First of all, that's not an actual quote from the article you linked.

Second, the article really doesn't explain what exactly has changed in any specific detail.

Third, ProGlibs are funny.

They don't like Trump tax cuts, yet they don't like Trump tax increases (i.e., tariffs--as tariffs can be viewed as a form of taxation).

At least be consistent folks, other than "If Trump's for it, then I'm against it."

The Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service are issuing rules that provide hundreds of billions of dollars in tax relief to big companies and the ultrarich. NYT

If you are among the super rich you gotta pay to play and a relatively small investment in bribery will bring you a huge windfall.

Leona Helmsley died in 2007, so he would owe royalties for using the phrase to her estate.

Helmsley's flamboyant personality and reputation for tyrannical behavior, especially towards her employees, earned her the nickname Queen of Mean

"Queen of mean", aka, typical "JC".
