United Kingdom

True for Britain as well as the US. The best of the both of us.

Putin, China, Iran, socialists: none of them were necessary to undo 3 generations of western progress. The actual culprits were home grown. The only requirement was for the inheritors of pre-accumulated wealth to take the reins of economic and thus political power. They then simply had to be themselves. Nothing gets fixed until this perpetual national suicide is eliminated. All the problems of democracy stem from ill-gotten gains improperly squandered.

That's what the Democratic proposed tax code is ultimately targeting. The primary sabotage/pushback against this progressive plan is financed by organizations whose executives rake in their obscene incomes by administering those trust-babies' fortunes.

Those old "Smith-Barney" commercials worked better than anyone ever thought. 401-K's have created so many copycats these days.
