While the Billionaires the top 1% are bad the upper 20 % are really inflicting the worst damage on the lower 80% of income.

The big payday they've been waiting for. When it fails they'll just say the metrics didn't go as planned. They will go precisely as planned by adding more debt and putting it in the accounts of those that need it the least. They spread a few million around to make billions in return and laugh all the way to the bank. The math is fairly simple - if the taxation on corporations has led to huge debt, you don't decrease it. You increase it and cut spending. If they are so hamstrung to compete globally, why are they posting record profits? There's not much anyone can do to stop it, because the wheels are in motion.
