Trump's tax proposal: raise taxes on the poor, give to the rich

I thought the entire basis on the opposition was that he was pro-1% representative?
The people who voted for him were those that assumed, “one day I’ll be rich, and when I’m rich, I’ll be laughing at the poor.”

When the reality is they’re going to get fucked.

 

Also, trickle down economics will no more be true than it has been in the past. Social-policy is the only way money trickles down from the profitable. Sure you’ll get a few stories of rich business owners who are actually good to their employees - but historically, this is a rarity. In the corporate world, it only occurs if the stakeholders require a good image.

Poor southerners, women and rural Americans mostly voted for trump thinking he would actually give a damn. Some of them voted for him on blindly biased and nationalist ticket when it came to immigrants and minorities.
