True capitalism, much like a real republic is a bit messy, sometimes chaotic.. old money hates it.. hence the 17th Amendment, 16th Amendment and a slew of tax codes beneficial to those that have the the money.

Time to repeal the 17th Amendment, return a check and balance on the Senate and Judiciary. Our Founding fathers were not stupid.
force oil production onshore, then tax it to the gills before banning it entirely

*DeSantis is a RINO because he disagrees with me on one or more issues, with this being the one (can’t think of any others).
