More Of The Same Drivel From Repugs On Taxes & Tax Reform.....

we're going to let the people keep their money.

Well where has that gotten us in the past?

Every time the Repugs work on taxes they say the same thing. And every time - we get the same results.

Remember GW Bush. He told the American People that and what were the results. A massive recession that almost dragged us into a bigger depression. How many people lost their jobs? How much were we in the hole.

It literally took President Obama his two terms to help us climb out. And guess what the chasm between the wealthy and the middle class and poor widened more than it ever did.

So People - don't fall for this again. Don't let the Repugs and Trump tell you this tax reform is about you. Cause it isn't. It is a massive give away to the top 1%'ers and the Corporations. They are in the process to try and fleece us more than they ever did in the past.

Surely you'll be able to file your taxes on a postcard - because that's all you'll be able to afford if we let them con us again with this tax reform talk.

We need to fight the Repugs and Trump with the fervor we fought to kill their healthcare repeal and replace attempts.

Most see it as doomed legislation that is going to cost them any chance at a tax cut.

Against single payer because there will be tax increases involved. Of course the tax increases will be offset by not paying insurance premiums but they're counting on people being too obtuse to see that. Just the "horror" of tax increases and "we're the party of low taxes."
