Trickle Down Devastation: A Single Mom Responds to Trumps Tax Plan

Donald Trump's tax plan punishes single parents with low to moderate incomes.

"Hungry children tend to act out because they don’t feel well. They also tend to fall asleep in class.

Your child’s teacher is going to have to take time out of teaching to deal with the needs of children whose families are struggling.

Hungry adults tend not to do things well either, like drive or work their jobs. Traffic accidents could increase, along with factory mishaps. Look for people snapping at you in line because they’re physically struggling, or being clumsy or forgetful while serving you.

You’re going to see an influx of sick people. When money is tight, adults skimp on medications. Most of us, when pressed to decide between care for ourselves or for our children will choose our kids. I know I do."
