How’s the economy? Not bad if you’re rich. Demand for luxury yachts and private jets is surging thanks to last year’s tax law. Sales of $10 million-plus mansions are booming as stocks hit new highs.What if you aren’t rich? The typical American can’t afford the median-priced home. Food banks are seeing a growing number of people skipping meals because they can’t afford groceries, and more middle-class Americans are selling their plasma to make ends meet.The amount of wealth held by the top 1% increased at more than double the rate of the bottom 90% in the first nine months of last year, according to Federal Reserve figures.President Donald Trump’s policies are amplifying these trends. One year into his second term, his administration has cut programs helping lower-income households while advancing policies benefiting the wealthy and corporations. He’s signed legislation to cut food stamps and Medicaid benefits and put new restrictions on low-income housing assistance and student loans. To cope with higher costs from tariffs, he has suggested Americans buy fewer dolls for their children.Meanwhile, the Trump administration has given billions of dollars in tax cuts to corporations and the wealthy and loosened regulations on banks while easing rules around cryptocurrency, which he’s benefited from personally.“Donald Trump talks a lot about the working class, his MAGA base is primarily working class, but if you look at the data, the working class is doing very badly in the second Trump administration. The real growth in the second Trump administration has been in corporate profits and in the wealth of the people at the top.”https://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/trump-economy-wealth-gap-americans-affordability-inflation-prices-rcna264112
I admire his success and his energy in 2016. He worked every bit as hard in 2016 as Harry Truman did in 1948, and it paid off. He got rubes and small town assholes to believe in him, which is truly amazing. Some slob in Oklahoma voting for a New York real estate magnate.Trump got the dumbest people to vote. Hadn't happened since Andrew Jackson, and maybe FDR and LBJ.
>>1500190This is Biden's fault.
This is Reagan's fault.
I love it when they trickle on me.
>>1500190have you even thanked Trump for defeating Iran yet? it's so easy, buy oil futures just before the price goes up like everyone connected to Trump to make your money backdont let the traitorous dems win you filthy antisemites
The retard conman bankrupted a fucking casino. Of course this was going to happen.
>>1500224He bankrupted us too. US treasury was officially declared insolvent last week.
>>1500190It seems to me like the most wealth consolidation happened in blue states during the COVID 19 pandemichttps://youtu.be/uzzQGy4_jm8
>>1500226This is because blue states actually have wealth you retard.>How curious all the states where these companies are based out of are where they consolidated all their wealth
>>1500225>He bankrupted us too. US treasury was officially declared insolvent last week.His master, Israel, ordered it. Now all of their tribe can buy up cheap US assets for pennies.
>>1500226>The wealthy prefer not to live in 3rd world red state shitholes even if it means paying higher taxes and being subject to common sense regulationCURIOUS.
This backward person prevented me from traveling to us
>Trickle down economics gives all the wealth to the rich at the expense of everyone else >Be shocked that the wealth gap has exploded over the past 40+ years because conservatives keep pushing trickle down economics.
>>1500229The COVID 19 rules were arbitrary. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2020/02/17/nih-disease-official-anthony-fauci-risk-of-coronavirus-in-u-s-is-minuscule-skip-mask-and-wash-hands/4787209002/Fauci was saying you don't need to wear a mask to saying you need to wear a mask to saying one mask is good but two masks are betterWe went from not being allowed to stand within 6 feet of each other to 3 feet with no justification.Large companies had the most money to throw at compliance grew there market share while smaller businesses who were barely getting by as is went into bankruptcy.The lockdowns were the strictest for the longest in blue states. The lockdowns were the weakest for the shortest period in red states
>>1500237Who implemented this "trickle down economics" which gave all the wealth to the rich?
>>1500237Trickle down economics used to be called horse and crow economics. The horse eats corn. The horse shits. Then the crow gets to eat.
>>1500246It's all insulting.
>>1500239>Fauci was saying you don't need to wear a mask to saying you need to wear a mask to saying one mask is good but two masks are better>We went from not being allowed to stand within 6 feet of each other to 3 feet with no justification.It's almost like understanding and protocol for this virus improved over time, fucking retard.>How curious, they claim asbestos is bad for you yet we used to use it all the time
>>1500220Maybe if you bought a futures contract two days ago, but it all crashed monday. Then again, I doubt plebs here know anything about commodities trading.
>>1500191If the other side would just remove the browns and stop importing them to depress wages and/or because they can't control their feelings, a solid half of us would be voting for them. But here we are, with the most reasonable voice being MAGA because its the only voice that understands that the Mexicans who are invading us to extract wealth from our country are not our friends.
>>1500279>usLOL
President Trump exists to serve this country, day in and day out, and he's done a tremendous job. What president Trump has done for the economy is a national MIRACLE that will not only be studied for generations, but for centuries to come. Thank you, president Trump.

>>1500279Deport all foreigners. They are strangers in our communities and they cheat and steal from us.
>>1500364we keep telling you to leavejust leave
>>1500364Billionaires steal and cheat from your communities more than foreigners. And don't even get me started on foreign billionaires.
>>1500400i know how to fix that.1. Raise taxes2. Funnel tax money to billionairesYou're welcome.
>>1500400>You can only do one thing at a time!!!!>If a problem exists you may NOT attempt to solve it before solving something else!!Interesting take
>>1500409You're insisting on treating a paper cut before your stab wound.
>>1500409>If you have an IV funneling life-saving fluids into you, like how immigrants are funding social security by paying taxes they won't get returns from, and an active chainsaw spilling viscera everywhere as it revs on your stomach, those are both injuries and should get the same priority of care. I'm a fucking dumbass.
>>1500400Didn't Cuba "eat the rich"?They seized the means of production, took all the mansions of rich people.And it turns out the people who left with nothing but the clothes on their back ended up far wealthier in Miami and southern florida
>>1500410>You can only do ONE thing at a time.You're advocating for the paper cut and the stab wound.Your proposal is ridiculous at it's most basic level anyway. "I want my fuggin' illegals so Democrats have power so they con funnel money to the billionaires, a problem which cannot be addressed until we stop funneling money to the billionaires"How odd are you? Do you even self reflect, bruh?
>>1500415faggot
>>1500414YOUR HATE FACTS WILL NEVER OVERCOME MY RETARDED BELIEFSYou're simply a cultist!
>>1500418>No retort>No denialConcession accepted.
>>1500420>nobody takes you seriously
>>1500421They should. I'm pretty right about shit.
>>1500424you're about shit, that is right
>>1500414Nice strawman, but you can eat the rich in social democracies with tax reform. It's no wonder you think that's a bad thing you literally have no fucking clue what it is. And somehow you feel confident enough to run your dumbass mouth about it anyway, which wouldn't bother me except you're spraying billionaire cum all over the place as you talk
>>1500437Punitive taxation will not fix anything you faggot-brain fucktard.
>>1500438your billionaire cum-scented breath is quite offputting
>>1500241>>1500246Republicans
>>1500415>I want my fuggin' illegals so Democrats have power so they con funnel money to the billionairesYou're literally blaming me for your own strawman.
>>1500440Yet you use trickle down via the government as a middleman. Interesting.How do I get to be a level 100 wagged liggeral?
>>1500442how does your mother get a redo? asking for a friend
>>1500443>Crippled dyke hands typed this
>>1500445so your mother is cheating on your father with a lesbian? good for her
>>1500446He is a conservative, they inherently repulse women.
>>1500446>No argumentConcession accepted.
>>1500450don't you get tired of retreating into the same shill bunkers day after day
>>1500451I'm not usually on 4chan trolling for 23 hours a day.So, let me redirect that question back to you.
>>1500442Are you referring to social programs, programs that take money from the wealthiest people to provide for the poorest, as government-managed trickle-down?So you just don't even know what words mean? I mean, forgetting the fucking whataboutism, that's literally the opposite of trickle down economics. Like,you can disagree with it, but mislabeled it like that just makes you look fucking retarded.
>>1500450>If I make myself so insufferable people won't engage I can declare myself the winner of any debate. Trying to seize control like that and needing to declare myself the winner definitely doesn't make me a little beta bitchboy. Literally anyone cares about me, I shouldn't shoot myself in the temple.
>>1500453>Are you referring to social programs, Are you referring to social programs, programs that take money from the **** peopleYes. >, that's literally the opposite of trickle down economics.No. 2D thinking. You have mental faculties of a child. All the pieces to figure out this simple puzzle has been laid out for you previously. Yet you can't bridge the gap because you're scared you'll think you're an idiot (you are).
>>1500357Should I just ignore that decline in the inflation rate as that chart ends 4 years ago?
>>1500463nah, the ESL shill ignores facts and the trans oriented gooning vidya on their other monitors when replying to you. You gotta do one of those too
>>1500453>>1500455This just means we need to tax the rich more and redistribute their wealth to those who actually deserve it, aka the working class. Sounds like something everyone who corrupt capitalists and authoritarians would agree on.
>>1500494Nah, enslaving people to the government has been tried. Your authoritarianism has been proven not to work.The solution is competition, but the lobbyists have ensured that competition is impossible with favorable regulations.
>>1500496Are you done projecting? The only authoritarianism comes from conservatives and capitalism.Nationalization is necessary to reign in your corruption.
>>1500498I'm a fan of nationalizing your mother.
>>1500502Bot post
>>1500503Nah it was a gyatt post, retard.
>>1500224Multiple casinos, actually. I gather that a major problem was that he opened them all essentially right next to each other, all emblazoned with his name. In a manner reminiscent of deer overpopulation, they self-competed each other into the dirt.
>>1500233the wealthy usually don't live where they harvest
>>1500453If the government collects billions in taxes and pays out millions in benefits that's trickle down
>>1500507I've heard it had more to do with spectacle. Trump has an obsessive need to always be the biggest and shiniest name in the room. He literally spent more on big shows and displays for his casinos then they actually made. If he'd just sat back and let them be casinos, he would've been fine.Of course there was literally a guy whose job was to ensure Trump didn't fuck everything up in regards to his casinos. Unfortunately, he died in a plane crash and Trump immediately took full rein. Which honestly should've been the foreshadowing to how much of a disaster this term has been; Trump with no one to rein him in has this damning tendency to run things into the ground.
>>1500565The pentagon soaks up more money and funnels directly into the pockets of the worlds billionaireswelfare programs benefit from economic scaling. Its how soup kitchens can feed so many people on limited donations. Buy your product in bulk to bypass the consumer markup but you still have to pay the people working there.
