“I love all people, rich or poor,” Trump said at a campaign rally on June 21, discussing his appointees. “But in those particular positions I just don’t want a poor person. Does that make sense ?"
He may say that he loves them, but Trump has surrounded himself with billionaires. Billionaires fill positions in the White House, offices of consequence, the Senate, Congress. The people that buy what Trump has to sell, are billionaires. The people that Trump cuts his corrupt international deals with , are billionaires.
Money wins elections. The politicians that hope to keep their jobs, look to billionaires for cash, in exchange for favors.

"Moderates always cave. I don’t know if conservatives will cave.”

The health-care bill currently before the US Senate transfers money from health coverage for millions of poor Americans to tax cuts for the wealthiest. But what’s been less noticed is that it does so retroactively. And that’s going to be rather nice for some people close to a certain president Donald Trump.
The bill eliminates a 3.8% tax on investment income for Americans who earn more than $200,000 annually. That tax was enacted in 2010 under president Barack Obama to cover the costs of the health-coverage expansion that the Republicans are now working to repeal.
What makes the tax cut fishy is that it will apply to any capital gains garnered in 2017, too. Why is that fishy? Because the spending cuts envisioned in the Senate bill won’t go into effect for several years. So cutting taxes starting this year will, despite the Republicans’ invocation of fiscal prudence, mean more government borrowing.
gsgs comment- Billionaires will work toward what is good for billionaires. There is a nest of them, in the White House. Do voters honestly believe they would work against the international community of billionaires, in favor of faceless, non- billionaires of America? The billionaires club is small, and it is a small world.
