The GOP did not lower taxes for the Rich and Corporations

[edhopper]

They eliminated them. They carved out enough loopholes to let the Uber-wealthy avoid any income taxes.

In fact i suspect they will all get a rebate.

America was mortally wounded last night.

1. It's official

The US is a corporatocracy.

4. Fascism at it's finest

[no_hypocrisy]

2. Even if there is a miracle and democrats again call the shots,

any attempt to remediate the "tax reform" bill will be labelled as raising taxes.

[Willie Pep]

3. Yeah that is what I fear.

Many people hear "raise taxes" and think they will have their taxes raised even if that is not the case.

[thucythucy]

8. The opposite also holds.

They hear Republicans talk about "cutting taxes" and they think it means theirs will go down, no matter what the facts may be.

[Willie Pep]

9. Yeah that is also true.

For a lot of people "tax cuts" is all they hear and that is enough to vote GOP.

[edhopper]

5. The Dems have to show

that the Republiscums just raised taxes on the middle class.

[Mendocino]

6. Money doesn't talk

it swears.

[edhopper]

7. Obscenity,

who really cares
Propaganda, all is phony

[Mendocino]

10. If my thought dreams

could be seen

They'd probably put my head in a guillotine

But it's alright Ma, it's life and life only

[edhopper]

11. The times there are a changing

for the worse.
