When you follow the money, it is very simple to answer why such an unqualified person with criminal convictions is even on the ballot.

Trump’s presidency was from 2017 to 2021.

The moment he got in the White House, he passed the tax bill that was a huge money grab for the richest 1% of Americans.

So how did Trump’s tax bill accomplish that?

First, he cut the corporate tax from 35% to 21%!

That is exactly a 40% discount that corporations got on their tax.

Of course, corporations love Trump.

Realize the greed and shamelessness in them pushing through this bill not just a 5% or 10%, but a whopping 40% discount!

You would think that will all the extra profit they made, some of it would benefit the people, the consumers…

Trickle down economy, anybody? Nah… we got nothing, zilch, nada! The extra profits only lined their pockets.

Now you can understand why they are at Kamala’s throat, why they attack her with everything they got — because she wants to push this corporate tax back up to the middle between where it was and where Trump took it, aka to 28%.

Because of this plan, all the conservatives are screaming that “oh, all this will make consumers pay more”, it’s going to be passed to the consumer — we need to protect the consumer…

Really? Just a few years ago these corporations were fine with the 35% tax, then they get the big tax break, and they still raised the prices heavily in the past 2–3 years due to “inflation”.

So no, corporations will just adjust back to doing business as they did before the tax cuts. They might need to take a small ceo and c-suite multimillion bonus cut, but other than that they’ll do fine.

The other tax cuts courtesy of Trump tax bill, were to the high earners.

He moved the needle there from 3% to 5%. So if you made over 300k-400k in income, everything over that threshold was taxed less than before.

Enter Kamala, who wants to reverse it, as well as raised the capital gains tax for people making over a million.

Mind you, we already had the lowest tax of high earners in the world to begin with (ours was under 40%, while all other countries have it over 40%)… Trump took that even lower, and Kamala wants to balance it out.

For this reason also they are screaming in her face, calling her “mentally incapacitated”, “a whore”, and many other things. She gets disparaged daily and all TV channels repeat nonstop this vile rhetoric.

All in the name of money.

Trump, on the other hand, is a convicted criminal, of rape, of sexual assault, of defrauding, of treason and insurrection, etc. He is unqualified to be in the White House — doesn’t know the laws, is barely educated, and is a scumbag.

But he might win.

Big money, big interests are propping him.

Doesn’t matter that he is a joke, a clown, a criminal. Doesn’t matter that is is racist, misogynistic, fascist, megalomaniac, psychopath.

Actually, these are the qualities that Big Money needed in the White House, and in Congress. Big Money propped all of the scumbags that agreed to sell themselves.

That’s how the Senate, the House of Representatives, the Supreme Court, all got packed with minions that do the work of the Rich.

During Trump presidency we saw the biggest numbers of new millionaires, and some of the millionaires became billionaires.

Elon Musk loves Trump for these reasons.

Trump is the tool the Rich used to grab the money pot. He facilitated the biggest and most shameless theft in history.

Hoping this will be reversed with this election.

Please vote early if you can, but if not, just make sure you vote!
