From the Preface of Ray Madoff's The Second Estate
A bar graph labeled Federal Budget expenses and revenue (2024) with three bars

Govt spending ($6.75 trillion)
Tax revenue ($4.92 trillion)
Deficit ($1.83 trillion)

Next to it is a bar chart labeled Wealth of the Rich. There is a bar labeled Wealth of the Top 1%. It is $47.6 trillion, nearly ten times the size of the tax revenue bar. 

This chart is titled Federal Burger versus wealth of the rich (2024) and the source is the US Treasury and St Louis Reserve

Trump's declassified election intelligence pretty clearly shows that China *could have,* but didn't, meddle in the 2020 election to help Biden win. But that Russia *did* meddle to help Trump win.
Table showing that Russia and Iran targeted and manipulated election processes, but that China took "preliminary or preparatory steps, with or without specific intent."

Intelligence dated August 19, 2020CIA memo: "However, we assess at this
time China probably judges the risk of being caught interfering in the US election outweighs any
potential gains."
