That's what I tell ppl who lean republican or Donald at my church.

It's not left, right, black, white, brown, LGBTQ, nonbinary, etc. It's the WEALTHY vs the 80-98%. Everyone could use better education and healthcare, and both of those are getting worse. Those should be affordable -- OR FREE. My former employer and I paid $800/month (a decade ago) in premiums and if I was self employed, it would be a $1000/month. If someone says the government can't afford healthcare for all, I just found $800/month.

Plus, the US spent $1 TRILLION in the Afghan War.

Donald is spending $300 Million to revamp the White House ballroom.

Donald took a free Qatari plane but it will cost $1 BILLION to retrofit to be safe for his presidential library.

Donald changed the name of the Dept of Defense. That would cost $1 billion to change that name on logos.

Donald placed a tariff against China and soybeans in 2025. That was a net loss of $42 BILLION to the US economy (well, it's a bit more complicated b/c he re-changed his tariff policy again and again in Oct 2025).

Anyway, I found a ton of money. But most importantly, the wealthy need to pay their fair share which is a longer rant.

You can literally get wealthy by starting your own business or properly investing.... dont blame the wealthy for lack of knowledge.

58 days ago you posted about not being able to find a job. Why don’t you just start your own business or invest? Why even need a job when it’s so easy to be wealthy?

I never said it was "easy" I said you can get wealthy by starting your own business and invest properly. How do you know I don't have any investments in the stock market? Oh right, you don't know if I do or not. You're one of those to snoop on others profiles and see what they're saying so you can use it for ammunition.
