Well, there's your problem. Trump says a lot of things, most not true.
No, they need to move DOWN on the compass and actually align their values with the majority of the people, return the fucking 70%+ tax on the rich just like before. It was done before and it worked for the longest fucking time.

40.8% looks good. There has to be motivation to become rich.
Why?
People get rich by doing something of value. Elon Musk started many innovative businesses.
Capitalists don't create Value, the workers do. Why should we give massive tax breaks to those whose wealth comes from exploiting workers?
