They Call Passing A Bill That Is Strongly Opposed By More Than Half Of America A Win

Who takes money from our children to further enrich the already wealthy a win.

After telling thousands of lies about what will happen when they do their trickle down III they call it a win.

A bill that takes 500 billion from our treasury to pay dividends to foreigners.

Man if this is a win, what is a loss?

We need to understand that many, maybe most will probably like this bill at first. Take home pay will go up some for almost everyone. So how do we explain the problems? It is a huge giveaway to the really rich, peanuts for the middle class. After a few years big tax increases kick in, more than wiping out the early tax cuts. And huge hikes in national debt will force huge cuts in social security, Medicare, veterans health care, schools, etc. it looks like candy but for all but the really rich it’s poison.
