What's the difference between Donald Trump, the Koch Brothers, the Waltons, the Mercers, and Bernie Madoff? Only one of them was stupid enough to get caught.

Reagan's first trotted out this BS and it was for no one but the uber rich,in fact he ended up RAISING taxes on all the working class slobs like me.

Bush.IDIOT got in office and pulled another tinkle down and took us nearly to the second Great Depression.

Gov Brownback of Kansas figured both of those worked soooo well why no do the same on a State economy? Ok...ZERO % tax rate for Corporations and 4+ years later we have a budget shortfall of $900M and nothing to show for it.

But I know...this time it will "all be different". Like HELL it will..............

The billionaires will get their pay day and we all get screwed. The only difference between now and previous administrations is the billionaire criminals have one of their own in the White House.

In order to give the dolts a minuscule tax cut, we have to give ourselves an huge tax cut. But, for the good of the country, we will take up this burden."

NO MORE ARTS. NO MORE READING PROGRAMS. JUST SPORTS. GET THESE DAMN KIDS READY FOR WAR SO THESE FOLKS CAN SCOOP UP THE LAST OF THE PETROLEUM CASH THAT REMAINS IN THE BOWELS OF THE EARTH.

THESE RICH WHITE PEOPLE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY SO FUCK YOU, FUCK ALL OF US IN ANY KIND OF NEED, THEIR INTERESTS AND DESIRES COME FIRST BECAUSE FUCKING TRUMP SAYS IT SO.

lie, pure piece of fiction is BULLSHIT.

My father was very wealthy when he died, when we got our inheritance it was no where near enough for us to even consider worrying about taxes. He was a multi-millionaire, we didn't pay one damn penny in taxes. This "death tax" is the biggest pile of shit put forth in "tax reform".

Now when the Middle class Right Wing 45 supporters get their Tax Bill will they be able to see how much that con artist snake oil salesman has screwed this whole country over or will they continue to turn a blind eye to everything.

... it follows that 75% will not. Wonder what the effect on the lower quintiles will be.
