Hold on to your wallets

They failed to gut Medicaid to pay for it, yet the Trumped-up GOP is plunging ahead with its alleged tax reform. The proposal they rolled out cuts taxes on corporations by 4 percent and increases them on the poorest wage earners by 2 percent. It keeps the pass-through income loopholes that allow Trump to avoid paying taxes, and eliminates the estate tax so his kids won’t have to pay anything when they inherit daddy’s businesses. That’s what conservative used to decry as “wealth transfer.” Apparently this is good wealth transfer because it’s going from bottom to top.

Do these clowns have no shame? First they want to kill the only health care available to many elderly and disabled. Now they want to reach into their wallets to give tax breaks to Trump and his kids. This is the new GOP? Vote Democrat in 2018 and put an end to this war on the working poor, the elderly and disabled.
