General Discussion

I do agree that there exists a fed-up but malinformed demographic that has voted for Trump 1-3 times because of dissatisfaction with the current economic structures, but many more feel that Trump is going to raise their chances at grabbing the brass ring by lowering taxes, electrifying the economy, and handicapping the marginalized.
I’ve talked with a lot of younger males recently that are convinced they just one bit of knowledge away from the right hustle or market trade hack before joining the wealthy. There are day trader, stonks, prediction trader, influencer, and crypto success stories, but they by necessity involve concentrations of wealth which of course keeps more $$ off the table for the rest of us, including their fellow wishful traders. There’s a lot of people fed up with the system, but there’s also a lot of people who believe that higher taxes on the wealthy will come just at the time their investment in Fabiocoin or some MLM&Ms or real estate bogus purchase scheme pays off. We are now offering cash for older homes.
I know people in their 70s that still oppose progressive tax structures because they may hit the figurative or literal lottery. I guess the thought for all ages is if your dream is to have more than your fair share, why would you want a fairer distribution of wealth?
