It's not a ACA repeal that has a tax cut for the rich; it's a tax cut for the rich that is paid in part by gutting the ACA.

Paul Ryan could not be more in the pocket of donors and big Corps. He hates America and has no idea how to do anything but destroy our fabric.

Anybody claiming that the wealthy might be getting big breaks would have to be a "leftist". Sucker, you're disgusting!

Poor Tucker, having to confront the naked greed. At least he is basically asking the right question: "Does satiating this naked greed really serve us as a nation?"

Most Americans do not appear to object to greediness. But shoveling public dollars at the greedy? Not so popular I think.

oppose anything that may help average Americans. I think I finally get it.
A strong middle class makes people happy and keeps the country strong.
Destroying the middle class weakens the country. Their objective is to weaken America so much that we will beg Russia to take us over.
The plan seems to be working very well.
