During the lead up to the French Revolution, the 3rd Estate (peasants) were made to pay taxes on land while there was multiple exemptions for land tax for the wealthy.

Waiting for a discussion of how current Proposition 13 reinforces or is different from the land taxes in France pre-1700s.......

Why does everyone want to fan the flames of division left over from the last 8 years.

Alinskys 13th commandment making them do it?

We should not hate the politicians. We need to not polarize, not hate as Alinsky has suggested in his 13th commandment. We need to set aside politics of division and polarization. It worked - a little too well.

We need to be principled as a founding father - set aside politics - the election is over.

Remember, Lincoln realized that Slavery was wrong, had a heck of a hard time getting every to agree, had a revolution over the matter. He was Republican - and he was right, just very unpopular....

Yes, it is a very different world today than it was late 18th Century France, but plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose, right? The common man's tolerance of unfairness vs his fear of those in power has changed little. If anything the balance is more tenuous today. Most of the "poor peasants" this time around can not only read and write, but also took a shower this morning, have mobile access to front page news and instant social access software, and would perform well against many of the rich and lazy on intelligence tests.

The government is still favoring the Have's over the Have-nots because they know the latter would spend the windfall on real commodities rather than any investment that can be artificially inflated.

The American Screwed-Over (SO) can and will yell just as loudly as anyone in Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy or Ireland. The Chinese SO are finally learning how. Were you convinced the Chinese man's fear of their government was boundless? You were wrong. The number of labor strikes in China escalated by 100 percent from 2012 to 2014, and by another hundred percent by mid year 2016.

The fundamentals of today's riches are based on currency manipulation and asset class favoritism...all over again.

-The US cannot outsource our way to prosperity.
-Walmart being the #1 employer in 19 states is similar to a French "3rd Estate" condition.
-The US cannot graduate record number of lawyers, humanties, while Indian and Asian counterparts take up the most positions in Undergraduate/Overgraduate Sciences/Medicine.
-The US needs to get back to the progressivism that got the US into technology and manufacturing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_Era
-Bringing back jobs to the US is only sustainable way to stabilize the middle class, and create opportunities for the entry level classes.
-Liberal Elistism in our inner cities, the malivestment and concentration of taxable resources is being wasted on cities vs. spent on infrastructure. Malivestment cuts across political and class boundaries.

This is so much like 1700 France, which at least had been been through the enlightenment, buoyed by Napolean to correct the other factors that layed liberty aside until the people did rise up. The US would not be free republic today if not for Jeffersons working with the Montesquie. Also the statue of Liberty was the greatest gift - dont think we could of realized it at the time! Liberty, Egalitarianism, and Fraternity, dont leave home without it.

Based on his cabinet picks, the monied interests are very well represented. Corporate America is dancing in the streets.

Based ont he corporate donations to the election cycle-hedge funds and wall streets donating close to 100% -we know which party candidate they supported.
Based on the action he has taken so far, we know who is supporting. Dems could lose a generation by their foolishness.

They supported the party that they thought was going to win. As they always do.

Not sure what you mean by the action he has taken so far? You mean handing over Treasury to Goldman Sachs? Handing over State Dept. to Exxon? Appointing a warmonger AG that supports the police state taking innocent citizen's assets with no cause? Hiring a corrupt Congressman who is not only bought and paid for by the Health Care Industry, and not only traded on inside information, but actually made policy decisions to help the companies he invested in so he could further line his pockets. Not to mention his tax policy--which is a giant middle finger to his voters.

Dems could gain a generation by Trump's foolishness. They just need to get out of his way and let him eff up.

joeyjojojunior says

Nah-they always hedge. As for the rest-blah, blah, blah. These are people immensely successful who do not need to do favors to maintain the jetsetting lifestyle. Liek trump who has created so many jobs already-maybe they made their money and now want to do some good for America.

Unlike the dems-where politics and lobbying are the means to their lifestyle.

Ahhh, here's another of her blabbering, clueless statements.

She is such an embarrassment. On behalf of all Californians, I apologize to the American people.

Ironman says

President Obama’s 1,385 commutation grants – which includes 504 life sentences – is also more than the total number of commutations issued by the past 12 presidents combined. (Kinda like adding MORE debt than all the other President's combined, too).

And with today’s 64 pardons, the President has now granted a total of 212 pardons.

Most of them are probably his "sons" It's a family thing.

Update: 60 Democratic lawmakers now say they are skipping Donald Trump's inauguration ceremony on Jan. 20, a number that grew Saturday after the president-elect dismissed a congressman who is a civil rights icon as "all talk."

Trump does not care. He is hoping they never show up in Congress too.
By the way, what percent of the democrat lawmakers does the "60" represent?

It's sort of like asking for an abortion before you are even pregnant.

There is 194 Dems in the House right now, so it's almost 1/3 as of right now. I'm sure by Friday it will be more.

Nope. They will go back to their old digs, and do what they do best. Be criminals.

Republican can do nothing. They have to take it.

He definitely should not have commuted the sentence of that treasonous tranny.

Meh I'm not really all that upset. I needed a few more targets.

The only ones stupider than Maxine waters are the imbecile blacks in Inglewood who continually vote for her in the ignorant belief that she represents their interests.

I take that back. The rich white people in Playa vista who vote for her are even stupider...perhaps almost brain dead.

Wrong again... Same weather as the Bay Area (where most of you knuckleheads live) but at 1/4 of the housing cost of the Bay Area.

Did your jealousy just increase??

Dude, please. "NJ has the same weather as SFBA" - is comedy gold right there.

As for cost of living there: the property taxes are twice the national average (and no protection of Prop13), there is also state income tax (albeit slightly smaller than in CA), higher heating costs in winter, higher cooling costs in summer, fucking toll roads everywhere, fucking humidity... fucking snow... fucking Dem majority in both houses since the start of the century with no end in sight... fucking snow again! Yeah, that shit is as jealousy-inducing as colon cancer....

I don't see any serious differences between these two Dem-infested states. But if your campaign of persuading people to move from SFBA to NJ is successful, I'll be first to give you a standing applause.

Trump doesn't regret shit because HE DOESN'T GIVE A FLYING FUCK!
