Sinema in league with big business! Hypocrite!

Both her and Manchin, needs to be thrown out of the Democratic party!

You have absolutely got to read this! 

If this isn't the most disrespectful and insidious thing that trump has done, I don't know what is! 

These men need to be immediately given to the Taliban if this is true. They should have their citizenships taken away and removed from the country. It's the most un-American thing I think?

I Imagine that this is just business as usual for the Trump administration. What is alarming to me isn't that Trump is a scoundrel but that our DOJ isn't at all interested in that kind of justice.

Please read and try to see the message!

My grandparents are all from socialized European countries and I spent months and some years in those places. 

I wish Americans could experience the freedom of Europe. You really almost always feel stress free. You pay a single tax and your health care, vision, dental, education needs mostly, almost everything is taken care of. Govt that works for you and not you for it! 

Except for traffic cameras which are blatantly advertised, you can't really miss them, I cannot remember stressing about anything else. 

I would honestly pay fifty percent of my earnings in taxes for the same here. Denmark and Sweden are the best. UK the best to live because there's so much to do and experience.

"socialism" is spit out like a dirty word against anyone that wants a safety net.  We saw that in Trump's mid-term and in 2020.  

We could do the same...health care, child care, education, but we don't have the will to shake off the power of the 1% like Scandinavia did, make them pay a lot of taxes, raise taxes on ourselves, and cut spending in places like the military.  It would take a revolution of sorts and really, but even Democrats are possessed by the 1% or special interests.

So apparently it's been Sinema who's been holding up Biden's agenda. 

She sits on the republican side of the aisle, she still hasn't said what she wants changed and seems mostly interested in going to fundraisers with big business. 

Pelosi needs to play hardball. Reduce her staffing budget and start investigating her ties to big business and leak the information to press gradually. 

Sinema likes the background where she can get up to her shady dealings. Put her daily front and center in the news. Expose the cockroach's hiding place and put her in the spotlight. Question her abilities and expose the businesses she likes to fundraise with. They would quickly distance themselves from her. 

Her opaqueness is her Achilles heel. Democrats should have thoroughly investigated her before getting behind her. It's called due diligence!

Most Americans have no idea what democratic socialism even is. They don't do things that way in cowboy country and that is that.  It's not a panacea but live surely is more pleasant and far less stressful.

Believe me it is more pleasant. Capitalism runs hand in hand with socialism catering to every segment of society. 

It's because we are inherently selfish people that people don't actually want to realize that America is actually a socialist country. Govt supported military, Medicare, Medicaid, veterans, taxes paying for roads, hospitals and in fact every aspect of American life is in some way funded by our taxes. There isn't a single private company that isn't sucking up grants, exemptions or lobbying for Govt sponsorship etc. All socialist behaviors! 

But I like the republican way actually now. My overall code is to lean towards evolution, and republicans are willing to kill and extort their own which is typically evolution MO. If only every antivaxxer or stupid person could be made to sign a disclaimer to not seek or be given Govt aid because of their decisions, I would be a republican immediately! 

The only problem is my stupid morals and ethical makeup keeps holding me back. I would love to be brainwashed to get rid of values etc because it is holding me back from achieving so much. I have all of the right qualities to succeed spectacularly, except I am being held back because I can't exploit people and it's driving me crazy!

You might enjoy reading The Underachiever's Manifesto by Ray Bennet, M.D.  Please don't go crazy because you have too many scruples to exploit people.  Imagine the guilt you would experience if you did!  Ethical behavior can be problematical but it's what separates the wheat from the chaff (aholes:)  The pandemic will cull some of the unethical people who have no interest in protecting their fellow man, so maybe there is a God afterall.

Evolution doesn't care about ethics or morals. And I completely understand that humans have only succeeded because of rules and cooperation and looking out for each other. 

But we have a weak justice dept that Biden's pick is heading up that doesn't look out for liberals or Dems or morally engaged people. We follow the rules and get shat upon. So why follow the rules? 

Except for my family, women, children and my patients and it excludes repeatedly stupid women, I honestly don't care too much about others, so why should I be constrained by my ethical, moral codes? 

I so badly want to sell republicans all the *** products that their fellow republicans are killing them with and I have the money and infrastructure to do it, and I can't do it because it might hurt them. I am a stone cold capitalist, but I have to pay my taxes and contribute and all of my fellow businessmen just laugh at me for being a bleeding heart. It's absolutely maddening that I can't take the next step because I am so much more talented than they are. It always comes down to what will my parents think of me! 

It's like living with a Jekyll and Hyde personality!
