Add ACA Tax Cuts & Tax Reform $1 - $2 Trillions To The Rich.

If you look at what the GOP wants to give to the rich it could add up to $1, $2, or $3 trillion tax breaks to rich and corporations. They want to blow the budget into the stratosphere so they can cut everything not military or security.

Only working stiffs pay taxes and pay off the debt.

when they

have been poisoned by toxic water because the EPA is no more,

have been poisoned by tainted meat or eggs because the severe cuts at the food safety administration have rendered it incapable of fulfilling it's mandate,

have been injured by dangerous products because consumer protection agencies have been gutted,,

can't get to work because the rural transit agency that served them couldn't survive the cuts in the FTA grant program,

are denied jobs on the basis of race or religion because there is no more EEO,

are wrongfully imprisoned in federal pens because the federal public defenders program has been decimated,

can't get the decent jobs that may have existed if the small business administration, Appalachian regional development, and economic development administration hadn't been abolished,

are in the hospital for an illness that would have been prevented if they had had access to decent medical care,

have been killed in a conflagration resulting from the breakdown of the aging pipeline system because there is nobody to enforce minimum standards,

don't have the skills they would have gained in programs once funded by a wide variety of federal grants,

and on and on.
