I read a blurb on this yesterday:
Anyone who was 21 when Bush jr was initially elected albeit questionably so, witnessed a devaluation in lifestyles for poor through upper middle class Americans whilst CEOS income were majorly enhanced with a repeat performance of Trickle-downology, yet the core managed to stay all Rah! Rah! until the bitter end when banks were failing and people lost their homes and businesses before they opposed him. Trump Sr, a one termer, who, along with Reagon embraced trickle down economics, didn't fare much better.
Lather, rinse, repeat..
So here you go again, round 3. And yet, some people are still cheering for Trump in spite of losing health care, children being kidnapped, and this fake economy with utterly no mention of raising minimum wage. And now, economists are saying what ever gain people think theyve mae from wage increases will be surprised to learn inflation will put them farther behind. To borrow from Lt Col Ralph Peters, "The people supporting Trump are radicals, these couch-potato anarchists. They’re people that don’t have a program to make America great again. And by the way, America’s great right now. Rather, they’re destructive. They want to tear things down. They want vengeance."
Couch potato anarchists without a plan...
Oh well, more kids, 21 to 35, polled that they would support socialism as the door closed on Bush and Cheney. Maybe this time you'll hire a FTR as president

Most people will enjoy only a modest and temporary tax cut — families earning $25,00 or less will save on average just $60 on their federal tax this year, and those making between $48,600 and $86,100 will save $930, according to the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center. Families in the top 1 percent, on the other hand, will save an average of $51,140.
I read a blurb on this yesterday:
The average CEO of the largest 350 companies in the U.S. received $18.9 million in compensation last year, up from $16 million in 2016. The main difference in pay came from stock awards and cashed-in stock options, not salary growth, the analysis found.http://www.newsweek.com/trump-ceo-pay-wages-tax-cuts-1076795?amp=1
Under the Republicans’ tax plan, passed in 2017, companies spent 37 times more on stock buybacks than on bonuses or increased wages for workers. These buybacks bolstered share price and benefited top executives, who tend to receive stock as part of their compensation package.
