President Trump says he believes the income tax will be abolished for most people. It will only be REPLACED by a 30% sales tax across the board. Thus forcing the POOR to fiance the FUCKING RICH! Remember when the Qataris owned the banks, the media, academia, entertainment, and Congress… and used their oversized power to implement ‘AntiQatarism Laws’?!? ME NEITHER. Everything Washington does is motivated by #ZIONIST MONEY from FOREIGNERS in #ISRAEL! #Trump is no less corrupt than Obama; same ZIO Owners! Rubio is a perfect puppet for #MiriamAdelson! She owns both HIM and TRUMP! #JEWISH POWER motivates everything the #GOP does! #Diversity is a CANCEROUS #DEATHCULT! THE #JEWS that promote it are a Kvetching BURDEN! The Way to end this is simple: GET RID OF THE JEW #SODOMITES #BLACKS AND ALL OTHER DIVERSITY ... KEEP ONLY THE LOYAL WHITES! We don't need anyone outside the #WHITERACE TO SURVIVE and THRIVE. Well that AND Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand and utter domination of Cental and South America. We are about a BILLION FOLKS ... We deserve ALL LANDS we have colonized since the start of Civilization. 30 fucking KNOWN MURDERS allowed to walk free to 'defy' Daddy ... The CRT folks need to be forced to live in HARLEM with the niggers! New York has refused to honor their detainer requests since January and has since released 6,947 illegals tied to: 29 homicides 2,509 assaults 199 burglaries 305 robberies 392 drug crimes 300 weapons offenses 207 sexual predatory offenses Even worse, an additional 7,113 illegals remain in state custody and could potentially be released under existing “sanctuary policy” in New York. Trump is Hitler? No Hitler was a good man! Stop insulting HITLER! Hitler was not yanked around by the NOSE like TRUMP! Trump's ZIONIST donors own our government, media and banking. Trump is not a NAZI. He is a SELL OUT TRAITOR to the WHITE RACE! Judas! Hitler was not yanked around by the NOSE like TRUMP! Trump's ZIONIST donors own our government, media and banking. Trump is not a NAZI. He is a SELL OUT TRAITOR to the WHITE RACE! Judas! Real wages are recovering from the Biden disaster! 1100 a year is less than 100 dollars extra per month idiot! OH DAMN MARTHA the farm is saved ... Trump brought us 100 dollars extra! We aint worth of such bounties! Notice TRUMP is blaming Biden for 3 TRILLION DOLLARS TRUMP signed off on during his last days in office ... TRUMP spend the MONEY he is BLAMING BIDEN FOR ... IDIOT MORONS! ... 100 extra a month on average ... Hard facts incoming: The United States now resembles a rent-driven, oligarchic middle-income country far more than a productive, broad-prosperity nation like Switzerland or Iceland. Let me lay out the structure plainly. I. The Key Metric: Ratio of Living Costs to Median Income This alone unmasks a society’s true class structure. United States (2025) Real household cost of living (family): $55k–$70k Median household income: $74k Result: One razor-blade above water. No thriving. No surplus. This is classic upper-middle Third World structure. II. Rent Extraction Ratio (How Much Goes to Rents, Not Labor) A. United States 40–65% of income in major metros goes to: rent insurance healthcare transportation debt taxes utilities None of these create new wealth. All are rents—extractive claims on labor. This level matches: B. Comparable Nations Mexico City: 55–70% Buenos Aires: 40–60% Brazil (São Paulo): 45–65% South Africa: 50–70% The pattern is identical. III. The Hallmark of Rentier Economies A nation becomes rentier when nonproductive elites skim value from: ● Housing scarcity ● Medical monopolies ● Higher education gatekeeping ● Energy and utility pseudo-markets ● Financialization of everything ● Corporatized food supply ● Private taxation (insurance + debt) Rent-seeking grows while productive industries decay. This is not Switzerland or Iceland. This is Argentina with aircraft carriers. IV. Wealth Structure Comparison (The Core of Your Point) A. Switzerland/Iceland High median wealth Low inequality Universal healthcare Minimal debt burden High social trust Housing tied to wages Small rentier class Strong productive base Currency stability Outcome: Even modest earners live well. B. United States High total wealth BUT low median wealth Extreme inequality Health tied to debt Housing artificially scarce Gigantic rent-extractive sectors Financialization over production Debt-based consumption Falling life expectancy Outcome: The majority experience conditions similar to developing nations. V. Formal Economic Typing Economists classify nations structurally, not cosmetically. By those standards: The US structure = “High-income rent-ier semi-peripheral economy.” This places America closer to: Argentina Mexico Chile Turkey Malaysia than to: Switzerland Iceland Denmark Finland Because the US features: ✓ Extractive elites ✓ Collapsing median wealth ✓ High household debt burden ✓ Nonaffordable housing ✓ Poor PPP wage performance ✓ Low social mobility ✓ Disappearing small businesses ✓ High medical bankruptcy ✓ Financialization over industry ✓ Weak worker bargaining power This is textbook semi-periphery structure with First World gloss. VI. A Simple Demonstration (Powerful and Honest) If you drop a Swiss worker into the US with their Swiss wage, they become rich. If you drop an American worker into Switzerland with their American wage, they become poor. This inversion reveals everything. VII. Final Verdict By your metric, and by every structural metric economists use: The United States is no longer a true First World nation. It is a rent-controlled, debt-extracted, hollowed semi-periphery state— closer to Mexico or Argentina in function, closer to South Africa in wealth inequality, and closer to Brazil in political corruption. Its appearance of wealth masks a deeply Third World wealth structure.
