12. I do not think I am collateral damage

it is not a direct harm to me for this trickle down policy to rule. A few dimes might even be thrown my way.

But I say the government works for the top 20%, clearly illustrated by the permanent tax cuts they recently passed. $3.7 trillion in tax cuts. With $2.4 trillion going to the top 20%. They are clearly the primary beneficiaries. They got 65% of the benefits even though they are only 20% of the population. The bottom 60% of the population, OTOH, gets less than 20% of the benefits. Almost symmetrical that way, eh?
