Rage Maybe

I just studied the so-called tax cut for Americans.  As a middle-class retiree, I will see my taxes go up about 20% while trump, rich people, and corporate America get to see their taxes go down.  And their rates are already low.  It is outrageous and if trump blue-collar supporters go along with it, well, they are even stupider than I imagined.

This is the kind of thing that can start revolutions.  Sign me up.

Jim, What else did you expect from the swamp monster? After all he is helping us "Biggly". What is worse Jim is watching all the candidates trumpito insulted during his campaign fall in lock step behind all his &$@?ed up ideas!

“A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.” Chairman Mao Tse-tung (The Little Red Book, 1964)

This has always been the case with the Republicans' "middle-class tax cuts." The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. It has ever been so.

When I was a poll official in NM I adopted the following motto: "Never overestimate the intelligence of the average voter." Some people are really, really stupid.

yes, revolutions are messy but they will occur when the dam breaks. and right now the water is over the spillway.
