Critique the argument that Donald Trump represents a greedy elite who takes advantage of the working majority, while an average citizen lacks the money to purchase advantages in America's political system. Discuss the speaker's analogy with the French response to similar issues with their own wealthy elite and the use of taxation as a solution.
Your reasoning here Paul22 is transparently stupid. Donald Trump is a billionaire and therefore a member of a greedy elite that has purchased leverage in the American people's political system so that he can take advantage of the working majority for his personal gain whereas Mr. Hecker is an average citizen who lacks the money to purchase advantages in America's political system. To the extent that the ideal citizen becomes that of Trump-like people versus people like Mr. Hecker this nation is not long for this world. 
The French knew what to do with people like Trump and their nation has been better of ever since. Perhaps too few Americans possess the nobility of character required for the people to take back what rightfully is theirs. The vulgar minions of the superrich feign rebellion but are entirely servile. The question is are average Americans also naturally servile? To the rich who have absconded with our democracy taxation could fulfill the function of the guillotine.
