I’ve had quite a successful and rewarding career that made a difference in people’s lives. And what did you do? Sell used cars?

Democrats.

As one example, Trump got a law enacted that reduced the deduction that a person could take for state and local taxes (aka SALT deduction). This hit the rich the hardest because they pay the most in those taxes, particularly if they live in a high tax blue state. The Democrats reversed that allowing their rich constituents to once again reap the benefits of a bigger tax deduction.

Democrats have large voter advantages in upscale urban areas dominated by college educated, mostly rich(er) types. The filthy rich give more heavily to Democrats than Republicans.

The Democrat party is the party of the rich and they are working damn hard to ensure they can keep their status intact and the riff raff in their place.

Trump Tells Rich Mar-a-Lago Friends "You All Just Got a Lot Richer" After Tax Bill

Your Kung Fu is weak grasshopper. Tell us everything you know about trump's tax giveaway to the rich. The penalty trump's Congress imposed on Blue states not only hasn't been repealed, but there is a bill in Congress that was introduced by Republicans in Blue states that calls for its end.

Why can't you ever tell the truth?

In NY, you don't have to be wealthy to pay more than $10k/year in taxes

As Democrats iron out their $1.75 trillion social and climate spending package, the plan may still include relief for the $10,000 cap on the federal deduction for state and local taxes, known as SALT.

The limit has been a pain point for high-tax states, such as New York, New Jersey and California, preventing Americans who itemize deductions from writing off more than $10,000 for property and state income taxes on their federal returns.

Repealing the cap on the state and local tax (SALT) deduction would exacerbate racial income and wealth disparities, according to an analysis released Tuesday from the left-leaning Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP).

The think tank’s report comes as a growing number of Democratic lawmakers are pushing for the SALT cap to be repealed in forthcoming infrastructure legislation.

My analyses helped put bad people in jails and prisons and even on death row.

I was the first person the cops sent in on clandestine drug lab raids.

I identified toxic and carcinogenic substances in our ground, surface and drinking waters for other scientists to take regulatory and remedial actions.

I was part of the response to anthrax scares at the beginning of the century.

I taught chemistry labs at the local university.

And you sold used Fords.

I stated the Democrats wanted to repeal this tax because they favor the rich, which they do.

That's not even close to what you stated, and it isn't Democrats introducing bills in Congress right now.

Who signed a lifetime tax cuts on corporations who were already only paying an effective tax rate of 16%?

Who made it possible for Amazon to get a tax refund check for $129 million in '18?

Corporations aren't "The Rich." You're changing the subject.

The thing about fake numbers is that it makes you think you know things that you dont actually know.

The United States is the only country in the Top 10 that has more than a few million population.

How would you feel about those "fake numbers" if you were British, French, German, Japanese ... or worse still, Russian?

The problem with the US is equity of distribution - always was. So do something about it. Elect Trump again, he's sure to fix it. Hey?
 
So, apparently, many righties turned immediately on this guy (at least online) for saying that our diversity is what makes us strong as a nation.

A lot of comments about how he has gone "woke."

Incredible. I hope Republicans adopt "anti diversity" into their platform.
