If not for customers, where would her business be? Can she swear that the wealthy 1% will come and buy her goods or services because there will be no middle class that can afford anything? Can she swear that the wealthy will give more to charity and create more jobs for the U.S. and not use the extra money from the extra tax cuts to make more money in their Swiss bank accounts or buy that new yacht?

Will the Koch Brothers bail her out? Will Donald Trump? Will Mr. Adelson in Las Vegas?

Will she be happy that she will have no Medicare or Social Security when she retires? Life as she knows it will no longer be. As previously mentioned, public service (police, firefighters, schools) will be stripped to bare nothing. Yes, life will be good, won't it?
