Prophet Ear Ring

I can pay rent and health but not eat
Or I can eat and live in the street
If I trade my mask
For a whiskey flask
We could celebrate Trump's defeat!

Yes, you are fortunate to live where leaders have more common sense than empty pockets! Aloha! Rico

Trump's tax cuts enabled MacKenzie Scott to earn $23.6 BILLION dollars so far this year, but the wealth did NOT "trickle" down because no one wants to invest in an erratic government operated by toadies instead of professionals. Corporations are sitting on huge cash reserves waiting for a stable government instead of one rocked by trade wars, revenge, and pandemics!
