Trump’s presidency is defined by corporations and wealthy individuals who spend relatively little to get billion dollar tax breaks at the expense of working American people.

It’s kleptocracy in action. “That’s some ROI” indeed:

Policy is MOST responsible for inequality. Trickle down is a myth.

“Incomes grew by 600% for the top 0.001% of Americans since 1980… Bottom half of the population was actually shut off from economic growth with close to zero rise in their yearly income.”

Republicans in Congress PERSONALLY benefit from the 2017 GOP Tax Plan, while many working American families got tax increases.

GOP aides who wrote that tax plan are cashing in with lucrative lobbying jobs:

Remember that the 2017 GOP Tax Plan changed last minute, led by Orrin Hatch. The #CorkerKickback personally enriched 14 GOP Senators millions of dollars with an unfair real estate passthrough income loophole.

THIS IS SELF-DEALING:

Billionaires benefit most from the GOP tax cut.

Sheldon Adelson got a tax windfall of $650 MILLION IN ONE QUARTER and will pump dark money into 2018 GOP campaigns as reward for giving him more House money.

Koch Bros were worth $42b each in 2016. Now they’re worth $60 billion each.

GOP gave Koch Bros a MASSIVE tax cut in 2017 while raising taxes on many families.

“If you’re looking for the kind of money that can buy elections, you’ll find it inside the top 0.1% alone.”

Our world’s 25 most wealthy families are worth $1.1 trillion. More than enough to buy elections.

In 2018 America, wealthy Americans spend time looking for “a way of monetizing poor people”.
