63 billionaires have now publicly endorsed Trump

[flamingdem]

At least 63 billionaires have now publicly endorsed Trump, hosted a fundraiser for him, or contributed to Trump aligned PACs.

Why are they rallying behind him? Tax cuts, mostly. But there's more.

The more Trump tears down democracy, the safer the oligarchy becomes.

Be warned.

1. I just Googled how many billionaires there are in the US. There are 756

Hopefully the other 700 are more interested in keeping our Democracy.

2. Humans tend to be about their interests

I bet that the majority are voting for Trump to protect their riches.

My hope is that at least they don't donate as well!

5. But some also see things like the environment

abortion rights, economic and social justice issues as their interests.

I think not too long ago a wealthy guy died and looking into him he was a Democrat and contributed to many good causes and he made his money the honest way by investing his money to strenghten and grow business .

Some like Elon Musk And Peter Thiel are just misogynistic horrible people. They would be right wing leaning even if they weren't wealthy.

6. There's always Soros!

Rather his son now.

One thing I've learned is that the very wealthy often donate to both sides.
It's about influence, not political passion.

3. Good point.

7. Reich has been posting about this matter... one reason dems are freaking.

We have the manpower and the votes as long as elected dems get their shit together soon like this week.

8. They all need to be asked point blank why they support a child rapist.

I want to know. How many of these pricks have kids? Or would allow their daughter within a country mile of it?

9. CALL THIS SHIT OUT

YES INDEED

10. Unfortunately, too many gullible Americans don't see this as a warning

they find it aspirational in some way.

11. That is only 63 votes.

Their vote counts the same as mine. They can spend money, but we can be louder.

13. I really like your attitude...if we all give you a bullhorn, maybe shout from a roof top!

14. Agree with you 100%. The billionaire's $ could finance

24/7 ads on all commercial and cable channels and they likely wouldn't change a meaningful amount of votes.

12. It shouldn't matter what billionaires want...

15. If they think they will be "safer" under an authoritarian regime, they are delusional.

The reason the USA has so many billionaires is precisely because of our democracy.

We have laws in place to protect their rights, their property, their uber-status.

Replace those laws with the whims of a greedy, narcissistic, fantasy-prone, capricious authoritarian and those protections the rich rely on will be gone.

16. Scum floats.

17. The reason

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=19198272

Biden plans to tax millionaires and billionaires for their fair share. They have taken it personally. The bottom line greed.

18. That's too many billionaires. Tax the rich.

[superpatriotman]

19. 63 billionaires equals 63 votes

In a perfect, thinking system.
