All of this talk about Trump's cabinet members being the richest in history is misleading and/or dishonest.

If you take into account inflation you can look up JFK's cabinet and FDR's to discover that they may be the richest.

For instance ... You keep hearing how Trump is the richest President Elect in history which is also untrue.

When George Washington took office in 1789, his worth was around 525 million dollars.
($1.00 in 1789 is equal to over $25.00 today!)

In today's dollars that equates to just over Thirteen Billion Dollars!

Doesn't anyone here have a memory, geez the election campaign wasn't that long ago.

It did not refer to a direct transfer of wealth (money "trickling down" from above). One still has to work. It just means there is more opportunity.



I guess we shouldn't expect Leftist to understand something so complex as basic economics. It's kind of "outside your wheelhouse."
No. Trickle down starts one level above, at the top percenters needing tax breaks so that they would be free to spend that new money and kick start the economy. The businesses benefit from this spending, which in turn benefits the rest of society. But the start is the wealthy having more disposable income to spend.

Trump's freshly drained swamp is starting to look more like "Scrooge McDuck's" penny vault. Stacked ceiling to floor with money.

Rewrite the history to fit your agenda. You might want to add that that 1995 tax return showed a 885 million tax write off good for the next 20 years. That meant effectively that Trump paid no federal taxes from 1995 until 2015. trumps response was, "It makes me smart". My response is "It makes me sick."

Pathetic whiney winners.
