    I was at a nice restaurant last night listening to rich folks rejoicing/chuckling over size of tax cuts they'll get in the name of populism.https://twitter.com/RadioFreeTom/status/802914231502929920 …

        Hard to explain to people that your vote against Trump was a vote against your own self-interest, but populists never get it.

        yeah, a lot of people vote against their self-interest. Some knowingly, others not so much. I'm not angry, just disappointed.

        @RadioFreeTom what do you think they do with the money they keep ? Buy good/services from whoever provides them. Maybe you.
