7. We just passed the biggest tax giveaway to the rich
Fri Apr 26, 2019, 11:46 AM
Apr 2019

in our nation's history, 1.5 trillion dollars. We just cut taxes for the rich, cut taxes for corporations, did away with the estate tax. These tax cuts for the rich are permanent cuts, forever, into infinity.

As far as the courts go, they are being packed with right wing fascists who will guarantee that the rich rule the roost.

As far as social and environmental issues go, with the Nazis controlling the courts we are getting closer to the repeal of Roe v Wade, our environment is a playground for the fossil fuel industry, there is more poison in our food supply and water than ever. We withdrew from the Paris climate accord.

As far as foreign policy goes, Putin pulls the strings of our president. Bibi pulls the strings of our president. MBS pulls the strings of our president. Trump pulled us out of the Iran peace agreement, Trump is doing everything to weaken NATO and the EU.

I could write a book. We are so far to the right it will take decades to get us back.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Undecided
