Trump actually said "wages in America are far, far to high and need to come way, way down" live at the televised debate. When the press asked him about it later Donald doubled-down and repeated the comment claiming high incomes are one of America's biggest problems. And yes, there's a huge similarity between Australian mining heiress Gina Rhinehart and Donald Trump. Both Gina and Donald inherited huge fortunes and have spent their lives trying to make these fortunes smaller. Gina Rhinehart wants to import African workers to work for $5 a day in her Australian mines to try to solve her business mistake of plowing her families entire fortune in an iron mine at the top of the market. I'm sure Trump too would love to replace his employees with imports from Africa or Chine willing to work for $5 a day as well. His employees wages are the enemy of his profits. As Bart says, working Americans are going to see their incomes Trumped.

You remember Meredith Whitney, the gal who took a close look at Citigroup's finances in 2007 and correctly predicted that its divvy would be cut? She's not doing so well anymore: bizjournals.com Meredith Whitney: The well-respected Wall Street analyst-turned-hedge fund founder has shuttered her firm, Kenbelle Capital. Whitney rose to prominence during the height of the recent financial crisis — some hailed her as an “oracle” at the time — and she parlayed that reputation into the launch of her own hedge fund. But late last year, news started to spread of trouble at Kenbelle, as its biggest investor, BlueCrest Capital Management, filed suit to recoup its $46 million stake in Kenbelle. That came amid claims that her firm wasn’t producing anything close to the 12- to 17-percent returns Whitney had promised. Whitney’s attorney, Stanley Arkin, said that suit has since been resolved and all remaining money returned to external investors, the Wall Street Journal reported. And Whitney has officially closed up shop. “This whole experience has been highly unfortunate, and I’m putting it behind me,” she told Fox Business Network. Whitney said she doesn’t plan to manage money again.
