      which is why people want to be rich. it’s way bigger benefit than the money.

      people think about all the maga types that are ‘one day millionaires’. nah, it’s not about being rich for money, it’s about they back a guy who does the stuff they wish they could personally do. like be rabidly racist in public without consequence

          Forgive some rich asshole who took out 5 false PPP loans? Mmm okay

          Forgive your neighbors student debt they’ve been chipping away at for 10 years? Fuck that why should they get anything?!

      It’s why these rich people back the GOP. The tax breaks are real but the consequences of social policies won’t affect them when they can fly wherever, put their kids in private schools and escape any social damage.
