When socialism comes to America..

It seems like not just his policies but actually moving forward and taking action seem to be gaining popularity.

Just the opposite

You're right, they need to flip the Capitalism and Socialism labels. elon's been sucking off of the government's socialist teat and keeping the spoils to himself for a long time.

You mean the socialist Cuba that Lil marco and ted "Boobs" cruz's parents fled?

But hey! We have Indy car races in our capital and look at that stock market! I don’t know if I can stand much more “hot” from the U.S. of A.

A top 5 reason to implement a wealth tax is related to this point below about China eating our lunch. If our super rich class was leading the world when it came to frontier industries, that would be a strong case to let them keep cooking.

Instead, their focus the past 15-20 years has been on building monopolies and moats, propping it up with ever-more-absurd financial engineering, media consolidation with the aim of stoking culture war and blunting criticism of Israel, which for some odd reason is supposed to be a national priority for us — all while falling behind China on robotics, batteries, EVs, and so on. We’re barely winning on AI if at all. They cheered as Trump effectively repealed the IRA, the biggest investment in new energy production in decades, and are now crying that there isn’t enough energy production for their AI.

If our billionaires were winners, we might consider defending them.

But our billionaires are losers, in several senses of the word, and they embarrass us on the international stage. A wealth tax will take them down a few pegs and hopefully let some winners rise up. We no longer have a meritocracy so it’s time to strip the participation medals from these monopolists.

So no, a wealth tax is not punishing you for your success. It’s punishing you for failure. Don’t like it? Stop losing.

Not sure if it was the parents or the grandparents, but they definitely got the heck out of Dodge…. Just like they’re doing in New York and California today.

Except the fled Cuba in 1956 and 1957 when Batista was in charge, 2-3 years before Castro took over. They fled a crony capitalist authoritarian regime.

Nope

Idiotic Dems who have no ideas and no policies that work and blame Trump for everything…. just like you

Thanks TDS 88 for helping put this lying clown in office

Tell Chang to pat you on the back

Awesome! Now we just need to start doing the work to get back to being a real capitalist economy.

It’s good you’re studying up on Marco, our next president!

And now that you’re more up to speed, tell us about the time a few family members went back to Cuba and couldn’t wait to get out of there and never go back again…

Also, Marco’s extended family ran into a little trouble with the law back in the cocaine cowboy days of the 70s in Miami

Are you saving that for when he’s the president?

Marco will be dragged down by what he’s been required or chosen to do under Trump. I hope he wins the nomination.

Why do you hope he wins the nomination?

[kalm]

Marco will be dragged down by what he’s been required or chosen to do under Trump. I hope he wins the nomination.

Why do you hope he wins the nomination?

Because he will be a weak candidate and this government needs to be swept clean of all MAGA and Trump appointees.

So racist !

Name a stronger candidate

Just Dance would be an even weaker candidate.

That’s he’s Latino, Captain Obvious? Note, you didn’t back up your point or explain it. CH caught again trying to be clever.

If the party doesn’t convince the base to separate from Trump in time, there will be no strong candidate.

So you’re comparing just the MAGA GOP (no never Trump conservatives) to ALL of the possible Dem candidates?

You might be missing my point here.

Govt social programs costing far more than people were told they would? I‘m shocked I tell you.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s universal childcare plan will cost 50% more than he advertised, according to a new study.

The proposed program is estimated to cost a whopping $9 billion annually, approximately with an average cost per child roughly $27,000, according to the report from the Center for New York City Affairs, a nonpartisan research organization affiliated with the New School.

“An estimated $8.7 to $9.3 billion would be needed annually to fund universal child care in New York City,” the report, which was released on Monday, states.

That’s $3 billion more than the mayor previously said his ambitious universal free childcare program would cost.

Hizzoner promised on the campaign trail that his plan to make childcare free for children from 6 weeks old to five years old regardless of family income would cost about $6 billion per year and be paid for by taxing the state’s wealthiest earners.

The $3 billion gap identified in the study was largely tied to teacher pay, with the Center for NYC Affairs estimating some 23,000 new childcare workers will need to be hired, mainly for infants and children under three years old.

The city also needs to create about 10,000 new seats for children younger than pre-K, the researchers projected.

The report also noted that the city, in the 2025 fiscal year, budgeted $2.5 billion and ended up spending $3.8 billion on childcare services.

This is emblematic of the regular under-estimation of service delivery costs,” the researchers noted. “Therefore, the City will need to identify at least an additional $4.9 to $5.5 billion to sustain a fully universal system.”

Rolling out the program is essentially impossible without major support from the state and federal government, the report noted.

City Hall has not said how it plans on paying for the program beyond taxing the rich and asking Albany for more money...

Funding issues and late payments are threatening the rollout of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s free child care system for 2-year-olds, two weeks before the program is scheduled to begin, day care providers said.

Many early childhood centers have yet to receive funding to buy classroom furniture and basic supplies like pencils and paper, or to pay newly hired teachers and assistants. Without the money, several providers have warned parents that the centers will not open when school starts on Sept. 10.

Because of the delays, city officials had encouraged providers to apply for interest-free bridge loans from the city — not just for 2-K programs but also for 3-K and pre-K programs. But many of those who have applied for the loans say that money has not arrived either, forcing them to take out high-interest personal loans, borrow from relatives and drain their personal savings.

Just like with ‘free‘ busses, govt run grocery stores, and now ‘free’ govt childcare. Mancommie finding out socialism is hard.
