Duh. People don't understand this. They want it all but don't want to give up anything. This mindset has corrupted our nation since the late 90's starting with the effects of NAFTA. You can't give rich people more tax breaks, you have to tax them more because they can withstand it. In a form that we're familiar with ;

When you have 6 pokemon, 1 is level 100 and the others are level 1 and you're at the elite four, do you want to send out your level 1 pokemon? No, the level 100 pokemon can do the work because of its status.

Yeah I know, silly analogy but it works. What sense does it make to tax rich people less if you are in a trade deficit in the trillions? All that wealth is clumping up in one place, with nowhere to go. Not to the poor or middle class. Yet CEOs swear on their mothers grave that if they pay above 7$ an hour, their business would go bankrupt. I know that there's a check and balance system for the relative amount of work done at minimum wage jobs but 7$ isn't enough for anybody to live on anything.

Our nation is so corrupt, greedy is the better word for it. The embodiment of Trump. They can't find any traces of his donations except for 10K of the "Millions" he said he donated...which is why he won't release his tax returns... he's greedy. He talks about other politician's misuse of wealth and yet he lives in a tower plated with hundreds of pounds of gold. Wake up America, you're letting the enemy in the door and you don't even know it. This man will finish America. We're already in a critical state, albeit less critical than we were 8 years ago.

Somebody who claims he can turn dirt into jobs like some messiah and has nothing to back it up with will ruin us.
