Mr. D. Goes to Washington: Make America Great! Again! Part 1
What does "Make America Great Again" mean?
This is a more general overview of basic knowledge that turned me from a Conservative Republican into a Tax and Spend Liberal. But in a more general way, this video addresses what I think a lot of Trump voters were looking for when he said, "Make America Great Again!"
To all of you here helping me continue to make these ridiculously enlightening and overwhelmingly entertaining videos, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! B

There are some who make a billion dollars or more per year. FYI that is $532,000 per hour (includes a two week unpaid vacation and all federally mandated holidays). Also, please emphasize that those tax rates you mentioned are only for their brackets. Most people think 91% applied to all of the income of those folks, which I agree would be confiscation. But everyone pays based upon the same brackets, the higher brackets only apply to the money earned above the bracket minimum. You could have also added that corporate tax revenues have plummeted since the 1950's as a % of GDP, putting the burden more on individuals, which our bought off politicians have made sure to have been shifted onto the middle class and off of the Mitts.
Actually, the highest earner I could find in 2015 was 309 million. But that's still what used to be called "obscene wealth" or "filthy rich" — two phrases we no longer use. I'll be doing an episode about that too. Thanks.
great points
My Republican sister-in-law was annoyed by college kids whining about debt because she simply had to work part time to pay for her college, oblivious that her college was so cheap because it was subsidized by tax payers!
Excellent! I'm applauding!
