3. They are.

You know Wall Street, they've already banked the promised tax cut. As the White House descends into chaos and business in congress grinds to a halt, the Street is beginning to realize that they may have jumped the gun.

5. Yup

If the wall street hustlers realize Trump wont be able to strip the wealth from average American and put it into their pockets...they will help get rid of him!

10. Corporate tax rate cuts

This is all about the Corporate Tax rate cuts Trump wants. Slashing the Corporate tax rate from 35% to 15% is worse than it sounds considering the average effective corporate tax rate is already 17% and many pay zero. Remember the talk of closing loopholes in the campaign? That is no longer mentioned, in fact Trump wants more loopholes. Basically, the effective average corporate tax rate could drop to near 0. The deficit will explode and the Reps will cut services and raise taxes on working people to fill it.

11. Yes Trump and the republicans want to turn the whole country into

Brownbackistan Kansas.

Check the economy there to see how Trump and the koch bros will murder the economy nationwide.

13. Shock Doctrine, state by state - going national soon!

And yet repubs in these decimated states continue to get elected. I blame hate radio. It has infected huge swaths of our country.
