      What are you talking about, that was the greatest period of time. Children worked in factories, mines, fields. 18% of American workers were cheap labor under 16 years old. They could fit into small spaces and fix machinery. Sometimes they would loose limbs or die, but that's fine. It would save time and money to rich industrials and it's a good justification to make more babies. Also when childs have to work or die of famine, you don't have to finance a school system and they're not comiting crime. Everyone's a winner really.

    #1. Create an enemy to hate and blame for all your woes and problems. If you can create more than one so much the better.
    #2. Discredit all media and reinforce the idea that yours is the only true word
    #3. Establish your Administration of loyalists to you only and your word.
    #4. Create a super judicial group (like the Gestapo or The Proud Boys) whom you can call on for pressure and intimidation and other activities you cannot order regular groups to perform like the police or the military.
    #5. Establish a system whereby third parties can funnel money to the leader in some way (like buying their Crypto) to legally bribe the leader for preferential treatment. Use your loyalists (see #3) to obstruct others from getting the government to do what you want unless a “tribute” has been paid to the leader.

The wealthiest could have their net worth cut in half and not even notice. It's an imaginary number to them at that point. It wouldn't affect their lives in the least. For many Americans, having their worth cut in half might destroy their lives. The impact is incredible. By what you've said, I infer you're probably a Christian. Do you recall the parable of the widow's offering? Perhaps it isn't perfectly analogous to this context since it's referring to someone giving to the church instead of the government.

      One key difference: Camacho is more than happy to hire on people who are way smarter than him to help fix the country's problems. Trump, meanwhile, fills his cabinet with Yesmen because _he would rather remove his toupee in public_ than ever admit that he isn't the smartest man in the room.

    It's in Trump's genes and upbringing. Trump's father Fred was arrested in New York City in 1927, when a group of Klansmen got into a brawl with police officers during a Memorial Day parade in Queens. There is a document trail, and the names, dates, and addresses match up. The New York Times published a story about the riot and the seven men who were arrested; Fred Trump is mentioned by name. His address is given at 175-24 Devonshire Road, Jamaica, New York City, and the federal census of 1930 shows that Fred Trump resided there.
