It's wild how more people identify as DemSocs than MAGA, yet we have the system that's in place now because capitalists would rather have fascism than make even the slightest concessions in the form of social democracy.

For clarity: the part of the Constitution they were ruled to violate was the Fifteenth Amendment, which reads "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude."

Those calling for state pension cut are silent on their tax perks. Gross tax relief on pension contributions £83.9bn. 14% went to 1.1m additional rate tax payers. 57% to 6.6m higher rate (40%) payers. 29% went to 30.4m basic rate (20%) payers. Equalizing it at 20% for all leaves £14.5bn spare.
