Who pays for the Tax Cuts?

Trump regular brags, falsely, about “The biggest tax cuts in history.” The average citizen ends up with $2,400 per year, enough for a movie and dinner. The rich will be looking for new homes in Spain. But the citizenry is happy with their temporary cuts. That is until you figure what those small cuts cost. Fewer Federal income means less money to the states, counties, cities, towns, and all they supply. Less for education and infrastructure. With less coming in, where will the dollars come from?

Income taxes in many states, Arizona included, are increasing, and other State taxes, city, county and state property taxes (which support infrastructure and education), energy taxes, utility taxes, tariffs and import duties will per going up, so will purchasing costs. 

Trump wants a thirty-cent per gallon increase in gasoline taxes. If you drive 30,000 miles per year, that increase alone will cost you an extra $9,000 per year. But remember, tax cuts you supported saved you $2,400 per year.

VERY IMPORTANT! - trump successfully diverted attention all week with his false rhetoric, tweets and insults, defaming veterans, Puerto Ricans, widows of dead soldiers, a Black Congresswoman, and who knows how much more, while his new, "old friend," Mitch McConnell set his Mongol Army on American Citizens. trump is the beginning of the final chapter of the Republican effort to show, Democracy doesn't work. The Country doesn't work. To bring down the Whole Country and Stephen  Bannon STATED VERBALLY and in PRINT he wanted to do. Reduce the Federal Government to a small "caretaker" government, where the citizens MUST rely strictly on their own for survival, no matter the circumstances. NO ENTITLEMENTS of any source (MEDICARE and SOCIAL SECURITY ARE NOT ENTITLEMENTS.  BEWARE OF trump's TRICKS. Now you can see how they work.  > trump did his job.

Hypocrites or not? You decide..

. SHELDON METZ · SUNDAY, MAY 1, 2016 To my ultra-religious friends who quote bible passages and support Trump, how about hearing this when he speaks on TV? Actual quotes fro a rally: DROPPING THE F - BOMB: "The Donald," as he is known, enters the arena, more as a billboard for self inflicted controversy. The supreme aggrandizer, somehow, stays in the game. Willing to use opening phrases such as, "Listen You Mother F*ckers …," which is cool, if your, you know, watching a film by Martin Scorsese, a play by David Mamet or listening to a rap song by Ice Cube, but as a presidential candidate, this is not cool at all. Once he gets a taste for the reaction, the audiences nervous laughter, the cussing continues. On Foreign Policy: "We build a school, we build a road, they blow up the school, we build another school, we build another road they blow them up, we build again, in the meantime we can't get a f*cking school in Brooklyn."

Republican malevolence

The Temp President has created a mess. His vindictive Captain Queeg act and a Captain Ahab, McConnell, at the helm.  Now, a fugleman, Peter Lorre impersonator Lindsey Graham, has decided, amidst the clutter and chaos caused by the new Trump Party, to emulate his not-so-divine leader.  The new Senate Judiciary Chairman has decided during this period of Trump-inspired confusion and disorderliness, to dig up old, settled issues.  He’s decided to use the committee to begin investigations of the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton; maybe Benghazi. Of course, this is nothing but another infant being placed in a position of being able to turn on the gas on the kitchen stove. Pampers diapers must be doing great business in D.C. Trump promised that following the elections, he would request these inquiries. Now, as the self-appointed Lord of Congress, he has his sycophants bidding his orders. Neither he nor McConnell nor Graham nor McCarthy nor 53 Senate Republicans ar...
