3. Stop calling it tax reform

Everyone needs to stop using the term “reform”.
There is no reform in this. It is a straight up transfer of wealth from the poorest to the wealthiest individuals and corporations.

There are no loopholes closed rather new ones are created.

Never lose sight of the basic game being played here.

Pass a bill that will please the donor class and cause a deficit crisis. Since the defense budget is untouchable the deficit crisis that this tax give away creates will allow them to go after Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.

This is not reform in any sense of the word.
