Kim Jong Un Fears That G.O.P. Tax Bill Makes His Plan to Destroy U.S. Redundant

Kim Jong Un is concerned that his long-standing plan to destroy the United States has been made totally irrelevant by the Republican tax bill moving through the Senate, a source close to the North Korean dictator said on Friday.The source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that Kim fears that his scheme to turn the United States into an uninhabitable hellhole has been to a large extent upstaged by a similar proposal from congressional Republicans.

I wouldn't say they rule the world yet, but yea. Problem here is that the GOP wants to replicate their slavery here.

Seems like there is a standard of living bubble in the US that is due to get popped.  We have these big houses, and all the newest technology, and cars, and trips, and we expect free cheap top notch healthcare, and want free education, and don't want to pay much taxes, and we eat expensive food, and get paid lots of money for mediocre work, and on and on...

It seems pretty obvious with the push towards globalism, this can't last.

Our foes need to understand this as well. You can have 62 uber billionaire families worldwide holding half the world's population of combined wealth. It isn't a matter of being anti private sector, but a matter of TOO BIG.

The stock market was a good idea when it started, and it isn't completely invalid today. But unfortunately it has been turned into a global casino at the expense of the working class worldwide.
