You're looking at it from the perspective of the globalist economic elite, who make on average 400 times the salary of their workers, which often amounts to Uyghur slave labor in places like China. During America's golden age that ratio was around 20:1.
So, what you are saying here is that trickle-down economics is a total failure, and we should return to a 90% tax rate on anything over $1,000,000, like it was during "America's golden age"? So that the "globalist economic elite" will put more back into their businesses in ways like employee salaries and benefits, instead of in their own pockets, to reduce their tax burden?

But also, businesses shouldn't pay taxes, and that's why they are moving to Texas, so more money can go into the "globalist economic elite's" pockets?

I've gone from a Marxist to a globalist economic elitist in one post. Who'd a thunk?
You're more of a woke capitalist than a dedicated Marxist.
You are a useful idiot spewing propaganda on behalf of the politically powerful and the ultra-rich who own them. Keep voting for people like Trump and America's economic and intellectual capital will continue to collapse, the national debt will continue to explode, and the nation's wealth will continue to percolate away from the working class and into the pockets of the billionaires.
It's the ultra rich that support the Democrats and provide their financial resources. The actual votes (those that aren't fraudulent) come from the welfare class that for the most part refuses to work or is looking for a way out of it. In contrast for years the chamber of commerce and globalist financial elites funded the Republican party. But most of the actual votes came from the working class conservatives. Trump was the first to support the conservative working classes America first agenda and economic nationalism.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

So, the ultra rich provide the financial resources for the evil, bad, Satanic Democrats, whereas the holy, God-fearing, proud, patriotic Republicans were funded by the ultra rich!

Now I see.

Once again, pick a damn lane!

I'll own that.

Some do. Many others prefer Republicans because the only thing the Republicans reliably do is cut the taxes of the rich and spend obscene amounts of borrowed money on overpriced military hardware from companies that are essentially highly profitable mercenaries.

That's why the most wealthy and educated states tend to vote democrat, I'm sure.

Trump promised the dupes in West Virgnia that he'd save the coal industry. Yet over the course of his presidency, the number of coal jobs went down (when he started campaigning in 2014, there were 18,330 coal jobs in WV. By the time he left office in 2020, there were only 11,418). He is a disaster for working class people. That is why he bases his campaigns on lies, anger, hate, and resentment. Screaming "Critical race theory! Lock her up! America First!" doesn't do anything to support working class America. It might make you feel like there is somebody on your side, but he isn't on your side.

He is the alleged billionaire, but his main business is begging for donations from his working-class supporters. He promises that if you give him money, he'll win. He promises that if you give him money, he'll "stop the steal." It's all lies meant to enrich himself by screwing you.

But send him more money, or the democrats will make your kids gay!

That's a communist solution to income inequality, not an economic nationalist solution. Trump brought business and manufacturing back to America. His policies led to wage increases for Americans of all races, creeds, #%#e*(* etc. What we need is more Teddy Roosevelt trust busting to reintroduce competition into the market, not government wealth redistribution through welfare. What we're getting is an unholy triumvirate of big government, globalist oligarchs, and the media. They are the masters of the universe right now and they need to be broken up. The founding fathers never intended for these groups to be that powerful.
But also, businesses shouldn't pay taxes, and that's why they are moving to Texas, so more money can go into the "globalist economic elite's" pockets?

And it's because Trump didn't impose 90% taxes upon businesses that we actually collected more taxes during his term. Why? Because more businesses came home attracted by lower tax rates.

Trump promised to stop offshoring jobs and bring businesses back to the US. He also claimed he had done so, often when announcing plans to do so. But he didn’t do either. https://www.epi.org/publication/reshori ... ring-jobs/ American jobs continued to be lost to other countries and businesses that Trump announced would be returning didn’t come back.

You're in a fork. You can't "bring jobs back to America" and simultaneously lower prices.

You've been screaming for the last 3 weeks about gas prices while I've been trying to tell you about all the Texas oil workers benefiting from it.

Great, let's keep the competition in the market and let oil prices go where world demand takes it so the oil workers of Texas benefit. Agreed?

In a statement to Variety, Warner Bros said it was "committed to safeguarding the integrity of every film we release" and that that sometimes meant "sensitively" making "nuanced cuts" for certain markets.

"Our hope is to release our features worldwide as released by their creators but historically we have faced small edits made in local markets," they said.

It appears Disney has no problem cutting their queer clips for Chinese children. But don't dare ask them to offer the same respect to American children. Perhaps conservatives need to learn that boycotts will make a difference.

Why don't conservatives make their own movies? you have your own social media platform now, why not movies and cartoons? Since there is no market for the woke stuff pouring out of Hollywood, isn't there a big opportunity for family-value programming?

They're making a wise business decision. Did you forget "COMMUNIST CHINA"? Their movie wouldn't be allowed to show in China without those changes. But don't worry. I'm sure your goal of making America a totalitarian state will someday become reality, at which point your oppressive dictator will suppress all movies that show homosexuals.
