The irony. Read it slow.

TS Connecticut 22 hours ago
I'm in the 1%. I voted for and donated to HRC. Since the election, I've seen my retirement and brokerage accounts swell. They'll only grow more when the Republicans cut my tax rate. My health care coverage is unaffected by the legislative morass. And now I may not even have to pay any estate tax. Why am I so deserving of such unsolicited gifts? I would love to ask members of Trump's base why they keep doing me these favors. Have things really gotten that much better for them since the election? It is a puzzlement.
