Billionaires captured the system
- And everyone* is a temporally improvished millionare and if they make it big they dont want to give it up.
Tax wealth, not work!
Because the billionaires make the rules and they don’t want to be taxed
According to a random Google search, those making $30k-$100k are the block that voted for Trump. So, they asked for this.
- Well sure - but when compared to the Dems' "the economy is doing great - regardless of how you feel' message, I get it. Voting isn't about rational actors it's about emotion
Because conservatives base all their economic beliefs around "Trickle Down" economics. They are still holding on to that concept. Or at least that's what they tell the public.
Regan and citizens united
- Trump kicks Ukraine because he's a Russian asset and that's what Putin has ordered.
