Tax bill coming up in congress -massive cuts for super rich plus no federal tax on super rich estates.

Ending health insurance forAmericans is part of the tax cut plan-gets rid of a major budget expense so tax cuts can pass.

Our oligarchs feel identity with Russia-which aims to be the white, Christian leader of the world.

Our oligarchs don't identify with modern American diversity, for many of them Russia is the America of the future-a safe haven for the super rich.
