yup. And President Biden pledges to tax them for the unfair loop holes that let them pay less taxes than a blue collar worker. The silly part is, President Biden's opponent is for giving them even lower taxes, so the middle class and poor pay more, and when we are sucked dry, they want to go after social security and other programs that help the poor, to pay for the wealthy tax cuts.

@WalksWith I'm not sure the "real" Americans are aware that that THEIR tax breaks are set to expire. The breaks are permanent for the uber-rich unless Biden can change the rules. It's mind blowing how they'll not only fight to hurt others but themselves as well.

@Ynotisay John Steinbeck once said that socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

@DailyFlash Never heard that line. An interesting take. And I think for some that's absolutely true. They protect the richest under the VERY mistaken idea that it might be them some day.
