12. They believe the lies that the wealthy class tells them

1) We, the wealthy and powerful, will share our power with you.
. . . hint: they won't. They will exploit the desperation of the poor.

2) We are concerned about your plight.
. . . hint: they ain't. They are the leading contributor (e.g. the fight against
. . . raising minimum wage, wage disparity, tax cuts for wealthiest, etc.)

3) Only people of low character (i.e. POC) remain in poverty.
. . .You can be wealthy, just like us, because you are just like us
.
. . .hint: it's very hard just to climb to the next higher economic rung.
. . . It's easier to win the lottery than become a billionaire. There are
. . . 2,153 billionaires in the U.S, and the total adult population is roughly
. . . 254,000,000 ! That's 0.000008% -- or -- just 8 people out of every
. . . one million. Delusion and fantasy.

4) We are your true saviors. (e.g the job creators, lifting all boats)
. . .hint: they stand against your interests (e.g. labor unions, affordable
. . .health care, affordable education, a minimum living-wage, etc.)

BUT only if you vote for us. . . . suckers . . . .
