And here's what the GOP has to offer:

Be real ok. We are not rich and we got a tax break. So did you. Why listen to fake news. Why worry what the rich get? Be satisfied with your credit. The Dems lie. They will tax the rich true, but they will tax you too. There are not enough billionaires to do what they pledge to do. All of us will pay.

@Mikentx1997 Be real? WTF. You posted something and got called on it. And then you posted some meaningless platitudes "They will tax the rich true, but they will tax you too." No shit. I don't think you realize how much wealth is concentrated in so few hands and how much even a few percentage points of that would make as far as easier the burden on the working poor as far as access to healthcare. Do some research on top marginal tax rates from the 1950s until the early 80s. It does matter.

"Be satisfied with your credit". 😂. The wealthy have you right where they want you. Likely blaming the poor, immigrants and "welfare" for any financial difficulties you might have.

@luckranger71 Most billionaires are left leaning and usually donate to Democrats.
This election cycle, Conservative leaning billionaires like Mike Bloomberg and Mark Cuban are backing Dems ☺

Sorry unlucky,
I’m retired I’ve worked since I was 10 years old. Never went to the government for anything. No financial problems for me. The government owes you or me nothing. The opportunity to succeed is here for everyone. Why do you think the whole world wants to be here? You had better search history while it can still be found. I’m sorry to hear about your unlucky and wasted life.

@LeoWulf You have no source for this. And so what if some billionaires are backing Dems? Like with some other wealthy people, they put the welfare of the nation above their own pocketbook. Warren Buffett has consistently talked about the unfairness of the tax structure in this country, which is unique (in a shitty way) in the Western world. And he benefits from it the most.

Billionaires are backing Dems. That’s the problem. Do research. Most of the Dems became millionaires while in office. It’s not from their salaries for sure. Trump accepts no salary. He is exposing these corrupt dogs. Yet the fake news and big business protect them. @luckranger71

@Mikentx1997 😂. I'm doing just fine and have a fantastic job and hope to retire by 53. Congratulations on your retirement. You seem pissy that someone challenged your platitudes.

The "whole world" most assuredly does not want to be here. The "opportunity" to succeed here is by all objective standards less than in Canada, Western Europe and Japan. If you're born into poverty in the US, you're more likely to remain there statistically than in the rest of the developed world. The US has less social mobility period. We are closer to the caste system in India than to most Western nations.

I won't assume anything about you, as you did with me, but I was lucky to be an only child with two professional parents that could afford to live in a town with excellent schools and then afford to send me to a great college. If you pulled yourself up by the bootstraps on your own, congrats. The exception, not the rule.

@Mikentx1997 I remember when Bernie used to attack millionaires until he became one

Exactly!

@Mikentx1997 For the record the meme may not be accurate. Some contend her net worth is around 120 million. But again, where’s the investigation?
