"Tax cuts for billionaires don't grow on trees."

That's chump change compared to the billions handed out to democrats and their friends. The adults are in charge now, it's all being uncovered and names are being named. What's next: prosecutions! Exciting times we live in.

Did you hear about the $30 billion in gold that the dead guy stole before he left office to split with his family and friends? LOL A tiny drop in the bucket... and now the IRS is about to be audited. Trillions of tax dollars pass through it every year. Imagine what has been stolen. "tax cuts for billionaires"
All the extreme left propaganda in the world won't stop what is coming. :popcorn:

handouts,
contracts,
looking the other way with fraud and criminal activity,

There are so many things billionaires purchase with their money
that hurt middle class folks.

Trump was responsible for 8 trillion of the 37 trillion national debt during his first term.

Look for him to top his record during his second.

Ford CEO is having a heart attack over tariffs. Meanwhile, GM did their homework and we have contingencies and mitigation strategies in place.

"If you were successful, you would have stated that you cured cancer, flew to the moon, climbed Mount Everest, or even started your own pizza shop; something tangible, not financial gimmicks."

First you were wrong by conflating the failures of the state with successful people. I stated the difference; that successful people are NOT politicians. Now you want to redefine success. At one point, you will notice that you are alone in the world, tilting at windmills and that you have pushed everyone away.
I SEE YOU.

You are confusing failed Democrat policies with "successful people".
Successful people own assets and make great investments. They don't run grift schemes via government boondoggles, run the department of education or blue cities.

"Instead of hating successful people, maybe the lower classes should learn from them."

Successful people don't ring up 37 trillion in debt.
Successful people don't cheapen and hollow out companies.
Successful people don't degrade cities and lower standards so children
can barely read or do mathematics.
I think you have confused 'success' with disingenuous and financial fraud.

GM is not even breaking a sweat. Mary has a robust tariff flexing mitigation strategy, known as TarFlex.

The 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum is fine.

GM will just substitute and utilize its cardboard supply to compensate for expensive steel.

The revised designs should be interesting.

The recalls will be hilarious.

"Rich people" don't buy working class vehicles in the same way that they don't buy Gucci.
It's tacky.
Poverty mindset is keeping up with neighbors, and flaunting wealth that doesn't exist via high interest credit cards and loans.
If you live this lifestyle, you will die in debt and there's no one to blame but yourself.
Instead of hating successful people, maybe the lower classes should learn from them.

'This proves Marry was into something by only making 100k trucks and SUVs.
Rich people don't care about 25 percent price increases, so sales won't suffer.'

how many rich people do you think there are?
you think rich people are buying trucks?

I'm sure it won't affect the price of cars.

Or sales.
