from money that they did absolutely nothing to earn. Most wealth in this country is inherited. Why create a class of super-wealthy children who have absolutely no appreciation for where that money came from? Just imagine, an entire class of people exactly like Donald Trump.

to SocSec, Medicare, many other programs and deductions about US, to those billionaires.

As soon as Rump signs this legal theft bill, we go in debt to them and start paying off this huge national mortgage to a kleptocrat class.

One huge auger that should be making people's hair stand on end is that those who've taken control of the GOP do not believe in investing in current and future generations. The budget they passed did not include developing future skilled workforce, and this tax plan actually removes the student loan deduction--money they seemingly feel will benefit the nation more in the pockets of billionaires.

This is all a wake-up message. It couldn't be this bad. They couldn't be this evil. But they are.
