They, no doubt, hold considerable sway with (over?) them. Didn't Trump just give the "job creators" a sizable federal income tax break largely by increasing the deficit to do so?

Why is it that "job creators" (like Walmart) and those that receive capital gains (investment) income pay a flat federal income tax rate yet those with wage/salary income are (mostly) subjected to higher and more progressive federal income tax rates? IMHO, that can only be due to their considerable influence (via legal bribes aka campaign contributions) over the "leaders" who write such nonsense into our federal income tax laws.

It is true that businesses hold sway. But they're still not world leaders.
 
Will the triggered snowflakes go to their a·près-ski safe space whilst Trump speaks?:lol:
 
Given the current political climate, not surprising. Bilderburgers with a stick up their butts.

corrupt governments, armed resistant militants along with constant wars among different tribes even to this day continues to set the country back
years and years and years.

Africa is a continent. It has more than 50 countries and more than 50 cities with populations in excess of 1,000,000. Let's start from there.
