If the rich got everything right all the time, there would be no need for voting. If the rich got everything right America would not suffered the Great Depression or Bush's great Recession.
If the rich got everything right there would not have been a stock market crash under Reagan.

If the rich got everything right we would not have had the Enron bubble or dot com bubble in the 90s.
If the rich got everything right we would not have suffered Bush's triple whammy Bank, car housing collapse.
Nobody I would call sane is against the private sector. So stop stupidly thinking anyone who objects to your bullshit logic is out to get you.
Taxing billionaires wont hurt them. Huge difference between "cant" and "don't want to".
To be fair you are arguing a point I didn't even make, and not sure what I said that made you go off on the disparity of wealth, which I agree exists. I'm thinking you believe we are headed towards financial meltdown in the near future based on current trends you are seeing from his policies so far. It's possible I'll give you that because I expected a major correction a few years back which never happened. I used to be a prepper and now have some survival supplies and freeze dried food supply. Honest question, have you stocked up on anything in the anticipation that Shit will hit the fan?
If you agree that the disparity exists then you should NOT be supporting one damned economic policy of Trump, much less the GOP. This all started with Reagan and the GOP had held our nation hostage since. You cannot have a long term economy where the money gets suck up to the top benefiting fewer and fewer.
The short term has been Obama slowing down the bleeding, not the GOP, our recovery is only artificial. Obama stopped the worst of it, but simply adding more jobs isn't enough, workers are not making enough. The tax rate long term when the rich are not paying in adds to the long term debt. The GOP guts programs to fund tax breaks for the top and that adds up over 4 or 8 or 10 years.
You better hope Trump steps down and the congress flips because if he keeps 8 years and the GOP as well, you can expect another Bush Jr crash and don't be surprised if it is worse.
And again your POV is selection bias and sample rate error. I am looking at economic history long term. You cannot keep stretching the rubber band, it will break at some point. And again, this bullshit attitude is actually global coming from the top world's uber rich. Last year on CSPAN I watched the Chinese PM press conference held in Australia. He was pulling the same bullshit conservative talking points "Now is not the time to tax the rich".
If you are middle class, you should worry about YOU not multi millionaires not billionaires. I am not stupid, the rich of the world can afford it, and it is counter productive to hoard money. None of this post is advocating everyone be poor, just tired of the bullshit that the top cant afford it.
