Let's roll back the child tax credit for the plebes! They will just have to suck it up and give more tax breaks for billionaires! More tax breaks for yachts and private planes! You know, the "job creators" who want to work you to death for their wealth hoarding. And kids going to school? Forget that shit! It's back to the coal mines and factories for little Stevie and Janie.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk,
LVMH boss Bernard Arnault and family
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos,
Oracle founder Larry Ellison
Veteran investor Warren Buffett
has jumped from $405 billion in March 2020 to $869 billion in November 2023. Oxfam used data from Forbes and Wealth X which has not been independently verified by CNBC.
