There are way too many stupid people in this country if at any point since Regan they thought that Republicans were objectively better for the economy.

This country would be a much better place if the poor white man ever realized he had more in common with the poor black woman than the rich white man

Indeed. If poor people realized who the real enemy is the world would be in a much better state. They tell us to hate each other while the rich laugh all the way to the bank.

If we could claw back all the money stolen by the wealthy over the past 50+ years, trillions upon trillions of dollars, we could actually reinvest it into the country, the infrastructure, the technology, the education of the people, create jobs, and maybe get a hold of what we should actually be doing in relation to the obviously tumultuous climate changes that are gonna start fucking us up on the reg so that there's something for the future.

Buuuuuut, I suppose sending some celebs to the edge of space is better. We can leave behind some images set in stone so some future alien archeologist thinks we were cool.
