It's just infuriating that the worst of the worst corporations can dictate policy just because they have the most dough.
I guess being liberal and standing up for the people doesn't pay.

pay is subjective, and depends on what "pay" means. All boats rise to the top when liberal policies are enacted.
For the greedy shit heads, it will never pay enough, regardless of what ideology we speak of.

It's just that it what it pays can't be measured in dollars and cents.
Unfortunately, most of our leaders have either forgotten this or just been corrupted by a system meant to favor wealth.

3. It can. If it is populist liberalism, we get paid in votes. |
|
On the other hand, if it is technocratic "intelligent" liberalism that is focused on compromise and other bullshit, we get nothing.

Liberal policies pay where it counts. In improved conditions.

6. Be more concerned about what fascism will continue to cost us |
|
Look around and see what becomes of a world where what pays is considered as the first, last and only priority.
