Donald Trump and Elon Musk Are Improbable Working-Class Class Heroes

[Billiejeens]

It seems bizarre that a couple of guys with a few hundred billion dollars between them are the voice of America’s working class, but that’s what they are.

And it’s not like they’re pretending.

They’re not pulling some scam or trick.

Both of them really believe in what they’ve been saying.

You know it because they’ve been saying it forever.

With Donald Trump, his politics are pretty much the same conservative-Jacksonian-populist (yeah, that’s a thing) politics he’s always had, even though his party affiliation has switched.

The same with Elon Musk. Elon Musk is no regular conservative.

He has just always believed in things like free enterprise, free speech, and small government – you know, the same things the nominally conservative conservatives always talk about but never get around to conserving.

There is one party of ideas that improve The US.
There is one party of ideas that destroy The US.

Easy to Understand where men such as President Trump and Elon would stand.
(hint - it is the first one.)

Elon and Trump want to take unions power away. Firing workers who strike. You don't know what you are saying.

In the last 40 years our economic policies have favored Elon and Trump. How they gonna fix that or undo it? I know. More tax breaks to the rich.

There are no tax breaks for the rich. They pay far more in taxes than the poor.

Total fabrication than school teachers are paying more. People making over $600k pay at least 40% in Federal taxes alone.

You're such a stupid bitch. My brother is rich. They got it too good. Let's go back to what we were doing before Reagan, Bush and Trump gave them tax breaks.

Share some of that wealth

6 cents tax on every dollar means a hell of a lot more to a poor person than it does to a rich person.

But yea, you are right. That rich person who bought a $1 million dollar yacht paid 6 cents on every dollar. So yea they pay a lot more taxes than the poor you sure do have that right stupid.

You know what? I want to be poor not rich. Why? Because they pay less taxes. Right stupid?

The con remains alive and well.

Keep those checks coming.

We’ve seen Trump’s taxes and he often pays nothing.

So your whole idea is that we should take all their money away so they are on the same level as you? Can you say that is completely unfair and wrong?

Trump's bible was made in China. He also hires illegals at Mara Lago. It makes him smart.

Rich people get away with a lot of games in terms of how they manage, acquire and protect wealth. There are serious holes in the tax code that we should have a serious discussion about addressing.

Taxing unrealized gains is one of those ideas.

Nope. But I'm done explaining it to a trickle downer like you

Do not like the tax structure? Convince those like Pelosi and others who are millionaires to change it. They will not because they know three things you do not. First it would hurt corporations. Second those that are paying the highest taxes would move most if not all the money out of the U.S. so it could not be taxed. And third they would be agreeing to place higher taxes on themselves

 

[Mac1958]

And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

He could do everything he preaches against, and everything Christianity prohibits, and they'd still defend him.

It's a cult.

 

[Maxdeath]

Nope. But I'm done explaining it to a trickle downer like you

So actually you have nothing but you are upset that they have more than you. Got it

So again get the millionaires in congress to change the tax code. I know you will not understand such a simple concept.

Now you are conflating sales tax with income tax. LOL you lost it.

That’s what we are trying to do, silly.

First step is get rid of Republicans so we can have a majority.

Actually they are both full of shit and just saying the things they say to gain popularity and votes.

But it does show how easy it is to fool the people of this once great country.

Go back to 1970’s abysmal economy? We’re already there, bub.

Their own employees would beg to differ.
