In reply to the discussion: Raw Story: WSJ editorial warns Elon Musk's 'blow-it-all-up' ideas will devastate U.S. economy [View all]Johnny2X2X
(22,243 posts)16. Not fair for the rich...
I think people have to realize that Musk and Trump want to blow it all up, not because they don't think the system works for regular people, but because they think it works too well for regular people. Republicans think working people have it too easy, they think people are lazy and need to work harder for less.
Their whole goal for blowing it all up is to make it easier for the rich to benefit the most from a new system and to ensure the rich have the benefit of preying on working people without government inteference.
That's what this is all about, the rich got sick of draining the working class little by little and decided to take it all at once.
