But if we could put some average income people at a table and come up with a list of demands of what would be good to have - the things like health care, social security - those things would be very important to us. The problem is that the right throw up their hands and say "well who is going to pay for that?" and then throw out any wedge issue that will stick to the wall to distract.
The way we do it is reallocate and distribute tax dollars to help the most amount of people. This is exactly opposite of what Trump wants. He wants huge tax breaks for himself and billionaire friends. Musk et al are sitting up there with him because they want those tax breaks, plus they want us to pay for their pet projects like "Musk on Mars". Seriously, and somehow they convince people to do it (or they hack the voting machines).
