re: Louisville Mayor wants federal bailout, if not, taxes will be raised.

Mayor Fischer also known as Mayor McBike lane. Seriously this dude wasted tons of money having dumbass bike lanes painted every 10 ft apart from each other. Him and Beshear are destroying the state. Everything a Democrat touches goes to complete shite

Well, um, that's how it is SUPPOSED to work.

If your LOCAL policies cause you to spend more than you can take in, that's YOUR fault, not the Fed's.

Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer is calling on the federal government to provide relief as he announced a predicted revenue shortfall for the city totaling $115 million from now until the end of the next fiscal year.

If Trump and the Republicans give in to bailing out states on non Corona related issues of their own doing, I’m washing my hands of the entire bunch and will simply no longer take part in the political process.

This is Marxism.

Marxism is a series of philosophical critiques done by Karl Marx. What I suppose is more relative here, was Marx's critiques of classical capitalism and the relationships of class society within capitalism.

Marx never really expanded on his basic theory on capitalism beyond the bourgeoisie - the owners of the means of production (Employers) - and the proletariat - the laborer (Employees).

Marx's position on classical capitalism is that it was mutually self-defeating if not self-consuming, and inevitably required a new form of society via revolutionary transformation, that would inevitably be won by the proletariat class. This was the basis philosophy that spawned Leninism-Marxism, and communism.

What the mudsill theory is, is altogether different. It is not a doomsday critique of capitalism, but of a resolute embrace of capitalism requiring the perpetual class of low-income, poor working people serving as the forever foundation to the elite class of industrialists, magnates, tycoons, barons of industry and wealth and power, as the pillars of the economical institution.

Marxism was the philosophy that the mechanism of capitalism by design and by nature would inevitably lead to the exhausting of both the Earth's resources, and the labor force. That the very "logic" of Capitalism was self-defeating.

The Mudsill Theory was the exact opposite of Marxism. If you mean to say MY opinion of the Mudsill Theory is Marxism, that is also wrong: I've always believed in Capitalism, and think Empire Nations can be built through true Capitalism, but that there is a very distinct line between Capitalism and Greed, and very much of the evil doings in America is the result of straight-out pure greed being painted and propped up as Capitalism.

The Mudsill Theory by itself was mostly an attempt by slave-practicing southern states to retro-provide a logic and justification for the practice, in order to defend keeping and maintaining such practices. Similar to the creation of Southern Baptism as a religion.....

Nothing but crickets from the Trumptard Repubs. Moscow Mitch called COVID-19 aid "blue-state" bailouts and suggesting that he'd like for them to go the bankruptcy route.

He was immediately GRILLED by even his own political party members, not only because the state of Kentucky - McConnell's state - is the 50th of 50 states that took MORE federal money than they contributed last year, but that also the vast majority of southern states - mostly ALL deep RED states - are among the worst states of all 50 in terms of taking federal assistance, as opposed to contributing to the federal pot.

It's the new generation's Republic party: reliance on federal tax dollars, big government, big spending, and huge national debt.



But for this, we get crickets.....

Why do people keep spreading lies about donor/debtor states?

Here is some actual data:

TANK Cases

Total TANF cases for June 19 was 2.8 million. California made up 1.1 million of those cases.

The debtor/donor state construct is caused by progressive tax structure and FICA gaps. It has nothing to do with benefits.

Go educate yourself.
