Not too many years ago, I had two close relatives who had to declare bankruptcy. Although they themselves were not extravagant women and had good-paying jobs, they were knocked off balance by spouses who were draining the coffers. By association, they bore most of the brunt of the debt, and it took them years to recover and restore their credit. They learned from the experience, but it was a bitter, devastating pill to swallow.
By contrast, there is an individual running for the highest office in the land who has been reported to have declared bankruptcy four times (some accounts say as many as 11 filings). Each one of these bankruptcies left employees, contractors and investors in the lurch, holding the bag.
The perpetrator of these misdeeds is a self-proclaimed billionaire, that fortune obtained, we have found, through many fraudulent business practices. So, I ask, should those red hats really say, “Make America Stupid Again”?
