Private School Advantages vs Public.

[Thunder_struck8712]

Explain to me why the wealthiest were supporting D party then. I know you want me to know my place in society. Work my 50 to 60 hours a week and know my place right. Why was my paycheck better from 2016 to 2020. It’s not like we haven’t had 8 years to compare. Wonder why MY Teamster brothers the rank and file supported a certain person.

Do you realize the 3 wealthiest men in the world are going to be front and center for the inauguration? With all 3 donating to the inauguration and the wealthiest of the getting an office in the White House?

You might want to look at your paycheck. Your tax rate hasn't changed but who are you going to blame when the tax cuts expire this year?

You shouldn't have to work 50-60 hours a week. No one should but if y'all don't stop giving into these corporate oligarchs, we all are going to be doing that in order to survive.

Go back to the fact you and your wife are ok with her wages for her position and the fact you're probably ok working 50-60 a week. It's amazing that people like you want to sit and blame the government for their struggles but not companies that stagnate wages for the bottom line and top. But the government is your wife's issue with her salary, but that's not a major problem?

Eggs aren’t expensive for me

I'm out of the conversation because we've gone down the path we all know we're not supposed to go down. Hope I didn't come across as trying to disrespect you, not my intention. Have a great weekend.

I haven’t blamed the government for anything. Where I live the government doesn’t affect you to much. I work for one of the best companies in the world. With my job you might work 50 to 60 hours a week. When you get your Amazon pkg at your front door you can say thank you. 2 of those men have always donated more to the other party. Lucky for you that you have the Soros family plus others still.

Democrats do you not realize all the lies you have been told the past 4 years? A president that was incompetent and a vice president that was not qualified. She changed every view she had from 2019 to get votes but it backfired. Trump won by a landslide and Republicans won the house and the senate. America spoke and destroyed the woke. Let's be honest its all corrupt. As for Tariffs Trump did it the first time in office and it worked. Be honest guys we were a weaker country under the current President. I was a registered Democrat but changed to Republican. I voted for Obama twice. I voted for the best candidate in the election across the board this time and that meant voting for some Democrats. Trump was simply the better alternative than Kamala. Everyone is entitled to their beliefs and I respect that. I just want for once this Country to come together! Its just my opinion doesn't mean I am right.

Oh, the talking points have gone out. Joe mumbles something about "oligarchy" on his way out the door and NOW it's what everyone should worry about. For years the Democrats didn't notice that the Getty and Pritzker families basically owned their party in California and Illinois, but sure, let's point out the other guy's billionaires.
Hey, 6 of the top 10 wealthiest counties in the country are in the D.C. suburbs and all vote reliably Democrat. They make their money from big government and the Dems consistently propose programs that consolidate power around the Federal government, which is good for their friends in D.C. if no one else, but I guess we're supposed to ignore that.
The Republicans essentially pay lip service to Federalism and smaller government, but I'll take what I can get, at least for now.
If you're serious about learning about the dangers of oligarchy, then "Michel's Iron Law of Oligarchy" is an essential primer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_law_of_oligarchy (it basically says that even very democratic systems eventually become hierarchical and self-serving).
The proposed solution to this problem lists several things that can be done to include:
-"that people be free to defend themselves with weapons" (AHEM!)
-"that there be competition for government services" (which sort of brings us back to the topic of this thread)
-"communities should maintain their own independence and make their own rules" (federalism)
-several other things that are basically what the founders proposed when they set out to form our government, which we've gotten away from.
The Dems are open enemies of the first of those proposals and have been for years and they don't do much regarding the rest as far as I can see.
But maybe they'll take oligarchy seriously now or at least until they can take back some part of the government.

Kamala was not qualified to be vice president and would have been a disaster a president, and far worse than Biden. The Soros family has billions of dollars and has kept the democrats up for many years and Kamala was donated 1 billion dollars from rich democrats and still lost and was at least $20 million in debt over that BILLION dollars she spent. Now let's get back to what this thread is about, Private School Advantages vs Public .

SS is a government ran ponzi scheme. We all could have retired at 50 if we had gotten to invest what we paid in and the companies we worked for matched throughout our working lives. If you've not worked that's a different story.

Just had this discussion at breakfast. Most folks are not disciplined enough to invest the money. They would probably have spent it on vacations and cars. In the end we would be paying to take care of them anyway.

Although I agree with your post, I know what the average person would do the extra $.
