There’s generational wealth built upon the multi-generational family business using un- and under-paid labor of others, usually undocumented immigrant workers.

From Marsha Mennerich’s comment to Robert Reich’s August 1st Newsletter:

Trump paid $1.375M to settle case over UNDOCUMENTED Polish workers he hired to demolish the Bonwit Teller building where Trump Tower now stands. "In 1980, under pressure to begin construction on what would become his signature project, Donald Trump employed a crew of 200 undocumented Polish workers who worked in 12-hour shifts, without gloves, hard hats or masks, to demolish the Bonwit Teller building on New York's Fifth Avenue, where the 58-story, golden-hued Trump Tower now stands. The workers were paid as little as $4 (£3) an hour for their dangerous labour, less than half the union wage, if they got paid at all."

Trickle Down

Trickle down

Trickle down

The only thing that trickles down

Is colored yellow

Trickle down

Trickle down.

Company profits rarely flow

To the average fellow

While workers brains and arms prop up the giant corporations

Their hired thugs try to derail

Folks union operations

Trickle down.

tax advantage for the rich mean

Most folks left with grievings

The fat cats get filet mignon

poor folks get the leavings

Trickle down

The CEO says he works hard

To justify his yearnings

But the worker seldom has the pull

To magnify his earnings

Trickle down

Indeed. I’m hopeful that voters will completely reject them, and their co-conspirators and accessories after the fact in Congress, State, and Local government.
