Kansas governor Brownback instituted draconian tax cuts by promising voters that all the tax cuts would lead to unprecedented growth and companies would be swarming into the state to take advantage of the lower corporate tax rates. Of course the reality was practically the other side of the coin. But now we can all be like Kansas if the Republicans in Congress and Senate vote for any form of the proposed new rules for federal taxes.
CNN reports, "The rush to pass anything may cause Republicans to discount the
long-term political implications of a bill that independent surveys show
does far more to enrich the already wealthy than to lift the working
and middle classes." Of course the already wealthy probably pay your wages or your salary so you will tug your forelock like the good serf you are and say thank you, especially if you vote Republican. Thank you for saving us from that evil socialism, thank you for building better bombs so that Trump can blow up Kim Jong Un, thank you for allowing drilling in the pristine waters in Alaska and the grandeur of the Grand Canyon, thank you for making our rivers toxic again because I always wanted to see the Cuyahoga burn and I missed it the first time, please sir, can I have more?
well done.
ReplyDeleteWhy do people insist in believing "trickle down" will work when we have ample proof that it doesn't? How can you have a country that works together when you can't agree on what is a fact and what isn't? Sad and depressed doesn't even begin to describe how I feel. Oh, and did I mention afraid?
