So middle class working slobs.... YOUR tax cut is your 401k or IRA.

Thanks for NOTHING Trump,we've had those available for decades so making a big deal that they "stay" in return for massive tax cuts for the ultra rich will fall on deaf ears.

King CON with his tax cut will explode the deficit and start the ball rolling on trillions added to the national debt. We've seen it before,hell we just got finished with four years of it in Kansas and ended up almost a BILLION in budget shortfalls to show for a zero percent tax rate for Corporations.

Got a notice from BCBS today..........

Me thinks they knew full well that shit gibbon was going to end subsidies and they don't want to be caught holding the bag. So..as of Jan 1 2018 my total premium goes up about 36%.

Since the subsidies have ended then my part to pay goes up about 681%. I'm retired and can't do it. I'm almost two years from Medicare and if all this comes to fruition this will be the first time I haven't had health care insurance since I was 28.

Here's hoping you DIE the most drawn out,painful,hideous death that possible for a human to go through Trump. We'll all be cheering for your passing from the sidelines.

No NFL players on the field for the Anthem until 2009 and then the NFL received MILLIONS...

More BS to pimp up a War in Iraq that should have never happened to begin with. So...lets PAY NFL owners to make these games look like some patriotic recruiting BS.

"Add in the fact that the NFL received millions of taxpayer dollars from the Department of Defense and the National Guard for patriotic displays, and it puts the entire Kaepernick hullabaloo in a different light. "Fans should have confidence that their hometown heroes are being honored because of their honorable military service, not as a marketing ploy," Senator John McCain, the Vietnam War veteran and P.O.W., said in a statement last year coinciding with "Tackling Paid Patriotism," a joint oversight report released by McCain and his fellow Arizona Republican Senator John Flake."

Hey Pence,that was a HELL of a game--Indy in OT!

Oh wait,you really didn't go to watch the game anyway did you? Nope just a STUNT paid for by taxpayers.
