so rather than just pay a tax like a socialist country would up front, US is now only just surviving on tariffing ..which is paid … by their own people ….as a tax. On top of whatever tax you already pay ……while digging more deficits.

    You know, I used to think that "our children will have to pay for it" only applied to the working class.

    Now I'm wondering if the people in power recognize how this might end badly for their offspring. I hope it does.

    There's a 0% chance I'm going to slave away while some rich family's children live like gods.

    Not everyone got trapped in wage slavery, just the majority of you. Those of us who didn’t still care tho. We want you to have a drug dealers life style without having to sell drugs ❤️

    Unless you're part of the owner class you're a wage slave too comrade.

    Class consciousness is the only way out of this.

    I mean what’s the owner class? I own my house and my car. I own my own farm and water. I farm my own food/tobacco/pot. I own assets and participate in capital markets. I have never earned a wage from a capitalist so idk. We can have solidarity and want the same thing, but like I said not all of us are ‘wage slaves’. I used to have employees and none of them were wage slaves. All my employees paid off their college loans and bought houses, and still had disposable income to party.
