The RNC is slowly being dissolved and will be promptly replaced by the DNC as the dominant conservative party.

Took over the Democrats? Bill Clinton gleefully gave them the party and theyve been shifting further to the right since

The governments solution will be to start offering 40 year mortgages. Do nothing to make housing affordable, just extend the time to pay it off like they've done with auto loans going from 60 months to 72 months terms.

Pressure public opinion? This implies that politicians and government gives a flying fuck what we think. When one billionaire has more political influence than millions of voters they don't care what we think. It's not like this is new news that nobody has heard of before. We've known this for decades, and nothing has changed. Even if they were taxed accordingly that money would not be reallocated to helping the working class.

Taxing the rich to save society is based on the assumption that taxation is required for the government to spend. The government can create money on a whim when they want it.

When they havent changed the qualifiers for poverty in decades, it makes it look like it has decreased. The simple fact that our wages are stagnant, housing is unaffordable, our quality of life has significantly diminished.

The total amount I paid for my house in 1992 would not even be enough to cover the down payment for that same property today.

Poverty is a policy choice.

Look at them not paying taxes

Despite them enabling the tax laws which allow them to pay no taxes. This is more political theater

Democrats have and always will have a rotating villain to blame when they don't want to pass something. The same way they will always have party sheepdogs
