Did the Wealthy Really Need Another Tax Cut?
In the land of billionaires and oligarchs did the wealthy really need another tax cut? You know at the beginning of the 1960s the top tax rate in the US was up there around 90%. It is now all the way down to 37%. Think about that for a few moments, a reduction close to 60%. That is a heck of a lot. Americans have been rewarding themselves at the top for 60 years with huge reductions in tax. Now, under Trump they are coming after social security and Medicaid for the poor and sick. You know where this is going to end, Social Darwinism and killing off the weak and the needy.
American Greed & Disgusting Trump
The Trump regime has allocated $160 billion for the targeting of immigrants by ICE and the police state. Do you know the reason why the majority of these undocumented folk are in the US? To work on their farms and in their factories. These workers are required because Americans wont do this work because the pay is so bad. These people are not bad people; they are merely human beings trying to make a living like their older relatives have been doing in the US for many decades. Trump and the GOP tell all this BS about gang members – this is complete crap. America needs these people from Latin America or the price of their food is going to get a lot more expensive. Americans pay shit wages to poor people – they are famous for it.
“US now the land of a little less hope. America’s been home to millions of undocumented migrants for decades. About 8 million are estimated to be in the US workforce, and industries like agriculture and construction have become dependent on them.”
Trump Is Lowering The Standards
Donald Trump is a liar. He is a compulsive liar and you cannot trust anything he says. You and I need to remember this. The media needs to remember this and stop referencing the deceitful content that comes from him 24/7. It is so dysfunctional the way the world media refuses to own this reality and operates in this fantasy mode reporting everything Trump comes out with. It is embarrassing really and I think about our children and what they must think. America has elected as their President a convicted felon, compulsive liar and cheat. What message does that send? That crime is OK and stealing. That sexual abuse and rape is fine. That telling lies is par for the course. It is a f****** disgrace – that is what it is! You listen to lies and you end up in deep shit.
“What can Americans do about it? About living in a country where their wishes are not listened to or acted upon? The US is a nation where the rich thrive at the expense of the tens of millions of poor. The voiceless are being hounded out of the place by ICE and a bristling police state. The problem with this is that these folk perform important if underappreciated roles for the nation’s economy. “
Bad Times Are Coming Uncle Sam
In the land of billionaires and oligarchs did the wealthy really need another tax cut? White supremacist sons of slavers are hell bent on rewarding themselves at the expense of the rest of us poor schmucks. Ordinary decent folk are getting shafted by Trump and his henchmen. Trump is siding with Putin and Russia – if you wanted any more evidence for what side of the street this piece of shit lives on. Most people know the difference between good and evil and doing the right thing or not. The scum that align themselves with Trump will ultimately pay the price – their time will come, sooner than they think. Extremist policies provoke extreme reactions. Civil war is coming folks. Rich folk dancing on the graves of poor people never ends well, wherever you are. In a land of some 600 million guns – What do you think is going to happen?
