    So you support the new tax rate cut Trump is proposing?

    What is the basis of your assertion that is what high earners do or is it just jealousy?

    And now you can see the reasoning behind getting illegals to register illegally to vote. So democrats can pay them for their loyalty.

    Most high earners are intelligent people, they will invest their money where it is likely to get the optimum combination of safety and return, which right now is pretty high in Gold, although I can't say it's the optimum combination as I'm no expert in the field and it varies.

    This is why trickle down economics often doesn't work. If consumers don't have money to buy products it won't pay investors to make them. If nobody is buying washing machines then a maker of washing machines doesn't get rich by investing his new tax cut in more washing machines that will sit in a warehouse until nobody wants that model anymore, he puts his money into gold or an offshore account that pays well. And if he doesn't his board of directors will most likely fire him and then sue because he's violated his fiduciary interest

    As I understand it people have pretty high confidence in the economy right now, but they don't have much money. They would buy things if they could but you can't purchase things with confidence alone.

    Gold is strange. I only keep the minimum recommended amount as a rule. There are too many factors like the "latest conspiracy" which make its values too volatile for me.

    When the economy is doing okay I don't think you should borrow money for tax cuts like Trump did. But if you are going to do it, it would be more productive to give them to the bottom 50%.
    So why not flip the last ones?

    Well which is it you want tax relief for the middle class and support what Trump is proposing or you do not support tax relief for the middle class and oppose it. And the bottom 50% pays little to nothing anyway how can you cut their taxes anymore?

    No and while some wealthy people may have some money in gold it is not a huge investment for them. Most high earners and wealthy people invest in equities or own businesses outright. And when did trickle down not work and when did trickle up actually work? And if a CEO invested the stockholders money in gold or just parked it in some offshore account he most likely would be fired especially right now. Those people will have money to spend when they take one of the record 7,000 job openings we have.

    Try reading it again. I think it's pretty clear.

    On the second question.
    Since you are giving away money I would say give it to the poor. They will spend it.

    A few weeks back they were trying to destroy the rule of law and guilty until proven innocent.

    These people are trying to destroy American society.

    Every time I think the desperate dems can't get any lower, they do. Here they are, openly, trying to buy votes and take advantage of the folks the least well off, and doing so by raising taxes on the working class! This is truly the worst I have ever seen.

    The dems are not the party of the middle class-thats why the middle class supports Trump.

    The dems are now the party of freebies and elites.

    seriously with debt of 21T and increasing, GOV just don't care about the future of this country and only care about short term vote. These debt will eventually be repay one way or another. its like using unlimited credit card, without thinking about how to return the debt.

    Give em free ****, works for votes all the time. Kamala Harris is either a real stupid human being or really smart. Of course just listen to her open her mouth and one leans the the real stupid human being conclusion very quickly.

    They even aren't the party of the poor, because they don't want to help the poor advance in life, they want to keep them poor and dependent. It's truly sad.

    Simply untrue, they want to reform SS, Medicare and Medcaid...which are the largest drivers of our national debt, and are currently unsubstainable. The GOP wants to save the programs, so they exist...not fall apart.

    Also, the GOP isn't the party of the min wage...the Dems are...the Dems believe in min wages, the GOP doesn't believe in wage limits. While the Dems champion the cause of min wage, the GOP says go out and make whatever you can! Go support yourself!
