The Billionaires chosen by Trump have no understanding, nor do they care about our losses, “we the People” are unseen!
However, we have Rights and we have power in numbers. We vote. Pressure your legislators to seize the power of the budget they created. Let funds allocated to us flow or don’t re elect your representatives. We have power. Use it.
Demand to know and veto the proposed budget to strip SS, Medicare, Medicaid, school lunches and aid for kids. Say no to Corporate tax cuts and yes to our benefits.
, the billionaire bros are basing their secessionist plans on:
“the principle that those with means have the right to walk away from the obligations of citizenship, especially taxes and burdensome regulation. Retooling and rebranding the old ambitions and privileges of empires, they dream of splintering governments and carving up the world into hyper-capitalist, democracy-free havens under the sole control of the supremely wealthy, protected by private mercenaries, serviced by AI robots and financed by cryptocurrencies.”
A bevy of billionaires in Washington is now attacking Social Security and Medicaid, obliterating health and safety regulations, destroying much of public education, and deciding who in America should be abducted and sent to a brutal prison in another country.
Even before Trump, America’s extreme wealth and privilege combined with the most unequal distribution of income and wealth in more than a century had rigged the economy for the benefit of those at the top.
Their tax rates had plummeted. Their profits had exploded. Their fortunes had soared. When they took excessive risks with the economy and faced ruin, they were bailed out while banks foreclosed on millions of homeowners.
The reaction among America’s working middle class has been fury. Trump exploited that fury by telling them he was on their side.
But he’s not. He never was. He and his billionaire appointees feel no connection to the rest of America. They want only to dismantle government and insulate themselves from the ensuing chaos.
As Klein and Taylor say, the most powerful people in the world are preparing for the end of the world, an end they themselves are frenetically accelerating.
