IN REALITY, their only aim is to control this nation for the richest 1%. They want low taxes and the ability to pay working class citizens dirt with no benefits. They want to overtax us and control how that money is spent. and you can bet your ass not a dime of it will be spent on "entitlement programs" aka medical that you need to survive. It's 2018. It's time for sheep like you to wake up and take a stand against the wealthy oppressors that couldn't care less if you and your loved ones live or die.

Explain why it didn't work during the Bush years? The middleclass? What middleclass? It no longer exists. In today's America, you're either rich or you're struggling. The theory that giving multibillion dollar corperations tax breaks will somehow create job growth is flawed. It doesn't account for corporate greed. Why has the cost of living been steadily rising, but the minimum wage hasn't? Why hasn't it fluctuated with the worth of the dollar? Why are CEOs making millions while most average workers are forced to rely on government assistance? Explain.

@@christianseroian4303 Why is fox news(clearly marked as entertainment not actual news) the only non-fake news? Could it be because they're the most biased nonsense around? Could it be that they're the only ones that fail to mention the blatant scumbaggery occurring within the repugnantcan party? These idiots are the ones that wanted you to know that Obama was a foreign born Muslim with terrorist ties that would surely be the end of this nation if he got 8 years in office. They are the only ones around that would pull out of new 'Killery' story to deflect each time Trump did or said something disgraceful and ignorant. The repugnantcan party is the corporate party. They represent the interests of the 1% and they used people like you to remain in power.
