AMERICAN POLITICS
Anyone who has read this blog knows its writer is not a fan of former President Trump. His position on immigration, tax policy, and American Constitutional ideals are only political props for rambling, muddled speeches that dangerously divide America. His promotion of American division was made clear on January 6, 2021.
Trump’s promotion of American division was made clear on January 6, 2021.
His speeches about immigration are only meant to vilify rather than manage its impact on the economy. It is the failure of Congress to approve legislation meant to ameliorate some of immigration policy’s faults. Trump waves a false flag of immigrant invasion when he is only a 2nd generation immigrant himself.
The vilification of immigration is a false flag.
He is supported by some wealthy Americans like Ms. Adelson whose family made a fortune in the Las Vegas casino business. In his 2017 election he was supported by the Koch family, one of the largest privately-owned companies in America. The argument made by many wealthy donors for Trump’s re-election is a belief that with the less taxes they pay, more jobs are created to lift the poor into the middle class. It is the ideal of capitalism and government that creates jobs. It is the ideas and hard work of people, not inherited wealth, that have made America great.
Trump believes in “trickle down” economic policy. His belief in cutting taxes is based on that belief.
Trump forgets where he came from. Despite his family success in America, Trump’s speeches reek with vile comments about immigrants. Without detailing some of the bad things Trump has done to become rich and influential, he lies about his past failures, and the worth of his assets. Trump revels in his moral turpitude. He is found liable for defamation and sexual abuse. He is a convicted of civil fraud for inflating his wealth to gain favorable bank loans. Trump does not represent what makes America great. He represents what makes America and capitalism flawed.
Trickle-down economics to reduce poverty, like the current economic idea of Kamela Harris for regulating food prices to help the poor, is not supported by history.
A “Chicken in Every Pot” will not come from fixing food prices or from job creation by reducing taxes on the wealthy. Roosevelt knew that; hopefully Trump will not be re-elected, and Kamela Harris will not make Hoover’s mistakes.
