2. So the rich are double and triple dealing.....

1.) They allot themselves obscene profits,... often with monopolistic practices,....

2.) They have loopholes written so they pay little to no taxes,... then year after year have Big Beautiful Bills written to give the rich more tax breaks and tax credits, causing deficits to rise to astronomical and dangerous levels,...

(which pushes taxes higher for everyone else and explodes the national debt.)

3.) Then to compound this abomination and insult - they then buy tax free governmental bonds and treasuries to cover day to day governmental costs,.. so they profit handsomely from the exploding national dept which they caused to happen in the first place.

The super rich making tons of money from contrived disaster capitalism - while the average Jane and Joe picks up the bill and costs to keep our government running and operational.

They get a free ride while we pay through the nose. Talk about who is who - and where the real "Welfare Queens" can be readily located as they desperately seek to remain hidden while erroneously pointing the finger of blame at everyone else.
