Republicans are really raking me over coals with their tax proposals

They are going to remove tax deferment for 401k contributions and also remove deductions for mortgage interest and local taxes.

They are stealing from the middle class to fund the tax cuts for the super rich.. I cannot believe this shit they are trying to pull off.

We need to land up in Washington with pitchforks

Republicans blaming Americans for being so irresponsible and not saving enough for their retirement, and if you have to work until you drop dead, well, that's your own fault. And, the wealthy need another round of tax cuts.

They wet themselves with excitement when the government takes money from their pocket and gives it to the excessively wealthy.

It's their dream come true and the purest expression of Republican values.
