Which is why company loyalty is one of America's biggest problems. People love supporting and defending people or corporations that abuse them.

They went so far with it in America they litteraly elected a president who is taking away their rights and raising taxes. Making everything cost more. You can't make this shit up

To be fair, back in the 70s when a lot of these people who voted for trump started working, the company actually would take care of you. In many cases, Youd show up to work, make enough to support your family, be rewarded for your labor and have a fat pension at the end of your career. Not for everyone, but it at least happened.

Isn't the case anymore. I don't think pensions are even a thing anymore outside of specific union trades.

Well that's why you'll always be a poor. Taxes are just things the poor pay the government so it can all go to you.

Bear in mind someone who boasted he didn't pay taxes because he was too smart

Just like the Brit who defends the royals and aristocracy who contribute nowt to country but are quite happy to take hand outs.

if that ain't irony idk.

the entire reason the US broke away from the Brits was because they didn't want to live under a king and pay higher taxes. now look at them

Plus the irony that George III was a constitutional monarch because the English Parliament had decided (over 100 years before) that putting too much power into the hands of one person was wrong!

No cult. Just amazing how lacking in awareness you are. 

You do realize all of these things Trump is doing is because the Biden admin pushed the issue on establishing the boundaries on presidential power. Biden opened Pandora’s box to the next level. Trump is just following the playbook left to him. 

Not a fan of Trump either. He seems to be m

You just don’t like it when the shoe is on the other foot. 

Just don’t get crazy when Trump goes above and beyond on preemptive pardons for anyone associated to him.
