While we have our eyes on the big picture: The threat to democracy posed by Donald Trump, whose disregard for the rule of law, the electoral process, and the peaceful transfer of power, are well documented, let us not forget that his real economic policies favor the rich. Those policies include keeping the massive tax cut for them with crumbs for the rest of us, that was his main accomplishment in his first term.
Also well documented is the massive transfer of wealth to the already wealthy, our very own oligarchs, ever since Reagan helped jumpstart trickle down economics. The rich want to keep that money spigot flowing their way, which is why Elon Musk and his ilk are supporting Trump. These wanna-be oligarchs haven’t learned the history lesson that if you create an autocratic system, you are then at the mercy of the whims of your fearless leader. And we’ve seen that Trump's demands for loyalty only go in one direction—towards him!
In Washington State, we have our own rich guy, Brian Heywood, who has funded four initiatives to keep that spigot flowing upward (I-2109,I-2117,I-2124, and I-2166). All are designed to take away things that will benefit the many to enrich the few. Vote NO on them all.
The Harris/Walz ticket and the Democrats want to challenge Trump’s “socialism for the rich” mentality, and provide more avenues for wealth building among the shrinking middle class. Those avenues include: adding living-wage jobs, increasing manufacturing, assistance in childcare, in starting small businesses, in building housing, and in being able to afford those houses once built. Home ownership is a big step towards building generational wealth, a step that has been denied to many in our country. Vote Democrat up and down the ballot.
