The
so called Christmas present (tax changes) by our pathetic excuse for a
president, Donald Trump is a great big gift to the wealthy corporations and the
1 percent of our population who already have most of the country's money. For
the middle class they get a temporary tax break and in the long run, their gift
is like a lump of coal. Their taxes will actually go up. The Corporate giveaway
is permanent. Much of the mainstream
news media is crowing about this being a big win for the Republicans as if
this is really good for the whole country. For most of the lower income people
this new tax code is a real kick in the groin.
There
is nothing to celebrate for those of us who make less than $70,000 a year.
People at the lower ends, such as teachers, actually lose
tax deductions they used to have. And the President is so happy and proud
that he has further destroyed health insurance of many lower income people in
this country. Any one who makes less than $30,000 a year and supports this guy
really should check into a mental health facility.
Supposedly
all that new wealth
will trickle down. That didn't work for Reagan and it has been a miserable failure
under out inept Governor Sam Brownback. But it is a great excuse to give
generous gifts to the wealthy and the expense of all the rest of us.
So
this is no Merry Christmas for the 99 percent of people who the President just
screwed over.
