Note that the abject idiot in the WH fails to believe

the Trump supporters elected a clown who thinks he won a crown.
The Gulf of Mexico is hotter than ever before.
In San Francisco we had the hottest day ever 108 F,
2 really powerful hurricanes out of the Gulf and the 3rd is
headed off shore. The Arctic Ice is diminishing, the California
glaciers are evaporating, the Oceans are getting full of Carbon
Dioxide which makes it harder for fish and shellfish to survive.
The CO2 in the Oceans will reduce the amount of food we can take
from it meantime the water going mammals that need that food
are suffering from the warm water moving the food they need away.
Clinton by the way was a capitalist whose agreement to
the greed of the financiers led him to repeal the laws that
kept them in check and in 2008 the chickens came home to roost
with the worst recession since WW II.
The Republicans want to maintain the American Empire but
the people that benefit from the AE, businessmen by and large.
don't want to pay taxes. Not having adequate tax revenues took
down the Japanese Empire in 500-1185 CD as taxes were remitted
on estates signed over to the Buddhist churches/temples.
Everyone who decided they needed tax breaks signed their
estates to the temples and the enjoyed the revenues for the rest
of their lives.
In 1185 the Samurai took over the nation and it was called
the first Shogunate, the bafuku or tent government run by
Minamoto Yoritomo, he got paranoid and eventually killed all his
close relatives. Other people took control and ran the Shogunate
into the ground and ended up with a 100 year stuggle between the
Warlords over who would become the next shogun. About 1600 CE
the Tokugawa Ieyasu won the fight and his shogunate lasted until
the 1860s. I.e. his family ruled for 260 years or so.
The funny thing was that the warriors were on top with the
artisans, peasants(serfs) and the merchants were considered a
parasitical class as they only bought and sold. It was not long
until the merchants were the richest class in Japan and the
samurai and the government were in debt to them. They never
thought to tax the merchants based on income and the merchants
provided the money for the big land holders who overthrew the
Shogunate.
Now if we continue to fail to tax the people who profit
by the American Empire we will be lucky to end up with a military
dictatorship or corporate fuedalism.
