So you ENVY Musk's wealth and Trump's wealth?

You claim Musk and Trump make so much more money than you do, and you ENVY them?

The greatest economist of all time had a brilliant response to such childish ENVY.

What those people who ask for equality have in mind is always an increase in their own power to consume. In endorsing the principle of equality as a political postulate nobody wants to share his own income with those who have less. When the American wage earner refers to equality, he means that the dividends of the stockholders should be given to him. He does not suggest a curtailment of his own for the benefit of those 95 per cent of the earth’s population whose income is lower than his.



Just remember, the American HOMELESS are all a bunch of Elon Musks, compared to the average China resident, or the average India resident.

President Trump INHERITED
a growing economy, growing employment, and falling yearly deficits. Do you really think that, prior to Covid, tRump altered the course of Obama's growing economy?

If so, play !!! Spot the Trump Miracle !!!

Here's ten years of job creation data. Ignore the drop of 22 million jobs when the pandemic started and concentrate on how job creation changed starting in Dec 2017 when tRump introduced his trillion dollar tax cut.

Do you see a "tRump miracle"? Do you see any change in jobs? Do you see any difference whatsoever between job creation rates under Obama and tRump? I surely don't.


Here's monthly rate of job growth in thousands; it's effectively the derivative of the above; it would show any changes in rate of job growth if changes had occurred. See any "tRump miracle"? Me neither!
