Billionaires who are selling out America with support for Trump

They claim President Biden's plan for them to pay taxes is unfair. So?

An old saying in politics is “money talks and bullshit walks.” Plans of some billionaires who withheld money from disgraced sexual predator, rapists and criminally-indicted Donald Trump after his seditious actions during the Capitol Riot on Jan. 6, 2021, are crawling back to Trump with their checkbooks open.

Their money is not just talking, they re whining about President Joe Biden’s intent to make them pay taxes on their billions, so they want to put Trump, who has already been found guilty of fraudulent lies to tax authorities, back into the White House so they can avoid paying their fair share.

Call them the billionaire bullshitters. Their money talks to Trump’s wallet and that is bullshit.

Reports The Washington Post:


One billionaire not listed is Jeff Bezos, the Amazon founder who also owns The Post. Noe so we see Warren Buffett, considered one of the richest of the rich, or Microsoft founder Bill Gates. They belong to a group that pledges the bulk of their wealth to important causes that help America and the world.

“The billionaire class is really threatened by Biden: These guys are about creating a dynasty of wealth for themselves, and hoarding it for their posterity, at the expense of everyone else in society,” Steve Rosenthal, senior fellow at the Tax Policy Center, a nonpartisan think tank, told the Post. “That’s the striking story at the moment.”

Some of these donors are not enthusiastic supporters of Trump — they wanted other candidates and still express misgivings about Trump and his ability to win a general election. “This isn’t a passionate embrace. It’s just reality,” one person close to major donors told the Post. “No one is particularly excited about it.” In this case, money talked and any claim of caring a damn thing about the future of this nation walked out with their bullshit.

The Post continues:


They are called “the billionaire class,” a group that, like Trump, cares far more about their “brand” and their wealth than a country where they made their riches and thrived from its existence.

Some, like Buffet and Gates. have pledged the bulk of their wealth to charitable causes and groups that are trying to improve society and its culture, but they are a minority among those who accumulate wealth, often at the expense of the poor and shrinking middle class. They care only for themselves and others of “their class.”

Their money is talking to Trump, and their bullshit claims of caring about what is right are walking right out the door to leave America and democracy behind.

In 1918, rich folks were in the 77% bracket and they still made lots of money. In 2021, they were in the 37% bracket. If rich people can afford to waste money on rockets and trips to Mars, they can pay some more in taxes.

Biden just keeps on talking about "fair share". Its really strange. I know, the billionaires are giving Trump the big bucks but, I think, Biden is scaring the hell out of them. Its also interesting that those supporters who do not have billions have not changed their minds. Apparently they think that making taxes for the rich low is a good thing for the economy. I wonder if Biden ever says something like; "getting more taxes means that I can help those without, a lot more" or something like that. Oh, I think he does!

Those people who support Trump and are not rich scare the hell out of me. When I think of how utterly ignorant those folks are, and the number of them that exist, it scares me. How did my country get so damned ignorant? In theory they went to school, some have even been to universities yet, when it comes to their own best interest they are walking ignoramuses! They cannot be told that, they cannot be told anything because they are very careful to make sure they are only listening to that which supports their own ignorance.

Again, how in the world have so many people apparently decided against their own well being.

Apologies - this one really gets to me..........

I'm with you on this. I think about it multiple times per day! The only answer that I can think of that makes sense is, it's a cult! Somehow, they have been totally brainwashed. It's the only explanation to me.

The politicians that support him are only thinking about themselves! They either want the power or they are cowards!

Unfortunately I think that the Democrats are not trying very hard to educate. I have read, by many, that is the answer but, for some reason, it does not seem to happen. The Dems have the money and one would think they would at least be trying but, apparently, not. I have other Democrats say, right out loud, that Biden is simply not somebody who can do that but there are a lot of Democrats that can, they have a lot of them getting paid working for the Biden re-election. But, it would also seem, the other side is not getting very educated.

I have, however, noted that there are some sites which answer questions (at least one) and many of those questions are about politics. quora.com is one of those. They have a section on trump questions. That one is pretty interesting (actually quora is pretty interesting)

As I watch tv and tv ads some of it is kinda interesting. One that I really do not understand is why Trump can make such a big deal out of the southern border after he stopped the house from passing their own bill which took care of the southern border. I have been keeping track of what I have seen about trump, the border, etc. and, so far, its been two weeks since I heard that Trump stopped the passing of their own bill on the border. One would think that SOMEBODY would say something about that???

This is, I suspect, the media giving Trump more time, lying and all the rest, without once, either on the political shows or advertisements, something pointing out that the Southern border thing is the fault of TRUMP!!! If the Dems really cared they would have a small add after every Trump media givaway pointing out the lie and what he did.

I know, not gonna happen, Dems just don't do mean things like that!
