      And yet the majority of Trump voters will cite it as the reason they’re voting for him.

      People are unredeemingly stupid.

          The problem is a good economy means the rich get richer and a bad economy means poor people lose their jobs.

          This mindset right here is the problem.

          No, that is not what a good economy means. That is what you’ve been conditioned to believe is a good economy. That there’s just nothing we can do, and if we want to be anything but poor and homeless, then that means we have to let billionaires (and soon trillionaires) exploit us, and that just isn’t true.

      It’s put very simply here:

      The world’s five richest men have more than doubled their fortunes to $869bn (£681.5bn) since 2020, while the world’s poorest 60% – almost 5 billion people – have lost money.

      … the world’s billionaires were $3.3tn (£2.6tn) richer than in 2020, and their wealth had grown three times faster than the rate of inflation.

      Divided you beg - the Republican way. United you bargain - the Democrats way. Keep voting Republican and keep making the rich richer.
