You’re kidding me. You just figured this out? In the 60s when we marched in protest we chanted “Tax the rich feed the poor”.

I really believe that democracy erodes as capitalism rises, and to thrive a country needs a leader who is willing to put democracy ahead of capitalism. Otherwise, a country is doomed to fail in the long run. If capitalism wins out, a country will in all likelihood degenerate into a feudal structure which is already being discussed in terms of "freedom cities".

I caution against using “Versus” why can't we say: “Rich & Poor” “Right & Left” both can exist together!! & America was the experiment that united the 2 opposing sides!! Its all really a state of mind & Unfortunately Trump is fooling everyone (he is the master fool like this world has never seen before!!)

Funny you are asking for money from the very people you are warning that nothing trickles down, only the rich gain.
