   As the billionaires become trillionaires, there's a giant sucking sound   
   as the Elon Musks, Jeff Bezos's and Peter Thiels of the world vacuum up   
   the wealth that formerly gave the U.S. the highest standard of living in   
   the world. One doesn't have to be a rocket mechanic to figure out that   
   as the trickle up effect makes everyone poorer, the tens of millions of   
   illegal aliens the billionaires imported will be used to finish the job   
   of impoverishing the former Free World and turn it into Greater South   
   Africa.
