Why Big Money Supports Trump


Robert Reich【为什么大财团支持特朗普?】

法西斯主义有大金主的支持,是所有政治联盟中最危险的联盟之一。 我们在 20 世纪 30 年代的德国看到过这种情况,当时工业巨头们在希特勒大选前为资金紧张的纳粹党提供了救助,认为希特勒会保护他们的金钱和权力。 我们现在也看到了类似的情况。


今年早些时候,美国共和党快没钱了,于是特朗普向他的富豪支持者求助。 许多曾批评特朗普煽动 1 月 6 日暴力事件的超级富豪捐款人后来改变了主意,认为他们的利益比我们的民主更有价值。 特朗普向他们承诺,如果当选,他将把 2017 年主要针对富人的减税政策延长到 2025 年之后,届时这些政策将到期。他还暗示了更多。 你们富得流油。我们会给你们减税。 他向石油高管承诺,如果他们向他的竞选团队提供 10 亿美元,他将废除有利于电动汽车和风能的法规。


特朗普的白宫正在出售,富人正在购买。 截至 5 月,50 个亿万富豪家族提供了至少 6 亿美元的政治捐款,其中超过三分之二用于支持共和党候选人和保守派事业。 埃隆-马斯克是世界上最富有的人之一,同时也控制和操纵着世界上最大的通信平台之一,他承诺每月花费数百万美元选举特朗普。 而特朗普也承诺会让马斯克物有所值。我们必须让我们的聪明人过上好日子,而他和你一样聪明。


在之前的视频中,我强调了过去的法西斯政权与特朗普主义之间惊人的相似之处。 美国亿万富翁与特朗普的反民主运动是最危险的匹配。 亿万富翁们希望我们其他人互相争斗,这样我们就不会抬头看看所有的财富和权力都去了哪里,这样我们就不会联合起来向超级富豪增税,为儿童保育、更好的学校、医疗保健系统以及我们需要的其他一切提供资金。


他们害怕民主,因为我们的人数远远多于他们。 我们需要看穿他们的恐惧策略,在今年 11 月以压倒性的票数投票。 我们可以以史为鉴,认清危险。 我们注定不会重蹈覆辙。


Why Big Money Supports Trump

Fascism, backed by big money, is one of the most dangerous of all political alliances. We saw it in 1930s Germany, when industrial giants bailed out a cash strapped Nazi party right before Hitler's election, thinking that Hitler would protect their money and power. We're seeing something similar now.


Earlier this year, the GOP was running out of money, so Trump turned to his wealthy backers for help. Many super rich donors who once criticized Trump for stoking the violence of January 6th have since had a change of heart— deciding their profits are worth more than our democracy. Trump has promised them that, if elected, he'll extend his 2017 tax cuts, that went mainly to the wealthy, beyond 2025, when they're scheduled to expire. And he's hinted at even more. You’re rich as hell. We’re going to give you tax cuts. He promised oil executives he would scrap regulations favoring electric vehicles and wind energy if they would give his campaign $1 billion.


The Trump White House is for sale and the wealthy are buying. 50 billionaire families gave at least $600 million in political donations as of May, with over two-thirds going to support GOP candidates and conservative causes. Elon Musk, one of the world's richest men, who also controls and manipulates one of the world's largest communications platforms, has committed to spending millions of dollars a month to elect Trump. And Trump has promised to make it worth Musk's while. We have to make life good for our smart people and he's as smart as you get.


In previous videos, I've highlighted alarming similarities between fascist regimes of the past and Trumpism. The alignment of American billionaires with Trump's anti-democracy movement is one of the most dangerous parallels. The billionaires want the rest of us to fight each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone, so we don't join together and raise taxes on the super rich to finance child care, better schools, our health care system, everything else we need.


They fear democracy because there are far more of us than there are of them. We need to see through their fear tactics and vote in overwhelming numbers this November. We can learn from history and spot the danger. We are not doomed to repeat it.
