I am sick of the tax cut ads being run on MSNBC.

What a crock of crap! We need to take back our country from these corporate nut jobs! I would love lower taxes, but I want is for corporate America and the 1 percent to pay their fair share so mine can go down. We need good roads, good schools, to take care of those who can't take care of themselves or who have fallen on hard times. There is enough money in the country to do that! I really hate the people who want to dismantle the government safety net. May Bannon burn in hell.

1. These are paid for by the Kochs to try to sucker people into supporting the GOP's tax reform bill.

I wish MSNBC would refuse to run them.

3. MSNBC is part of Comcast-why would a big, billion dollar media company want their taxes raised?

That's one of the problems we have when a few giant media corporations control the market.

4. If you have enough money to run ads about tax cuts, then you don't really need tax cuts.

5. I can't watch television any more. Ads are just one of the reasons.

My television plays movies, no ads, that's all it does. No cable, no satellite, no broadcast. (Television series on Netflix and DVD's are like the old movie theater serials.)

Television news is worthless, all of it. I think television news appeals to a primitive part of the human mind that is incapable of critical thinking and unable to distinguish television images from reality.

I can take as long as I need to critically evaluate news in writing. That's not true of television or radio "news."

7. It is funny how the Chamber of Commerce claims to be the friend of small business.

It appears they are more a friend of big business using small business people to do their bidding.
