Trump Screwed His Voters! - And Laughs All The Way To The Bank!
-----
Did you know that current tax law allows Wall Street hedge fund managers to pay roughly half the tax rate than those earning traditional wages?
And, did you know that tax deductions claimed by hedge funds, which were included in Trump’s 2017 tax plan, are set to expire next year?
As Congress prepares for the 2025 fight over expiring portions of the Trump tax scam, Donald Trump has tapped Wall Street hedge fund executive Howard Lutnick to head his presidential transition team.
And Trump is considering multiple hedge fund managers as his next Treasury Secretary including Scott Bessent of Key Square Capital Management, Marc Rowan of Apollo Global Management, and Howard Lutnick himself who also appears to be Elon Musk’s first choice.
Why would Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, use some of his political capital to urge Donald Trump to appoint a hedge fund manager as Treasury Secretary?
Because Musk benefits exponentially from tax and regulation policies that the Treasury Department oversees.
Wall Street lobbyists are flooding Capitol Hill, working to secure a renewal and expansion of their big, beautiful tax breaks that benefit millionaires, billionaires, and corporations.
We’re demanding tax policies that level the playing field for working people!
