Republicans are really raking me over coals with their tax proposals

They are going to remove tax deferment for 401k contributions and also remove deductions for mortgage interest and local taxes.

They are stealing from the middle class to fund the tax cuts for the super rich.. I cannot believe this shit they are trying to pull off.

We need to land up in Washington with pitchforks

And so they plan on killing everybody's retirement plans and crashing the housing market wow.I would bank on the banks stopping this bullshit in its tracks.

This will throw the country into a recession and stop consumer spending over night

7. Then, the cherry on top of the shit sundae will be

Republicans blaming Americans for being so irresponsible and not saving enough for their retirement, and if you have to work until you drop dead, well, that's your own fault. And, the wealthy need another round of tax cuts.

2. This brady dick claims he has a better plan, naturally his plan is a mystery.

This is the same course of events as with the Obamacare repeal, all smoke & mirrors.

3. Not to mention the high medical expense

deduction. Those of us with an elder family member in assisted living, or a disabled child needing expensive care are going to be paying for Trump's kids' inheritances.

5. This is nirvana to conservatives.

They wet themselves with excitement when the government takes money from their pocket and gives it to the excessively wealthy.

It's their dream come true and the purest expression of Republican values.
