Wealthy CNN talking head advocates for dekulakization
As if it was a bad thing, CNN put a nasty spotlight on the people who take part in Trump flotillas, dune buggy rallies, and motorcycle parades. “What attendees have in common is disposable income to spend on fun,” the reporter chided. pic.twitter.com/cq3qH89Eat

Citing this report, Don Lemon spit venom at those well off Trump supporters.
He accused them of being ‘selfish’ because they didn’t want to fork over their hard-earned money in taxes.
“I don’t mind paying more taxes for people who are not doing well, to help other people out.” pic.twitter.com/7gVUxcJpWe— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) October 21, 2020
Lemon continued his attack on those Trump supporters by suggesting they didn’t live up to the Chrisitan values they espouse and didn’t want to help those less fortunate.
And told them: “So, maybe you buy one less dune buggy, maybe you buy one less fancy car.” pic.twitter.com/ILR8mUHNp5— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) October 21, 2020
Those guys with their fishing boats and dune buggies who are just selfish and don’t want to pay more in taxes, they are rich, screw them.
Except they are not
Who are they?
Well, I can tell you who they are in Huntsville. Most of them are engineers or technicians in the defense and aerospace industry. Salaries range from $35/hour for aerospace technologist (CMM operator or machinist who works in a NADCAP facility) to $150K for a mid career systems engineer.
They have a house in the suburbs and drive an F-150. They own a side-by-side or bass boat they got at Cabela’s for hunting or fishing. The worked hard to achieve that white collar or gray collar middle to upper middle class lifestyle.
Education is generally a four year technical degree or very specialized technical training (e.g. avionics or radar systems).
Under normal conditions they would be the salt of the earth professional middle class that so many people aspire to become.
But because they support Trump, they are the evil rich.
I am one of these people, although right now my side-by-side money is going to daycare, but one day I want to buy one.
Last year I paid roughly $26K in federal income taxes alone. Just me.
I put in the effort that I do to be able to enjoy a certain quality of life. I pay my taxes but it’s not my job to work to fund the Democratic party buying votes with government handouts. That seems to be Don Lemon’s and Chris Cuomo’s supposition.
It is especially egregious considering that they make $4 million and $6 million respectively.
Those two work a couple of hours a day spewing shit out if their lying lie holes and make millions and they want middle class professionals to forego the bass boat they worked hard for their adult lives to be able to buy.
I wonder if this is a message that will attract people to Biden or drive them to Trump.
I for one believe that after 11 years of school and four years as an EIT, I earned the salary I have today and I’m not going to be made to feel like shit that I chose to buy myself a toy instead of feeding the bureaucratic beast with it.
Fuck them.
