Billionaire? Check. No prior elective office or prior military experience? Check?
What could possibly go wrong?
Howard Schultz may have been a lifelong Democrat because of social issues and because Democrats always have a more successful economy (capital and investment markets do better, stable economy, more widespread general prosperity, better employment levels, good for consumer-oriented businesses like his).
But now we see the real Howard Schultz.
First and foremost, he is a billionaire corporatist. He opposes universal public health care (he has his!). He opposes tax reform that gives TAX RELIEF TO THE MIDDLE CLASS and working people and requires billionaires like himself to pay their fair share that they have avoided for 40 years. He says he is a “self made” billionaire because, unlike Trump, he did not inherit is wealth from Daddy. But he is opposed to “socialistic” proposals such as a 70% top MARGINAL rate on the PORTION of incomes over ten million proposed by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (in the most prosperous era of broad-based middle class prosperity in U.S. history, from 1950 to 1980, there was never a time when the top MARGINAL rate was less than 70% and, throughout the entire era of Eisenhower, there was never a time when the top MARGINAL rate was less than 90 [NINETY] percent, and the nation was at its most prosperous with the highest rate of growth).
So he would rather make a move that would keep Trump and Putin in charge of total political chaos in the destruction of the United States as long as he protects his own personal billions.
Billionaire Schultz wants Trump (and his corporate welfare and giveaways to rich people like him) to stay in office, but he doesn’t want to admit it. So he will take steps to ensure that Trump wins while pretending to oppose Trump. “No, I’m not enabling Trump; I’m opposing him.” (wink, wink)
