The biggest faker of all is none other than President Donald Trump. He is posin as a “Conservative,” but he is actually a fake conservative.
What is my evidence? You can look this up for yourself on the Internet.
In 1999, he proposed that the Congress pass a new “national wealth tax” (not income) of 14.25 percent on all individuals who have a “net-worth”/”net-wealth” of $10 million and higher. That is a very “liberal” idea.
He wanted the money generated by it to be spent on two items:
1. Totally eliminating the national debt (that sounds “conservative”).
2. Spending the remainder on adding it to the Social Security Trust Fund to make it more fully solvent for additional years (that does not sound “conservative”).
I am assuming that most of us know that it is fully solvent through the year 2034 meaning that there is absolutely no reason to cut benefits right now (which the less-than totally-truthful conservatives in the Congress do not want the public to know). They love suggesting to the people of our country that Social Security is about to go “broke” and “bankrupt” any day now. They know that that is a lie.
But, haven’t you heard them saying it? We all have. This man has been posing as a “Conservative.” He has been masterfully manipulating all of us and playing us for fools and suckers, both his supporters and his critics.
