@BillKristol US oligarchs are betting that Trump is the one to further weaken federal oversight, reverse anti-trust actions and push through another round of regressive tax cuts. US oligarchs want not ‘small’ government but weak and ineffectual government….easier to exploit for private gain.

NEW: America's billionaires are now worth a record $5.8 TRILLION. That's a 99% increase in wealth since Trump and Republicans slashed taxes for the rich in 2017. Much of those wealth gains will never be taxed. We don't need another Trump tax scam—we need to tax the rich.
