“In fact, #PresidentXi congratulated me on so many tremendous successes in such a short period of time. Two years ago, we were, in fact, a Nation in decline. On that, I fully agree with President Xi! But now, the US is the hottest Nation anywhere in the world, and hopefully our relationship with #China will be stronger and better than ever before!”

@Rasta Accountants, of course, being middle class, lawyers being rich, and politicians being very rich.

@Rasta isn't paying taxes = paying politicians if the govt is corrupt and will eventually funnel the tax money into their own.
