Tax increases are going to happen with or without the green day. It won't matter whose president our damn deficit isn't even backed by a currency anymore. It hasn't been since Reagan did away with the gold standard. It's nothing but paper. Within a few years to a decade it won't even be paper anymore nothing but digital numbers nothing. There is no longer anything to back the us dollar but a gentleman's agreement to pay it back.

That is one part of a multi-part problem. Because of this debt the US has no solvency. Like you said, it is backed by the vacuum of space - nothing. Pile on top of that the politicians dream for the government to grow and grow and grow until it OWNS everything. Sickening. Absolutely sickening.

SSgt (Join to see) - We live in a dynastic oligarchy made up of some 47 super rich kings and some 130 billionaire princes who rule for the most part and own the main stream news media.
The richest one tenth of one percent of Americans own 17% of stocks
The richest 1% own 50% of stocks
The bottom 50% own 0.7% of stocks
From 1979 to 2019:
• wages for the top 0.1% grew more than twice as fastThe top 1.0% saw their wages grow by 160.3%; and
• In contrast, those in the bottom 90% had annual wages grow by 26.0% .


If worker compensation had kept up with productivity gains since 1968, the current minimum wage would be more than $24.00 an hour.

We are in an ideological war on science. Over population is one of the big problems. Global warming is a very serious threat to our industrial civilization or worse. In addition we are running out of cheap oil and natural gas. Whey you have to pay $15.00 per gallon for gasoline, you won't be able to give away for free your large pickup trucks.
