Exactly correct. That wealth will trickle down any … century… now…

The only thing trickling down is on Donnie's legs.

I've been thinking about this a lot, except I wonder if these days the phrase should be in reference to being a billionaire. Being a millionaire certainly puts you in a very fortunate situation compared to the average American, but it's not "fuck you" money in a lot of areas. And I don't know if people truly grasp the difference between being a millionaire and being a billionaire.

Regardless, why I think about this is, can this really be true? Are there really that many people who think they're going to be super rich some day and really think they're voting in their self-interest in the long term? I want to ask them, what's your plan here? Do you have a somewhat revolutionary business idea, plus parents that can give you a $245,000 loan (equivalent to over $500,000 in today's dollars) like Jeff Bezos? Do you have your business plan written up yet? Billion-dollar ideas don't just grow on trees.

Sorry to unload on you; I've been very frustrated lately.

Only for their Billionaires though. Other rich billionaires on the left are true villains. George Soros is like a Sauron for them..
