Trump Supporters Being Conned on Tax Reform

Bill Mayer asks President Trump's supporters regarding the administration’s tax reform plans —“You know you’re being conned, right?”

"For Maher, however, the problem remains that 'the only prescription Trump has for unrigging the economy is tax cuts' that will 'almost exclusively benefit the people who are doing the rigging...
Most of the people in Trump’s audience don’t make enough to pay income tax at all, don’t own corporations,' he added. 'And the closest they’ve ever been to an estate was when they visited Graceland.”

Blind following of people at the top - believing lies that supporting the top will benefit the lower groups - is what keeps hierarchies strong and lower people engaged.
