    I found this funny.

    Dell CEO's face was like "no way!" .

    Greed is not sound fiscal policy.

    It's also way too simple for the wealthy to donate and push policy makers into power. Even simpler you could argue.

    This is for the voting 99% .. they are still being manipulated by forces that truly do not care. Corruption at the political level can only do so much after a while, something trump really hammered home with Clinton n 2016 .. and caused voters to swing. Of course, trump has no place to talk and is found out the longer he is in power , but people do have a choice.

    They talk about the power of the nra, yet democrat inspirations like the kardashians are worth over a billion and could crush their influence if their followers forced them to. But they are manipulated instead by both sides.

    Tax wise , marginal tax isn’t a deal breaker in terms of bringing the poor to a higher quality of life but you want to close loopholes intended to keep people where they are regardless of poor business decisions.

    No it isn't. I actually agree with you there. It really isn't a policy at all.
