J. D. Wans once worried that Donald Trump will become "Hitler in the United States".Now he is Trump's campaign partner.However, there is no need to care too much about that history.There are many common points in Trump and Wans. One of them is: they are all scammers, and they are full of contempt for those supporters who love them most.

In fact, Wans may be the most selfish and cold in the important figure of modern American political history, although this is a very crowded track.You can't determine whether Trump believes in the false words he himself, but with the mind of Wans, he should know that he has achieved an extraordinary political false marketing.

If the pair of Trump Wans won, in view of Trump's obvious lack of interest in policy details-of course, with his age, it is likely that Wans will become the leader of this country in some way.For those.

So let's talk about his scams: Now as aquanant senator from Ohio, Wans often talks about his own hardships.But everyone should read what he wrote in the tragedy of the people in the countryside. From this, we can see that he has an amazing contempt for those who grow up with their growth. These people are different from him and have not escaped the small town.Poverty.People should also notice that although he criticized "Wall Street" in Wednesday's speech, his Pingbu Qingyun was largely planned by a group of billionaires in the technology industry.Monkey.

The tragedy of the rural people is both a personal memoir and a social comment. In the case of fairly, this book is indeed facing a real problem.In the past few generations, a considerable part of the United States has had major problems in villages and towns.The time when young men are in a state of unemployment, they have increased, especially in the hinterland of the eastern United States.Social problems have spread very widely, and in the records of economists Ang Keez and Angus Don, it can be seen that the situation of "dying due to despair" has increased sharply.Back into this category.

What is going on?I think the focus is on some economic changes that have caused many small towns to lose their existence. This process began in Reagan era and is not unique to my country.The loss of economic opportunities in turn leads to social disability -which echoes the exacerbation of social disability due to the disappearance of the American city due to the disappearance of the blue -collar job.

These are real problems, we should strive to improve the situation in these backward areas at the national level.In fact, this is exactly what the Biden government is doing, and its industrial policy has a large part of the purpose of helping to depression.This includes a maximum funding of up to $ 575 million -some funds come from a bill opposed by the Republican votes -a steel factory for helping Wansh's hostel, Ohio, Ohio, Ohio.

Don't forget the reason why many Americans in rural areas can have medical insurance, all rely on the policies of the Republicans' fierce opposition.

However, in the tragedy of the countryside, Wans denied "the cultural movement of blaming the problem on the white labor class of the society or the government."His view is that many small towns have to blame themselves.They are too lazy: "You can take a circle in the town. 30%of young men have less than 20 hours a week, but they can't find a person who realizes that they are lazy."Because of the lack of educational opportunities, but they lack the motivation: "When we did not read it ourselves, we would not let our children read well after our parents."

Imagine what kind of reactions would there be if a Liberal Democrat said.

However, after the politics, Wan Si suddenly believed that the white laborer was not lazy, but was harmed by external forces.He began to violently attack immigrants who took the opportunity to work. Those jobs should have been done by the Americans who were born in the local area.

In his speech, there seems to be a period of saying that inflation is caused by illegal immigrants.Of course, he did not mention that the inflation has dropped by two -thirds since mid -2022. The average income level of non -management positions -especially the base salary workers -especially the price has exceeded the price.

immigration has not actually snatched our work.The unemployment rate of nationals born in this country remains at a historic low.As for the national -born nationals, the national -born leaving labor market, it is largely because the infant tide has reached the retirement age.

It is strange to blame the problems in small towns and rural areas on immigrants. The depression in these areas is far earlier than the tide of immigration. Even now, immigrants are relatively rare there.The only 5%of Ohio where the Wanshi hometown is born was born in foreign countries. In contrast, the proportion of New York City accounted for about 40%.

In short, there is no reason to believe that Wans' words about supporting the labor class.His book has clearly stated that at least to a certain extent, he looks down on those who have not been able to grasp the career trajectory like him.He may have a poor background, but now he is just a clever and unscrupulous politician. He is using the fact that he originally covered himself as a financial values ​​and interest spokespersons.
