The 1% used capitalism to leverage wealth out of the hands of everyone else, which caused a surge in populism, fear, and anger, which enabled Trump to rise. Then they funded him because he redirected the fear and anger at other citizens instead of the 1%. And now they're using him to disassemble our democracy and make it work even more in their favor. And so the oligarchy transforms back into the aristocracy it was born from.</p><p>Future generations must not forget. If you don't want fascism, don't allow aristocracy or oligarchy to form.

WYM Mod<p>John Amato reveals how Scott Bessent, former Trump Treasury Secretary, disregarded crucial tax research data from the Tax Policy Center and Yale Budget Lab. Bessent focused on discrediting researchers because of their ties to the Biden administration, ignoring evidence that shows wealth disparity would worsen under the “Big Beautiful Ugly” bill. This exposes a tendency among some Trump supporters to undermine inconvenient truths.

Aaron<p>This is because billionaires only come to exist by founding or investing in for-profit companies. Only for-profit companies can concentrate wealth to that degree, by harvesting it from the workers and consumers.
