'Yeah, so what?' Elites openly shrug at working-class pain caused by Trump

1. This theme is on heavy rotation on X right now...

- Rich people have no responsibility for the poor...
- Poor people are abusing their benefits, buying junk food
- Low wages are supply and demand - the invisible hand of the market
- Without billionaires, no one will have a job
- Billionaires pay a lot of taxes already
- The market is lifting all boats through 401Ks
- Anyone can be a billionaire if you work hard enough
-Rich people give to charities to help the poor

These are all old tropes. I'm not seeing coherent rebuttals yet, except from AOC. She seems to be triggering a lot of the "billionaire bots".

We need to develop and promote rebuttals that resonate with average people. Otherwise, the tropes just shame the poor, and silence everyone else.
