about, contributing to trump's election.

It's Nationalism, America First, by a dog whistle sounding name.

America has taken more than it's share of the world's wealth. 90% of those living in this country are the 5%er from a world perspective. This is just another attempt for America to isolate itself from the world.

I do agree with beliefs of Patriotic Millionaires:

-All citizens should enjoy political power equal to that enjoyed by millionaires;

-All citizens who work full time should be able to afford their basic needs;

-Tax receipts from millionaires, billionaires and corporations should make up a greater proportion of federal tax receipts.
