If I understand correctly, you're misunderstanding his frustration. He doesn't need an explanation of how the situation plays out in the current economic system. He's frustrated that the resources are available to fix the problem but the current economic system is flawed and doesn't efficiently apply these resources.
Not only does it fail to be efficient, it's being exploited.
And the billionaires are not just empty, but hungry.
Billionaire Bailout Bill?
I am also crazy and most of my stars end up inverted.
I think it's also that each individual person is so isolated and each small geographic region has such a lack of interconnected community. Each individual person, no matter how well armed or courageous, is nearly powerless against these organized paramilitary occupying forces in their communities.
A couple dozen guys with rifles and body armor, an armored personnel carrier, breaching charges, a surveillance drone. You'd think Osama bin Laden was in that house.
Good call. I forgot to take the standard deduction. Doing that brings my calculation down to 37%.
It's really not. We pay a shit-ton of tax.
If you're single in CA, earn $150,000 and own a home (although the property tax only contributes a few percent), your tax burden is 40%.
Total=59,553.67
59.5/150=39.7%
But hey, at least this isn't one of those European countries where they provide great social services but tax you like crazy! /s
Do it. Do the right thing for the wrong reason, you giant man-baby.

Its easy to call! You just get some intern on the phone or their voice mailbox. You say something like, "Hi, my name is whatever, I'm calling from wherever, I want to encourage [politicians name] to oppose Senate bill 690, the corporate cover up act. Please protect my privacy." And then they say, "OK, how do you spell your last name? Thanks for calling"
Its not hard to do. The government feels crazier than ever. Make your voice heard!
Once you've done this, you'll realize that it's also easy to call your congress and house of rep members to encourage them to oppose attacking Iran.
From the article, "the advocacy group Demand Progress Wednesday, urging Americans to call 1-833-STOP-WAR to connect with their representatives and push them to support war powers resolutions."
I called this number, gave them my zip code and they automatically connected me to the offices of my representatives to leave a voicemail urging them to support a war powers resolution to stop a war in Iran.
It was super easy. A phone call is worth 1,000 emails.
Needs a few of these little guys!
