The Trumpty Dumpty Report
In a time of deceit, telling the truth
is a revolutionary act- George Orwell
No legacy is so rich as honesty-William Shakespeare
Nicholas Kristof calls
“Market Leninism” a combination of relatively free-market economics and
authoritarian one-party rule.
This system is full of
corrupt cronyism with top down control. Big money investors send their capital
into one-party state projects in order to enrich their returns. Market
Leninists use the intrigue and enticement of government programs with sweet
tax-free benefits that increase profits to invest in.
What we have is a program
called “Opportunity Zones”, a Market Leninist government program created to
make wealthy investors even richer through tax-free incentives designed by
Trump, Stephen Miller and others within this corrupt administration.
The program is designed to
improve poor cities by investing private capital to develop projects that bring
jobs, while improving the communities. What actually happened was to make
Trump’s family, friends, and supporters even richer by developing projects:
hotels, restaurants, luxury condo/apartments, student housing, shops,
distilleries, high end office configurations and projects that really don’t
meet the needs of the community in distress. These projects cater to the
upscale population that buys low and sells high.
In return, the investors
get tax benefits, such as tax-free capital gains and tax-free benefits if they
hold onto their investment shares for 10 years before selling out.
These projects are not
improving the cities but take cheap properties to re-develop for huge capital
gains.
Kushner, Scaramucci, Chris
Christie, Trump family members and others who have capital investment companies
have gotten into this Market-Leninist scheme. Democrats have been drinking up
this Kool-Aid scheme, such as, New Jersey’s presidential candidate—Cory Booker.
No doubt, he must have thought this program would help improve Newark’s
infrastructure, quality of life, and job prospects for those living in the
city. Sadly, it hasn’t happened that way for many of these Opportunity Zones.
The Cretin’s sole reason
for running for president was to make those in his circle very, very rich and
create a tax cut (2017) that added a provision allowing real estate and
property developers to invest in tax-free projects and receive other tax
benefits. This system uses a largely one-party rule to strengthen their power
as a one-party system, since many who are poor and don’t benefit from these
projects are kept from voting through one way or another---access to polling
stations, voting registration card problems, voting intimidation tactics, etc.
Trump was elected because
he told his party Market-Leninists that he would appoint their loyalists to
cabinet positions, give a fat-cat tax-cut with benefits, and sell off public
assets to the private sector.
Trump is following in
Putin’s footsteps--the creation of an oligarchy in control of government.
On a final
note, The Idiot-in-Chief said, “I’m not sure that I’ve even heard of a Category
5 [hurricane].” During his time in the White House, Hurricane Dorian will be
the 4th one that had been classified as a Category 5 hurricane.
“…but a Category 5 is something that I don’t know that I’ve ever even heard the
term other than I know it’s there.” Last May, when a Category 5 hurricane was
causing a path of destruction, the Idiot-in-Chief said the same thing! “It’s
big stuff”, said The Cretin.
Trump is totally
incompetent to sit in the White House. His personal assistant was fired because
she was tired of changing his diapers, picking up his toys, and feeding him his
Fish Cracker snacks.
