CNN can't help themselves.

I wonder if that has anything to do with CNN's chairman and CEO, Mark Thompson, ranked by Forbes as the 65th most powerful person in the world. 🤔

Would someone like that benefit from tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy?

I don't think it's even about candidates, but just focusing on appearances.

That's what grabs attention and makes money. Even the robotic social media feed algorithms know this.

What makes money for billionaires is influencing who sets their tax rates.
