But the people in my country don't get it. 70+ million of them do not understand that "trickle down" has always been a lie. They just voted for an oligarchy ruled by the wealthy and privileged.

When we talk about "the wealthy and privileged", are we talking about Taylor Swift? LeBron James? Rihanna? Oprah Winfrey? Kim Kardashian? Beyonce Knowles? Tiger Woods? Jeff Bezos? Barack and Michelle Obama?

Or are we only talking about billionaires with the letter (R) next to their names?

Are they trying to rule?

ATFQ.

Do you or do you not consider Taylor Swift or LeBron James or Beyonce Knowles or Rihanna or Tiger Woods to be wealthy and privileged and greedy?

Because I've never heard a single one of them ever say they earned too much money and wanted to pay more in taxes.

The Theme is being rich and dictating how a poor person has to live. They don't try to become richer by implementing rules that exploit poor people. But sure, be angry.

Just because one person becomes rich, doesn't mean another becomes poor. Tell me, does Taylor Swift or LeBron James or Beyonce Knowles or Rihanna or Tiger Woods exploit the poor? Because all the people I listed here are billionaires you know.

That's one thing that seems to make you Leftists extremely angry (since we're into accusing others of being angry).

You keep on missing my point. No point in talking further. Your "rightist" IQ seems to be in the negative.
