Liberals are all riled up about the fact that several of Trumps appointees are wealthy. Why weren't they complaining about all the rich people Obama appointed? Oh. That's right. They were liberals, so it's OK. Liberalism is a mental disorder, and this proves it.

That's what makes them liberals. They seem to think good jobs come from the poor.

It's not the fact that they are rich. It's how they made their money. You know by being smarter and working harder instead of acting like someone else in Hollywood, being a very mediocre quarterback in the NFL. Or putting filthy words to a beat and becoming a singing sensation. Obama's wealth has more than tripled since he took office. Where's the little snowflakes out rage? Something tells me not many lib will participate in this thread.

No, they think EVERYTHING comes from the big government that they worship.

It seems to me that on the topic of the economic well-being of the middle class Trump has hired the wolves to guard the henhouse:

- Secretary of the Treasury - Steven Mnuchin
Former Goldman Sachs executive. Investment banker, hedge fund founder. Partnered with George Soros to buy bankrupt lender IndyMac in 2009 for $1.6 billion, renamed it OneWest, and proceeded to foreclose on 16,220 federally insured reverse mortgages, which as you my know are largely held by older and retired people. And a Hollywood producer to boot (in a company that went bankrupt)

- Commerce Secretary - Wilbur Ross
Worked for 24 years for Rothschild bankers, widely touted by the far right as overlords of financial manipulation. Founded the International Coal Group, leveraging bankruptcy regulations to allow him to set it up free of labor unions, health care and pensions (how is this helpful to the miners of West Virginia???!!!)

As to the wealth of his other cabinet picks my personal, liberal view is that I do not care a whit that they are filthy rich. I just am flabbergasted that someone who ran on the idea that the oligarchic running of our country by wealthy elites was a bad thing, has consistently tapped that same group to continue their unfettered picking of the american pocket.

And I am saddened that those who elected Trump still, for some reason I do not understand, think these people will alter the system that made them very rich indeed, all at the expense of middle and poor Americans.

If it weren't for double standards, they would have no standards.

Yet you were for Hillary Clinton who made millions speaking to the Wall Street crowd and has always been an insider and yet you thought she would alter the system. Since I never was a Trump fan, more a never Hillary person I will be one of the first to vote against him if he goes back on his word. Banking and SEC financial regulations are so onerous and complicated that it might actually take an insider to straighten things out. I noticed under the current administration the insiders' and one per centers did better than ever and none of the mortgage culprits went to jail. Mnuchin has already impressed me with two of his opinions. He said cutting taxes is not the answer unless you cut government spending also. His other opinion I whole heartedly agree with is too dismantle most of the Dodd-Frank bill.

Maybe, it was because Trump promised to return the Government to the people - and they mistakenly believed they were part of the "people" Trump was referring to. Trump didn't lie, he just let you think he meant you - instead of HIS people, which is what he obviously meant. Yeah, it's liberals with the perception problem.

No, fence straddler, it is you, and your ilk who have the perception problem.

I just want to be certain I understand you correctly.

You seem to be saying Trump and his insiders can straighten things out but Hillary as an insider would have been unable to. Am I getting that right?

If you voted for Trump this time I hate to tell you it is too late to withdraw that one. He's gone back on all his promises he gave you when he wanted your vote; what makes you think he will keep any new promises he makes now that he will be president?

Unlike you, I'm willing to give him a chance and actually wait to see what he does. I know exactly what Hillary would do. That's why I voted for Trump. Tell me. Be honest. Do you really believe that I should have voted for the bitch, instead of Trump? If so, then I have absolutely no respect for you.
