3. Thank you! It seems to me the media has been missing the BIG POINT here.

Oct 2016

The Republican Party Platform, the Paul Ryan "mainstream" tax plan, the Donald Trump proposed tax "reform", all stipulate that the uber-wealthy and corporations are paying TOO MUCH in taxes.

So overtaxed are these victimized billionaires and corporations that they have no rational alternative other than wrecking the economy for the rest of us.

But an examination of the facts (and the Trump tax return is but a single example) show the opposite.

It is precisely this tax code of the rich, by the rich and for the rich that is building our deficits, destroying our infrastructure, crippling our social contract, weakening our nation in so many ways.
