@lessig Yes. It's hard to compete with the 'political elites' that have a socialist, money-printing monopoly, fuelling 'public policy'. But we'll call it capitalism!

@lessig Rather than worrying about the influence of average Americans over Leviathan, try worrying about the power of Leviathan.

@lessig Wealth and democracy are in a zero sum relationship. The more you have of one, the less you have of the other.

A recent Princeton study analyzed over 20 years of voting and polling data and found that American voters have a "near-zero, statistically insignificant impact on public policy." So, if the US government doesn't represent the People, the obvious question becomes, "Does a political solution remain? Can we vote our way out of this, or is it too late already?" Join me as I seek to answer that question:

For decades, America’s economic policy has been subordinated to the trade practices of other countries, resulting in the offshoring of American jobs and the deterioration of our industrial base. President Donald J. Trump is establishing a new trading system that strengthens America’s economic position in the global market and encourages businesses to invest on American soil.

Harris: With so much of the nation’s political and economic power concentrated in the hands of the very few, is it any wonder the people feel this way? Is there any doubt, that such concentration of power is the mark of a corrupted system?

Trump promises to abolish the Income Tax, which this economy professor says is going to put an average of $30,000 a year in the pockets of American families. #Agenda47 Here’s how: 1. The current income tax costs the American people $2.4 trillion a year. 2. Trump proposes to replace the income tax with tariffs: - 20% tariff on everybody except China - 60% tariff on China 3. The tariffs are expected to bring in about $900 billion a year. 4. This tariff system is predicted to: - Grow the American economy by 20% in the near term - Provide a $15,000 raise for the typical American family - Save the typical American family $18,000 in income tax - Result in a net additional income of about $30,000 for the typical American family 5. The economic growth under this system could potentially double, reaching 5% annual growth as the new normal. 6. Comparing to countries like Singapore, the U.S. could save around $2 trillion or more. 7. There is an expectation of strong Congressional support for this proposal due to the significant economic benefits and potential for voter approval. 8. The proposal includes action items for the President, economic team, trade team, finance team, and policy team to implement and analyze the impacts of the tariff system.

The PM just failed a serious test of leadership. Our criminal justice system has been corrupted by Islamists and the politics of communalism. I asked him to take it on. His response was a (misleading) party political rant.

🇺🇸 Rep. Ro Khanna says the American political and economic system is no longer working for millions of working and middle class families. He argues both parties spent years defending a failed status quo, as inequality exploded and the economy became increasingly “lopsided and unfair.” He also warns establishment politicians keep losing touch with voters… because they refuse to admit how broken the system has become.

Powell: The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the federal reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public rather than following the preferences of the president This is about whether the fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation.

Well this is unusual. This is Jared Bernstein, the Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, the main agency advising Biden on economic policy, from the documentary: Finding the Money. He seems unable to communicate how the US monetary system works, despite being an advisor on it to the president.
