Cutting Taxes for the Rich via Your Pocketbook…

We are asked to step up and provide care for young family members instead of putting them into the system. We do so and then they cut our legs off beneath us.

In 29 states there are laws that make you responsible for your eldercare should they not be able to afford their own care (as in they gut Medicaid) at $ 7 to 9 Thousand a month for basic nursing home care and $ 7 to 10 Thousand a month for memory care for our seniors who have Alzheimer’s. Are you in one of those 29 states?

We pay taxes for services that we and other people like us need. But NO!!! They are going to take our taxes and dole it out to the uber rich and their thriving companies, many of which receive subsidies (Corporate Welfare) from our tax dollars.

We watch as they destroy all of the agencies that have been faithfully providing services. And turn around and tax us more for services that we are no longer getting.

Because they are closing the Department of Education, states will have to pick up the slack meaning higher property taxes for everyone.

Because they are cutting Medicaid, we will have to pay higher fees, copayments and deductibles to keep our hospitals from closing down. Especially rural hospitals.

Because they are gutting SNAP ( formerly known as food stamps) we will have to pay more in income tax to make sure our children get the food they need to thrive and grow.

And the rich? They will keep getting tax breaks, loopholes, and since there won’t be enough IRS Agents to audit them, and their businesses, they will continue to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.

That sounds fair to me. How about you? Does that seem fair to you??

Living Our Worst Possible Nightmare…

Another letter to the editor…

Many of us are living our worst possible nightmare ever. But most of us are feeling
nothing like the people around the world that were stripped of the USAID programs that
were so callously shut down without warning and the agency/department abolished,
solely because President Musk is butt hurt because Apartheid was abolished in South
Africa. And now Leadership wants the Whites to give some of their land to the Blacks to
equalize their economies. Whites who never lost anything (except maybe slave/cheap
labor) after Apartheid was ended but Blacks were still working like slaves for White
landowners. Musk’s been racist probably since before Apartheid ended. And we know
Trump was raised to be racist and won’t turn away from that. Just like it was in the
south after the Civil War.

“While many believe that the 13th Amendment ended slavery, there was an exemption
that was used to create a prison convict leasing system of involuntary servitude to fill the
labor supply shortage in the southern states after the Civil War. Black Codes regulated
the lives of African Americans and justice-involved individuals were often convicted of
petty crimes, like walking on the grass, vagrancy, and stealing food.  Arrests were often
made by professional crime hunters who were paid for each “criminal” arrested, and
apprehensions often escalated during times of increased labor needs.  Even those who
were declared innocent in the courts were often placed in this system when they could
not pay their court fees. Companies and individuals paid leasing fees to state, county,
and local governments in exchange for the labor of prisoners in farms, mines, lumber
yards, brick yards, manufacturing facilities, factories, railroads, and road construction.
The convict leasing fees generated substantial amounts of revenue for southern state,
county, and local budgets, and lasted through World War II (The Convict Leasing
System: Slavery in its Worst Aspects, June 17, 2021, Posted by: Ellen Terrell, Library of
Congress Blogs).”

The majority of Black and other People of Color – babies, children, and women, WILL
die of starvation because they cannot get the ONE MEAL a day that is keeping them
alive. Like the Black slaves being brought to the states from Africa died of lack of food
and too much labor. Just like the Jewish and Polish people died in the Concentration
Camps (as opposed to ‘death camps’) in Germany during WWII, the Hitler/NAZI War
on the people that he considered ‘inferior.’ While we, in the richest country on earth,
WILL allow THIS government, controlled by the 0.1 – 1.0% of the wealthiest people to
discriminate against the poor in other countries, just like they do the poor, the working
poor, and the working/middle classes in America. As a nurse, and as a human being,
this makes me sick to my stomach.

As a result of being denied medication that will keep them alive, the newborn babies will
now die at 2 -3 months of age, who through no fault of their own got HIV/AIDS at birth.
The children who are denied the same medication will get sicker and die prematurely.
The women/mothers who will die young, as a result of being denied medication that will
keep them alive, most likely, will leave young children at home. These women/mothers
who through no fault of their own, got the virus from their husbands. The husbands who
were simply selfish man-whores that started spreading the virus, they will die, too. The
children left behind, no problem, they will die of starvation or disease before long. But
not before immensely suffering.

As a result of not having immunizations and medication, children and non-vaccinated
adults will die of malaria, HIV/AIDS, measles, meningitis, pneumonia, tetanus, polio,
and other vaccine-preventable diseases. They will also die of and spread Ebola virus
without the sanitation needed to prevent the spread. These diseases will come to the
U.S. because of airplane travel, business leaders/owners who do not know they are infected will carry it to us. And because of people like RFK, Jr., who spread and will continue to spread lies about immunizations, young infants and children who have not been vaccinated WILL get sick and many WILL die from the infections they are exposed to and get. Diseases like Measles, RSV, Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus, Polio, and God only knows what other diseases that they will get sick and possibly die from, all of which are preventable, if children are vaccinated.

I am asking ALL those that voted for Trump, AND the Republicans in the House and
Senate, who do not have the backbone to stand up to Trump, or President Musk, for fear
of being primaried; is this what you voted for? Is this what you wanted? You are
culpable for ALL of this… Do you really want the weight of this on your shoulders?
BLOOD on your hands, on your hearts?

Another letter to my MOCs…

I am writing to express my STRONG, VERY STRONG opposition to H.R. 22, the so-called “Safeguard American Voter Eligibility” (SAVE) Act. While this bill is framed as a measure to combat VOTER FRAUD, which really is a HOAX (except for the fact that RFK, Jr. illegally voted in NY in the 2024 election. Oh, but that doesn’t count because he is one of Trump’s nominees). What it is, in reality, is a voter SUPPRESSION effort that creates unnecessary barriers to voting and disenfranchises MILLIONS of Americans.

The SAVE Act would require voters to present narrow forms of “documentary proof of citizenship,” such as a PASSPORT or BIRTH CERTIFICATE, to participate in federal elections.

This would disproportionately harm:

  • Up to 150 MILLION Americans, who do not have a passport. Just a passcard cost me
    $ 80.00 plus the cost of the drivers’ license. Many people cannot afford one. To renew it costs $ 30.00 plus the cost of the drivers’ license . The cost of a Passport book costs
    $ 130.00, with a passcard it is $ 160.00. I don’t know how much it is to renew.
  • Approximately 69 MILLION married, female citizens do not have a birth certificate with their current legal name on it. The reason being is that, unlike a social security card or a drivers’ license they are NOT updated when you get married and change your name, or get divorced and change your name, again. So, requiring that, just does not make ANY sense.

You have to present a birth certificate or social security card to obtain a drivers’ license. Social Security Cards are now processed at birth, as are birth cetificates. They have been for as many years as I have been a mother (48). I needed a birth certificate for when I got married. Mine got lost, or burned in a fire that my mom’s house suffered before she was able to finish moving to the U.P. I had to drive to Lansing with other supporting documents and pay $ 25.00 to obtain one. The fee for a state birth record is $44; senior rate (65+) is $24, in 2025, so even there it can be cost prohibitive.

-Elderly Americans, who are the least likely to hold passports. Do not necessarily have access to their birth certificate, and may not have the funds to pay for, or the ability to obtain, a birth certificate. When my grandmother had her house broken into all of my grandma and grandpa’s documents were stolen. I had to send to Alpena for her birth certificate (that was before everything was centralized to Lansing, at a much easier time). I had to send to Buffalo, New York to get my grandpa’s. I had to take her to the SoS to get her drivers’ license back. My grandpa was unable to drive anymore. But you see what I mean about it not being an easy thing for people to just do???

-Students away at college may not have access to their birth certificate and are unlikely to have a passport.

-Individuals who are handicapped may not have access to a birth certificate, the funds, or the ability to go to a place, where they can obtain one. Many of these individuals do not have a passport.

–Naturalized citizens are especially at risk under this bill. As the Brennan Center for Justice points out, bureaucratic mistakes and outdated records could render them ineligible to vote too.

Additionally, in 7 states, less than one-third of citizens have a valid passport – Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and West Virginia. Take note, all RED states.

The SAVE Act is a SOLUTION in search of a PROBLEM. Worse, it would erode the fundamental RIGHT TO VOTE, silencing the voices of vulnerable communities under the guise of election security. Rather than advancing harmful legislation like the SAVE Act, Congress should focus on protecting and expanding voting rights by supporting measures such as the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

One of the foundational values of our democracy is THE IDEA that every person is ENTITLED TO A VOTE – a say in the direction of our nation. I urge you and your colleagues to work towards that founding ideal. Not toward more ways to suppress the vote. That is being done enough through gerrymandering, dumping voter rolls, making people stand in lines for hours because of malfunctioning voting machines, or not enough voting machines, moving voting locations further away for Blacks, Indigenous Peoples, and other POC. Changing rules without notice. Changing Precincts without notice. Because you lose by a slim margin, trying to decertify 60,000 votes without cause or justification (N.C.). Basically suppressing the vote.

Dear Members of Congress…

“When fossil fuel and mining companies want to destroy Mother Earth for profit, they must go through federal review processes, including Tribal consultation when the extraction impacts Native lands and waters. But, when Donald Trump signed “Day One” executive orders declaring an “energy emergency,” he suspended some environmental regulations, undermining Tribal sovereignty and the ability for Tribes’ to reform or stop harmful fossil fuel extraction projects.” – Judith LeBlanc (Caddo) Executive Director, Native Organizers Alliance Action Fund

With this fake ‘energy emergency’ Trump can ignore practically all rules and regulations, treaties, environment studies and surveys, and all potential injury and harm that he can and will do to our people, and our planet. In other words, he can “Drill, baby, Drill.” Anyone, who is anyone, knows that we have been producing more oil that just about any country on earth, and have been for many years, without having to take away Indigenous People’s sovereignty. Without having to violate anyone’s civil rights. But Trump does not care for anyone but himself and his own authority and power. Why should he consult Members of Congress, for anything, when he can – with just one swipe of a pen – destroy everything in this country?

He plans to authorize drilling in Alaska and the waters around Alaska, even in the pristine Arctic regions. Forget that there are Inuit peoples that have lived there for millennium. Forget that these communities survive on ocean fish and mammals, and the animals that they hunt on land, and the fruit that they gather in the wild. If an ecological disaster happened, they would find it hard to survive. They just want to live in peace and beauty. But Trump knows better what they want. Of course, he does. He knows everything about so many things.

He plans to start establishing the holding facilities that will enable Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) to be exported. It will make people in the communities where these holding facilities will be built, sicker. This is, of course, always in places where people are already vulnerable, and poor. It will lead to increased cost to people at home, for heating fuel, but what the hell, at least the big wigs in BIG OIL will be raking in the money (which they will share with their CEOs and shareholders). Finally, it will lead to a worsening of the climate crisis conditions of our planet. But hey, it’s not going to effect us while we’re alive. Screw our kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. They can take care of it themselves.

By then it will be too late. 1.5 degrees Celsius. That’s all it has got to increase. I am praying that you will rein him in. Be the guardrail.

Pete Hegseth…

SPINELESS REPUBLICANS… Too afraid of Billionaire President Musk’s threats to ‘primary’ them, if they don’t give Trump everything he wants. Senator Joni Ernst I am really ashamed of you. You know better! Senator Tillis what were you thinking? Not voting against Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense. You know damned well that he is grossly unqualified. An alcoholic, a womanizer (He should get along really well with Trump. They are cut from the same cloth), possibly a rapist, even his mom said that he is abusive to women. It was the narrowest vote for an nominee for the DOD in a damn long time. They give their approval, consent, whatever they call it; they gave the job to Pete Hegseth!!!

I DISSENT! All I can say is Heavens help us. And if he fucks up, SPINELESS REPUBLICANS OWN IT!!! It will be their mess to clean up, IF we are still alive after WWIII. Or after Trump turns his militia and his military on American citizens. Tiananmen Square on United States soil. That’s what Trump wants… Hegseth said he will obey his Commander in Chief, good ole bone spurs, who does not know the first thing about the military. Calls our service men and women suckers and losers. What a F*CKING joke. I’d be laughing if it wasn’t so damned serious. I hope those that voted for him are happy with their choice. I just hope that they wake up in time. Before Trump and his MAGAs burn down all of our sacred institutions, from the inside out and along with it our Democracy, our Republic.

With all of the executive orders, the raids going on throughout the nation, trying to end birth right citizenship. A lot of people that I am communicating with on social media are getting very discouraged, and tired. That is their goal. If they keep throwing shit at us we will become confused on which is the most important thing to take action on, at any given point in time. They want us to become overwhelmed, enough to just give up. Say what’s the point?

Please. Don’t give up. That is what they want. Keep at them. Find out what their weak points are. For Mike Johnson, it is challenging his Christianity. Talk to their staff if you want to. Leave them voice messages after hours. I do better calling after hours, as I have phone anxiety with strangers. Write them emails. Every single day. Tell them that you are very disappointed in them for their actions. Always be respectful, but be honest with them. If they do something right, praise and thank them. Always be sincere and honest in your communication, but respectful. That is the hardest part.

I save my hostility for letters to the editor. Which I write VERY frequently. And post an article that you find along with your feelings about it on every social media platform that you are on. Anything to bring awareness to other people. We can no longer RESIST, that was for 2017. Now we must OPPOSE. We now have to be on the OFFENSE, we cannot do defense anymore. And while I love Michelle Obama, we cannot afford to go high anymore when they go low. We must get down in the mud with them and fight dirty.

Democrats need to get their act together. Congressman Hakeem Jeffries must get his Democratic caucus together and voting together, united. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi did it, and in high heels. Speaker of the House, Emeritus, Pelosi needs to take him aside and give him a good scolding. Straighten him out.

I guess I am going to keep plugging along. Writing letters to the editor. Writing and calling my Senators. And hopefully keeping up on writing these.

Save act/H.R.8281 and ACE Act/H.R.4563

I sent this as a letter to the editor and also to my two Senators… I am pissed off. The uber rich Republicans that are taking over our government and I’m not talking about just those who must have advise and consent. Not the Secretaries, but the Department heads are all increasingly being filled with Billionaires and Project 2025 authors.

The rich Republicans won’t be happy until none of us are allowed to vote. They are making it harder and harder for people to vote. Easier to be kicked off the rolls. Easier for them to block out access. Easier for people to object to 34,000 voters that they don’t even know and challenge their right to vote. If you don’t go to your City Hall, with the documents you need to prove that you are eligible, and have the Right to Vote, you won’t be allowed to vote. This happened in Georgia. They are also making it easier for them to screw us at election time, like they don’t do it enough the rest of the year.

I am writing because Congress is supposed to be passing two bills shortly that are going to affect the way we vote and the Republicans want to increase the difficulty for us when we vote, where we vote, and how we vote.

Save act/H.R.8281: This bill would disenfranchise millions of eligible voters with overly restrictive voter ID requirements, disproportionately impacting marginalized communities, including senior citizens, college students, people of color, and the disabled.

ACE Act/H.R.4563: This legislation creates new barriers to voter registration and participation, rolling back efforts to ensure fair and accessible elections while increasing the influence of billionaires and corporations in our democracy.

You can go to Congress.gov to learn more about these bills. Plug in the “HR#” and “the name of the bill”. On the first page there is a summary that you can read of listen to. On the second page is the actual language of the House Resolution. After you do that, call your Members of Congress both your Senators and Congress Member. Tell them why you do not support these bills. Follow that up with an email, and send them one, everyday until the vote takes place. Get your friends or organizations to do the same.

My husband and I are both retired, and I am disabled. I don’t want anything that will make it harder for husband or I to vote. I have children, and a granddaughter who go away to school, or work during the day with family obligations at night.  They should continue to enjoy early voting, mail voting and should be able to vote when they are away at school, WITHOUT difficulty. Voting should be easy in this country. We are not a third world nation, YET. We must Protect our right to vote!!!

Acting Justice Juan Merchan’s Trump Decision

I have heard repeatedly about the Trump sentencing on Dec. 10, 2025. I am so disgusted I wrote an email to him and sent it to the Court. I don’t know if he will get it. I sent it to the Editor of The New York Times, but I don’t know if it will get printed. I’m going to post it here and maybe to some social media sites. It won’t make me feel better, but at least I will know that I tried to do everything that I could to get my message out. I’ve tried to get other like minded people to do the same, but I don’t know if they will follow through. I hope that they do. but anymore it is a crap shoot. My email follows:

Dear Honorable Justice Juan Merchan,

I believe that your decision to let Mr. Trump off, with no consequences, is an unbelievably bad mistake. It is sending the wrong message to the people of this nation.

It tells us that there is definitively a two-tiered system of justice. One where the rich and powerful get away with everything and anything they choose to do. On the other

211222222222

1121212hand, where the poor and common person gets treated harshly, and is imprisoned, sometimes improperly, because s/he cannot afford bail.

A justice system where a rich and powerful man is free to come and go as he pleases while being tried, and while he is awaiting sentencing. And another system, where the accused innocent are imprisoned until trial, because they are not of means and hold no position of power.

A justice system, where the rich man is found to be in contempt of court, ten times, and gets a fine that he can easily afford. Whereas a common person, like me, would have immediately been removed from the courtroom and held in jail.

Your decision is a slap in the face, to those who went to prison for him, for helping him commit the crimes that he was found guilty of. Not just once or twice, but thirty-four times. Thirty-four felony counts of fraud that Mr. Trump committed. Michael Cohen did three years for him. Not just in jail, he went to prison. 

It’s a slap in the face, to the jury who had to listen to all the sordid details of Trump’s sexual encounter and his grossness. The hours of forensic accounting, of his record-keeping they had to endure. To their deliberations, as well as their decision to find him guilty, thirty-four times.

It’s a slap in the face, to the people of New York who had to pay for the trial and put up with the secret service agents, police, and inconvenience of traffic detours every day court was in session.

It’s a slap in the face, to WE THE PEOPLE of this great nation. It was not about the payoff of a porn star that kept being advanced. This was ELECTION INTERFERENCE, plain and simple.

It is likely that we were CHEATED out of the President we should have had, but for his deception and lying. That is wrong on so many levels. It is certain we would not have had to cope with the divisiveness that this country went through because of the 2020 BIG ELECTION LIE that he kept pushing and continues to double down on.

It’s a slap in the face, to those officers who died in the days, weeks, (months, and yes, even years later, from suicide) after the insurrection and attack on the Capitol. And to the over 140 officers who were brutally attacked and seriously injured by those individuals who were worked up and strongly encouraged, by Mr. Trump to go to the Capitol and “fight like hell.” 

Mr. Trump, who is an adjudicated insurrectionist, as determined by a Colorado Court and the Colorado Supreme Court. And SCOTUS, in Anderson v. Trump, only addressed the issue of whether, or not, Trump could be kept off the Colorado ballot. They said that he could not be kept off the ballot. They did not address his part in the insurrection, nor did they say that he was not an insurrectionist. Only that the States cannot determine whether an insurrectionist’s name can be kept off the ballot, at the Federal level.                                  

And finally, it is a slap in the face, to former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. Who, very likely, would have been elected as the first Woman President of the United States of America.

So, you see, this is bigger than you. This is about WE THE PEOPLE and what we believe should be done. Sentence him. Even if to the minimum time in prison, comparable to what Michael Cohen had to serve. Sentence him, and postpone the sentence, until Mr. Trump is out of office in four years. Sentence him to SOME serious consequence for his deceit, cheating, lying, and election interference.

Respectfully,

Peggy L. Van Sickle

Daily Letters to my Senators

How Do We Get Rid Of TRUMP?

I have been reading the work and watching YouTube videos of presentations that Constitutional Professors/Attorneys/Judges/Congressman from both sides of the isle where they have been saying that there is a way that we can get rid of Trump. Now! Keep him from taking office. Now! Based on what I been reading and viewing, I decided to write my Legislative Representatives in Washington, D.C. I have basically written just one letter. I am sending it (the same letter) to them every day. I may start calling them too. Can’t hurt… Anyway, my letter is below. You can use it, modify it using your own words, or ignore it…

“Dear Honorable Senator/Congressional Member,

Trump is disqualified from serving in any office. ESPECIALLY President of the United States of America. In the Colorado Supreme Court, and lower Court, both found him guilty of insurrection. In the case that followed, Trump v. Anderson, SCOTUS ONLY ADDRESSED whether Trump could be on the ballot, to which SCOTUS said he must be allowed to have his name on the ballot. They did not address whether, or not, that he is disqualified.

A majority of the court also ruled the section to be non-justiciable, and that only Congress can enforce Section 3, i.e. the courts (federal or otherwise) cannot declare a candidate ineligible for office under Section 3 unless an Act of Congress explicitly grants them that power.

The 14th Amendment is extremely clear. And is self-executing. Whether you are a textualist, an originalist, or whatever… SCOTUS says that IT is (at any given moment in time). Just read the words. Then read the last sentence alone, three times. Very clear. If you do not understand it by then, please speak to:

  1. Congressman Jamie Raskin. He is a Constitutional Professor, and Attorney.
  2. Ask Lawrence Tribe. He is an American legal scholar who is a University Professor Emeritus at Harvard University. He is also a constitutional law scholar. Tribe is co-founder of the American Constitution Society.
  3. Ask Prof. William Baude, who is the Harry Kalven, Jr. Professor of Law and the Faculty Director of the Constitutional Law Institute at the University of Chicago Law School. Prof. William Baude and Prof. Michael Stokes Paulsen say, specifically to the 14th Amendment, “The ban can be lifted only by a two-thirds vote by each House of Congress, according to the provision.”
  4. Ask Akhil Amar, of Yale Law School, who is a Sterling Professor of Law and Political Science at Yale University. He teaches constitutional law at both Yale College and Yale Law School. Amar is known for his work on the Constitution.
  5. Ask Mark Graber, who is a University System of Maryland Regents Professor at the University of Maryland, Francis King Carey School of Law. . He’s the author of many books and articles about constitutional law.
  6. Ask Michael McConnell, who is the Richard and Francis Mallory Professor and Director of Constitutional Law Center at Stanford Law School. He’s also a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and a former circuit judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit.
  7. Ask Michael Stokes Paulsen, who is the Distinguished University Chair & Professor of Law at the University of St. Thomas.
  8. Ask James Michael Luttig, who is a lawyer and jurist who served as a U.S. circuit judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit from 1991 to 2006.

There are others… These individuals are both left leaning, as well as right leaning. Yet, they have come to the same conclusion. Trump cannot be seated as President, as he is Constitutionally DISQUALIFIED, a result of being an adjudicated insurrectionist.

Here is the paragraph that is relevant:

14th Amendment. Section 3.

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Please, Senator (name), DO NOT allow him to be seated in office, ANY office, but especially the Office of the President of the United States of America (he is an adjudicated insurrectionist). He remains DISQUALIFIED!!!

Respectfully,”

I think it important that we at least try. I just can’t sit here and do nothing. I can still hear former First Lady Obama say, “DO SOMETHING!!!” When my three-year-old granddaughter asks me what I did during this historical and tumultuous time, I will be able to tell her, with all honesty, “ALL I COULD.”

Just thinking…

Children are going hungry in this country, they are living in their parent’s cars, and on the street. While there are CEOs, who are making 400-1000 X as much, as the average employee makes, are buying yachts and eating caviar. It is sickening. And now they have the richest man in the world making decisions on cutting OUR budget causing a near government shut down and telling us it is going to hurt for a while. Hurt who? Is he going to cut any of his government contracts??? F-ck no. He’s going to cut ALL of the safety net programs. And let more people and children go hungry, while having the debt ceiling raised, so they can go about extending the 2017 Trump Tax Scam. And then cutting the amount of taxes that they pay even more.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot??? WTF??? For those that voted for him (Musk) – Is that, what you guys voted for??? Is that, what you wanted? For more kids to be without health insurance, to be living in poverty, to be living in a car, to be going hungry? The MAGA GOP would not agree to extend the child tax credit, permanently, which had lifted millions of kids out of poverty (and then threw they back into poverty), because it COST TOO MUCH!!!

But they are going extend the 2017 Trump Tax Scam for the corporations, and the uber rich, that own them??? And also raise the amount of cash they get??? Then, the future occupant of the White House came out and said, even though he ran on being able to lower prices, that he was not going to be able to do that, now. It’s just too hard to lower them, once they have been increased for so long. Too bad about your luck, our lives are more important than yours. We need the tax scam more than you need money for groceries. We pay our employees somewhat fair. Our expenses are greater than yours are.

These companies and their owners are making billions of dollars in revenue and profits and now they – each of them – will be getting millions of dollars back in tax cuts. Will they lower the price of your groceries??? F-ck no. Will they lower the cost of heating fuel? electricity? gasoline? automobiles? other products? F-ck no. But they are going to get an EXTENSION of the 2017 Trump Tax Scam. Yet, children cannot get a child tax credit extension?. They are going to eat caviar, while you and your family, or a family you know, are going hungry?

Before, I asked, is this the type of world we live in? Now, I am making a statement, this is the type of world we live in.
