The community for creating a new US political party, so far our guiding principle is that billionaires are trash, United Health CEO had it coming, The Adjustor is our mascot and our main raison d’etre is to shit on the rich and take back whats rightfully ours.

That doesn’t sound like an especially productive party identity 😅
Anger and vindictiveness hardly sounds like a plan for solving the problems at the root of the anger
Agreed. I haven’t been paying attention to community bot, and it arrived at this one without me realizing it had it in the queue.
Consequences. All our lives we are taught to be very careful because life has irrevocable consequences to our actions. Don’t break the law, don’t work an easy job get an education, don’t do anything dangerous because maybe you can’t afford a deductible if you have insurance, pay your taxes otherwise the IRS will come after you. Rules. Consequences. But not to them. Not to people making more in the first day of the new year than the people they rely on to support the infrastructure. To them there is a better more gentle justice system, social system, and quality of life. To them failure is a badge of honor leading to a better life, not sleeping in a ditch because you failed to find a living space that allowed for you to buy food
If it was a simple as forcing people to live by the same rules, it would have happened by now. But any human system is inherently flawed because it has humans in it. Corruptible, bribe able, blackmail able, selfish humans, and the systems integrity cannot be guaranteed when enough corrupt individuals exist that nothing tangible will occur. It’s why the Democrats are fighting to keep the status quo, and Republicans act like things were better at some intangible point in our past, Corrupt. We have reached the point where the rules are being broken, no one in power will raise more than a finger wag against them. The Consequences fall on the actual owners. We the people. Billionaires(and up) are not a race, they are not a species, they do not deserve special treatment over any regular person, because that’s all they are, a regular ass person. Unfortunately with the billionaires writing the laws, rules, and paying whatever “feels” right for everything, everything else suffers. They had a chance to pay corp taxes, they lobbied and had it changed, they had a chance to pay good wages instead they got in bed with blackrock to ensure their wages stayed just low enough their “well paid” technical employees couldn’t afford a home, maybe a mobile home. They had chance after chance. It’s not “they had it coming”. What other damned option does any of us have at this point? My step mom died from cancer after working most of her life, medical bills took everything she had saved and a fair chunk of what my dad for retirement. What they paid in medical bills was probably equal to what a low paid CEO makes in a year. What other options do we have?!?! Actions. Consequences.
