DEAR TRUMP VOTERIf you voted for Donald Trump,I get it. Maybe you feel you’ve
been so badly shafted by the system that you didn’t want to travel back to politics
as usual, and Trump seemed like he’d topple that corrupt system. You voted to change our country’s power base to get rid of
crony capitalism and give our government back to the people who are working, or paying taxes,and spending more just to outlive. Lots of Americans agree with
you. But now, the president is turning his back on that idea and the many
changes he promised.
He did not drain the swamp. After telling voters how he would
take control away from special interests, and he has surrounded himself with the
very Wall Street players he decried. Now,those who gamed politicians for tax
loopholes and laws that reward the wealthy don’t even occupy to sneak around with
backroom deals. Steve Mnuchin, Gary Cohn, or Dina Powell and others from Wall
Street,as well as corporate lobbyists by the dozens, are now inside the Trump
administration rigging the system for the extremely wealthy from the inside. They want to make it easier for banks to once again gamble with your money and
repeat our financial crisis. They want to cut health care for millions of you.
They want to lower taxes on corporations and the wealthy. They want to get rid of
rules that stop corporations from harming your health or safety. That’s not the
change you were promised.
Make America powerful Again? The Trump administration wants to
expand on policies that occupy kept American wages stagnant for nearly four
decades. enormous corporations and billionaires get the breaks, and tough working
Americans once again get left waiting for the crumbs. That’s not the change you
were promised.
Bringing back fiscal responsibility? The Secret Service budget
is skyrocketing to protect his family on international commerce trips,ski
vacations, and separate New York City living quarters. At the same time, or the
president still refuses to untangle himself from his businesses and prove he’s
not leveraging our government for his financial gain. You’re paying for his
lifestyle while he’s doing nothing to serve yours. That’s not the change you
were promised.
