It seems not.

It must irk those that dislike Trump that the chosen one is more likely to be residing in a home for the befuddled than the W H next year.

Tied to the civil rights movement, emboldened and funded by the Welfare State, voters figured out they could vote themselves money from the treasury.  And politicians figured out that keeping the economy in a constant state of turmoil and decline would scare the voters into doing whatever the state wanted.  Then, they decided that Corporations are people, too and opened the floodgates to massive donations to curry favor.

 

It's pretty well hooped unless someone comes in and cleans it up.

 

Meanwhile the hyper wealthy bypassed all that with the aid of ‘Citizens United’.

 

Bought them selves a political party, got a President into the bargain and Trump paid them back with over $1Trillion in tax cuts.

They're doin' even better under Biden than they did under Trump:

 

Four years ago, the United States entered the Covid-19 pandemic. Forbes published its 34th annual billionaire survey shortly after with data keyed to March 18, 2020. On that day, the United States had 614 billionaires who owned a combined wealth of $2.947 trillion.

Four years later, on March 18, 2024, the country has 737 billionaires with a combined wealth of $5.529 trillion, an 87.6 percent increase of $2.58 trillion, according to Institute for Policy Studies calculations of Forbes Real Time Billionaire Data. (Thank you, Forbes!)

 

Those dates don't match exactly the Biden years, but the gist is there...

Another lame attempt at blaming Biden for something which has been caused by the Covid crisis and is not specific to the U.S.

 

Too bad you included 2020 under Trump's mandate in the comparison!

Quote from the article:

 

"According to research from Americans for TaxFairness and the Institute for Policy Studies, between 18 March 2020 and 19 February 2021, the combined wealth of US billionaires increased by $1.3trn, a 44.6% increase in the space of just 48 weeks.

The concentration of wealth is staggering. There are now 661 billionaires in the US, with a total wealth of $4.26trn as of 19 February 2021, up from $2.9trn on 18 March 2020, nearly a year earlier."

BTW, who gave them tax cuts allowing them to become even richer, and still wants to give them even more tax cuts?

 

This is not specific to the U.S., the same phenomenon occured in the whole world

 

"The total wealth of billionaires worldwide rose by $5tn to $13tn in 12 months, the most dramatic surge ever registered on the annual billionaire list compiled by Forbes magazine."

Not only did the rich increase their wealth during the pandemic, but they also have been able to buy assets for cheap, assets which value naturally increased post-pandemic.
