If You Think Trump's $350 Million Ballroom Won't Cost Taxpayers, You Don't Understand the Cost of Corruption | "Naked corruption is the biggest cost to the public from Trump’s big ballroom, but it is not the only one."

If You Think Trump's $350 Million Ballroom Won't Cost Taxpayers, You Don't Understand the Cost of Corruption

None of us should think that just because the ballroom is being bankrolled by greedy rich people seeking favor with the president that it won't have a down side for the rest of us.

America's billionaires have gotten $5 TRILLION richer since Trump passed tax breaks for the rich in his first term.

He said it would "trickle down."

But healthcare, groceries, rent, gas—everything is more expensive.

And he just passed even more tax breaks for the rich.

Trump’s Tax Cuts gave:

Google: $18 billion
Amazon: $16 billion
Microsoft: $12 billion
Facebook: $11 billion

The game is rigged. Corporate billionaires use their power to buy politicians who cut their taxes, then use a tiny fraction of those savings to keep those same politicians in power.

Just a reminder that 48% of SNAP recipients work full time. 39% of SNAP recipients are kids. 20% of SNAP recipients are seniors. If you think it's funny that people will go hungry you are a terrible person.
