Anyone who believes this tax reform will help the middle class...

...is dumber than a tree stump.

The GOP has never and will never craft a tax cut that helps ease the burden of the middle class. Rich people giving themselves tax cuts, period.

so the rich are going to have to figure something else out.

They are now in the end game of stripping this country of every governmental function that supported ordinary people. What they don't seem to realize is that all those drops are not going to add up to a bucketful, let alone refill the ocean.

Eventually they're going to have to decide between paying for the bloated military (the only governmental function they like) by themselves or cutting it down to an appropriate size, something that will make them frightened and keep them awake at night.

That is if this country hangs together that long without a total economic collapse.

This tax "reform" is nothing more than the final strip mining of the country. Anyone who thinks it's anything else is delusional.
