their tax dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are real jobs, being a politician is IMO not a real job it's something done for a short period of time once you have some success in life to help your fellow citizens.

Do you actually know anyone getting screwed or just people that don't actually want to pay their way in the world? Actually I do know plenty of people. I know people who cant afford both their medication and mortgage each month. I know people who cant afford treatment for their cancer. And before the ACA I knew alot of people who couldnt even get insurance because they were uninsurable due to pre-existing conditions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you amass enough wealth to retire early you get to participate in government as a hobby? Do you want an even worse oligarchy than we already have?

Are Americans this clueless with wealth accumulation? Give it a try..... you proposed a million or 2 in retirement at 70 is easy, which it is, and you could draw on that and make a killing for 20 years even if you made no investment gains on it.

We do it for presidents we should do it for all federal offices. Most states have it for governors as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"WE" are doing shit. Its a stupid argument because "WE" cant even vote for our own best interest and you think "WE" are going to implement term limits?
