Perhaps you should lay off the red kool aid for awhile and re-read that article. As for your Cicero Institute article praising the merits of the disastrous 2017 Trump/GOP tax cuts for corporations and billionaires as "sound policy," please study the data about who actually benefited most significantly from that trickle down Trump/GOP boondoggle-- not based on rates, per se, but on actual dollars. It was another massive GOP tax policy scam chiefly benefiting billionaires, foreign and domestic, while contributing to Trump's $8 trillion dollar budget deficit from 2017-2021.

Most law-lobbying forces in DC align with both major political parties. Some members of Jones Day may have tilted into the Trump Administration, but evidently regretted doing so. But rest easy---- Jones Day Staff Gives More To Clinton Than To Client Trump By Jimmy Hoover and Michael Macagnone | November 8, 2016, 2:17 PM EST Donald Trump has given Jones Day millions in legal work, but donations from the firm's employees favor Hillary Clinton by a more than 70-1 margin. This article is the second in a four-part series. https://www.law360.com/articles/857975/jones-day-staff-gives-more-to-clinton-than-to-client-trump Well, 70-to-1 suggests a tilt. Jones Day Adds Top Obama-Era Justice Department Lawyers After helping to stock the Trump administration with legal firepower, Jones Day brought on a pair of high-profile names from the Obama Justice Department, Benjamin Mizer and Shirlethia Franklin. September 07, 2017 at 04:05 PM https://www.law.com/nationallawjournal/almID/1202797487740/ OK, some Jons Day are such reactionary right-wing nuts that Obama bigwigs sign up.

Zero Zip Nada And Trump's sleazy propaganda strategy of riling up the "working class" about student loan forgiveness appears to be part of a broader GOP propaganda strategy-- playing upon the resentment of working people who didn't have an opportunity to go to college, (while pushing and preserving GOP tax cuts for billionaires.)

Steve Thomas Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Explosive report claims a phony Rothschild heiress infiltrated Mar-a-Lago and Trump’s inner circle by Brad Reed August 26, 2022 https://www.rawstory.com/trump-mar-a-lago-spies/ “An explosive new report from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette claims that the FBI is investigating a Russian-speaking Ukrainian immigrant named Inna Yashchyshyn who allegedly gained repeated access to former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort under a fake identity.” “The partner testified in a court affidavit that Yashchyshyn used "her fake identity as Anna de Rothschild to gain access to and build relationships with U.S. politician[s], including but not limited to Donald Trump, Lindsey Graham, and Eric Greitens." In fact, there is even a photo of Yashchyshyn at Mar-a-Lago standing on the golf course with both Trump and Graham.” “Nonetheless, the FBI is still investigating her as a potential foreign intelligence threat. Charles Marino, a former Secret Service supervisor, tells the paper that "the question is was it a fraud or an intelligence threat,” and then added that "the fact that we are asking this question is a problem." And, so it begins. Steve Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
