lining the pockets of the wealthy
(lemmy.ml)
I thought this would be appropriate...
It's a cult. I overheard two Trumpers talking how the tariffs will only hurt for a little bit, but once everything religns, things will be great.
Golfing is expensive these days.
You didn't think they actually spent ten thousand dollars for a hammer and thirty thousand for a toilet seat, did you?
Did not expect an Armageddon reference.
With far fewer irs agents, they can't effectively audit tax cheats.
We are funding the complete destruction of Palestine.
Golf is expensive.
He's been sued 220 times for the 100 days he has been in office. Lawyers are really expensive. (Well unless you blackmail them.)
Unrelated, is this a newer format on Twitter or are people manually recreating simple Twitter screenshots for some reason?
It might be mastodon. I don't know though. Maybe it's just a twitter skin

wrong trumps pockets
Trickle down economics
For the past 50 years they've tried to give the wealthy some money but no matter how much they gave the rich, only a little trickled down to the poor
So they've decided to just turn on the money fire hose and shower the rich with all the money they can get their hands on ... it's a literal avalanche of money and hopefully this will trickle down and get some more money to the poor.
For every million they send to a rich person, ten bucks goes to a street person .... so we need to spend billions, trillions of dollars on these rich people in order to get enough money to people in need.
I can actually picture someone making this argument in earnest.
If you got 10 bucks for every million towards billionaires you'd actually be a millionaire. The ratio was more like a cent for every million.
I think they mean $999,990 goes to person A and $10 goes to person B.
If you want to create one (1) millionaire that way you would need to spend $999,000,000,000. Imagine how that would look with 1 cent to every million.
Are the two of you even talking about the same data? Maybe you spread the $10 over 1,000 people to get to that number of $0,01.
Trickle down economics
A sound bit to fool the common clay rubes - fools them over, and over, and over. Rinse and repeat.
Every GOP accusation is an admission. Where is the money going? Waste, Fraud, and Abuse.
Trump buying gold gimcracks for the Oval Office on late night TV.
And bitcoin, so itβs untraceable
Private military contract to billionaires like musk
π€
Same place that our world's highest expenditures on education and healthcare go: Corporations.
And there goes the national debt...TO THE MOON πππ
yeah some of the billionaires money isn't even real, the government just gives it to them without having it in the first place
any global conflicts currently? nope.
any actual national emergencies currently? nope.
any international catastrophes recently? nope.
republicunt in the white house? yup.
ding. ding. we have a winner. to the fucking moon the debt shall go.
s/nope/not yet/g
Give it time, Trumpler will have all 3.
But because of the belligerent attitude other countries stopped buying US debt, at a time where debt is exploding and up for renewable. Something is going to break.
And the only real stipulations is the oppression of your workers and bending the knee to those more money than you.
ICE
Not trickling down, that's for sure.
More police to fuck us all up.
Musk is still smiling...
The weirdo is taking it
