A brief recent history of U.S economics.

Before Reagan the wealthy (individuals and corporations) paid a lot of tax. Roads got built, schools, hospitals...its a long list. Then Reagan and bush senior got elected and you had a $2T deficit under Reagan and then $4T under bush senior because they cut tax on the wealthy.

Clinton came in and raised taxes again and republicans all voted against it and said it was going to kill the economy and guess what...set a record for the best job creation of all time creating over 23 million jobs. More than Reagan,  bush senior and w bush combined.

Under Clinton the budget deficit shrank every year and then 4 straight budget surpluses in his second term. The republicans voted to use the surplus for a $1T tax cut for guess who? Then W bush came in and passed 2 more tax cuts and lead into the recession.

Then Citizens United got passed in 2010. Spending unlimited money on campaigns by corporations and donors became first amendment "free speech". Elected politicians pushed further reductions of corporate tax rates and increased budget deficits have followed. Meanwhile profits reached all time highs, wages stagnated, and the number of people needing food assistance ballooned.

In his first 11 months of his second term Donald J Trump managed to spend 177.5 years worth of presidential salary on golf, mostly at his own resorts of course.

And now Trump has borrowed $50 Billion a week for the past 5 months (as of March 13 2026).

By the 19th of March 2026 US debt surpasses $39 trillion amid the Iran war. - “At the current growth rate, we will hit a staggering $40 trillion in national debt before this fall’s elections,”

Now you're starting to see how he bankrupted casinos and every other business he's ever touched.

Bezos just bought himself a new yacht. It cost half a billion $. It needs a $75 million "support yacht". Annual maintenance is at least $30 million. But tell me he can't pay more tax. Tell me that he can't possibly pay his workers more.

If you got paid $200 per hour since the birth of jesus (estimate) you would have approximately 0.4% of Elon Musks wealth. If you got $1 million a day for 2026 years, you still wouldn't have as much wealth as Elon Musk. But the U.S.A can't afford healthcare for everyone like every other civilised country.
