I had my doubts about Schumer but I can honestly say he isn't the absolute worst choice for minority leader.

I'm sure it's entirely out of self interest (which in itself isn't a bad thing, if self interest is leading Democrats toward "hey, maybe we should pay attention to these angry poor people") but dude at least seems to be trying.

Take that fuckin' money and make a better world with it.

Another difference between the greatest generation vs boomers, is the greatest generation weren't obsessed with tax evasion unlike their spoiled boomer offspring who passed big tax cuts for themselves
and also started the whole corporate tax evasion scams.

Tech companies like Google use every trick in the book such as the old inversion trick in Ireland and for their US tax they transfer money to shell companies in no tax states like Nevada to avoid paying State/Federal corporate tax.

I can't remember the last time I was this hyped to be disappointed. There's a chance that it's just some water-down version of the 2016 platform, but the Democrats have been specializing in creating means tested, bureaucratic nightmare policies that help no one for decades. They could really bring their A game.

It doesn't matter how great and powerful you are, because the world as it is, is transient. Even the greatest works of man are eroded by time into sand, and all remaining monuments only serve as a reminder of petty ambition. There isn't any kind of redemptive narrative about Ozymandias himself. If the monuments were to his civilization rather than the man, the end result would still be the same.

The tax code allows it and shareholders require it. The only way to fix it is to get rid of the incentive for companies to do it. As it stands even if a company wanted to be a model of good corporate citizenship they'd just have their market share eaten up by a company willing to use every trick possible to be cheaper and grow for the sake of growth.

I think there may be other reasons why bad dems feel an affinity with Ozymandias (AKA Ramses II, ~1303 BCE-1213 BCE)

he too was a big fan of loving up the Middle East

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.
