A Government by Billionaires for Billionaires

 Democrats are complaining that Trump is creating a government by billionaires for billionaires.

I say and this is different from previous governments how?

The Democrats could have undone the Trump tax cuts...but they didn't.

The Democrats could have restored the SALT deductions...but they didn't.

The Democrats could have undone Trump's tariffs...but they didn't. In fact Biden increased tariffs on China.

Either party could have addressed Social Security...but they didn't. In fact the last time the SS trust fund was going to be exhausted in 1983 congress waited until a month before it hit $0 before it did anything.

Either party could have added vision and dental to Medicare...but they didn't.

Either party could have allowed Medicare to negotiate the price of all drugs rather than simply the 10 they allowed...but they didn't.

Either party could have seriously begun investigating Universal Healthcare...but they didn't.

Either party could have established a rational minimum wage...but they didn't.

Honestly, I don't see much of a difference between the two parties when it comes to caring for the people who get up every day, go to work and keep the place running. Maybe we need a fucking general strike to remind them who pays their salaries.
