And let's not forget this one - prosperity is bad.

Now Bessent is trying 25 years later to revive Prosperity Sucks Conservatism. Like Bush’s version, it’s vulgarized and partisan, holding that prosperity is good but that Democratic prosperity is cheap and tawdry. Bush used Prosperity Sucks Conservatism to attack the prosperity overseen by President Bill Clinton and his opponent, Vice President Al Gore. Bessent is similarly using it to disparage Biden, but he’s also and more urgently using it to justify prosperity’s imminent destruction under Trump. That’s a new wrinkle, and I don’t expect Republican voters to lend it much credence. After all, they have 401ks too.
