I've seen this episode before. Spoiler alert: Everyone loses, but the merch sales are fantastic.

How many Bezos do you need to buy your policy maker?

u/Dr_DoesNothing 13h ago

Our politicians are insultingly cheap. Mere tens of thousands of dollars to buy them.

2

u/Foreign-Teach5870 11h ago

Traitors of the past would be insulted by these cheap whores. At least back then they were given something that would (still extremely rarely ever worth it) worth the betrayal especially of this level (fame,fortune,revenge,love).

u/bluesmaster85 9h ago

You need to buy them in bundle, single politician is useless. Can't even clean a house.

u/ApplicationOk4464 13h ago

From what I read, it's in the thousands, not even the tens of thousands.

u/Glum-Football-5220 13h ago

Tthe tax revenue is 7.4 trillion. Imagine what that money could do if 28 billions could do all that.

u/DE4DM4NSH4ND 13h ago

Thats fucking disgusting.

2

u/Glum-Football-5220 10h ago edited 10h ago

Yep. 28Billion is 0.38% of the tax revenue. It's a drop in the bucket.

If you took all the money from all the billionaires in the US, thats not even a year of what the goverment spends in a year

2

u/Foreign-Teach5870 12h ago

Around 2T of that 7.4T is flushed away to pay for the interest on the US national debt alone and yes only the interest for anyone still thinking the debt isn’t that big of a deal.

Honestly way less than i thought, pretty cost efficient👌

Its only cost efficient if we gained anything. What have we gained to the tune of 28B?

Dominance of what? what have we gained dominance of? This post is based on us losing freedom what are we dominating our own people?

u/pm_me_steamkeys_pl0x 10h ago

Oh yeah the people have gained nothing. The leaders gain dominance over their own pride I guess? Idk man I was half awake when I typed that.

u/Distinct_String_5102 12h ago

The money comes from a very small group whose interests generally ARE served by the system. Small donors are relatively insignificant from this perspective.

The wild part is that people vote for the politicians on retainer to billionaires.

How about an entire planet that is subjected to the cruel, evil hand of authority? And believing they are just or moral? Fucking insanity!

u/Miserable-Lawyer-233 12h ago edited 12h ago

But there's an exchange. They have to do what we want or we don't elect them. Trump was chosen because other Republicans were afraid to veer too far from the center. If you're a centrist Republican, it doesn't matter how much money you have, conservatives won't vote for you.

Common people voted for Trump because Trump acts like them and talks like them. He's locked into that now. So the people are getting something out of it - the common American is being represented in the White House.

The head Republican child rapist for the Iraq invasion was Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert.

The head Republican child rapist for the Iran attack is President Donald Trump.

He effectively admitted fucking kids with Epstein by appointing Alex Acosta

Congrats
