But even more important, I WANT MY DEMOCRACY BACK. I WANT MY GOVERNMENT BACK. I WANT MY CONSTITUTION BACK.
And those projects will take a helluva lot more time, energy, and capital than trying to get back what I spent on tariff add-ons.
So ... can the legislation you propose also include an absolute ban on the current regime doing ANYTHING else by executive order over the next two years? And can it also include an Article III, Section ii, Paragraph 2 ban on the Supreme Court ruling on any new legislation reining in the regime? (It has that right, to withhold jurisdiction from SCOTUS in III-ii-2.)
I'm glad you liked my comment. I also wonder this: while I know that any additional ifor being eligible to be president would require a constitutional amendment, could there be any prohibitions enacted that don't? Such as, "No person found guilty in a court of law of any felony shall be eligible to become president." Or might a state, which regulates the processes of primaries within the state, disallow a convicted felon from being on the ballot? I think SCOTUS ruled on one such prohibition (from Colorado?) not too long ago, but if III-ii-2 were part of a new law ...
Since the late 60s some of us said corporations need to be monitored and if necessary controlled. Monopolies were supposed to go out. The breaking up of Bell Tel was just an example. No one ever listened and now people are acting surprised that big business is greedy. It’s an across the boards problem like with CVS and their other healthcare tentacles. Republicans will never go for that, and everytime one is in office the public suffers. In due deference to Mr. Reagan nothing trickles down. Trump is a whole new ball of wax.. grift to the max.
The USA has been a corporatocracy for over a hundred years, and only weakening a little during the Teddy and FDR administrations. The latter even lived through an oligarch plan to assassination him. Corporations and the oligarchs that own them must have their greed regulated the way the Scandinavian countries do. And no, the corporations have not pulled out of those countries because they still pull in profits, only not as much as the corrupt cash cow that is their owned government - the USA.
I'll make a trade...Impeach Trump and his lawbreaking Secretaries of multiple departments and put them all in jail for their crimes (Trump already has 34 felony convictions.), and I'll happily give up my very legitimate refund. It will be worth every cent!
The answer to that question lies in the fact that our governments federal, state and local are presided over by a two party corporate duopoly system of government. The United States democracy as we know is dominated by corporate power through the purchase of our representation through their adherence to the trickle-down economics theory that Ronald Reagan introduced as our economic standard in the 1980s. Never mind that the international community of economist had debunked Milton Friedmans theory as unworkable in a democratic form of government. All of this seemed fro the Lewis Powell Memo of 1971, a manifesto for the corporate domination over the United States democracy. It's on the internet for anyone interested. Along with the working class disaster of trickle-down economics, Reagan started the past 45 years of deregulation over corporation's, corporate bailouts, taxcuts, and in 2010 the institutionalizing of Citizens United. Some would say it's complicated, but I say not really, if and when interest is given to the state of our political despair.
That’s right the American people are the ones buying this high price stuff
Hey, new Tea Party -- Tariffed Enough Already!

Yes? No?

You're a very smart poster; what do you think?
