Poor America. History will record a nation ruled by a convicted felon, sex offender, fraud and reality tv host, with the most ignorant citizenry on earth, shooting their kids at school.

Most people want a better future for America. I have serious doubts whether the people behind Project 2025 are among those.

What about all of the welfare that all of these fortunate 500 companies which enabled them to exist in the first place! These companies happily at their CEO’s a stockholders bonuses and dividends but won’t pay their employees that did the actual work to grow their businesses, a living wage! The workers deserve the bonuses and pay raises for increased productivity!
