Both Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio have indicated that the tax plan is just the first step in the Republican plan to destroy our earned benefits. They will use the deficit they are creating as their excuse to try and destroy Medicare in the New Year.
They don’t care that the tax scam will trigger $400 billion in automatic cuts to Medicare over 10 years. All they care about is handing trillions in tax breaks to their wealthy campaign contributors and paying for it by cutting critical programs for older Americans, working families and people with disabilities.
This bill further enriches real estate developers like Donald Trump who use so-called “pass-throughs” to avoid paying their fair share of taxes. Trump’s tax rate will drop from 40% to 29%.
This is the ultimate example of Republicans clinging to their special-interest trickle-down economic theory, which does nothing to raise the wages of working people.

It's incredible, isn't it? They actually publicly admit - verbalize it - and their poor and middle-class lemmings follow them blindly anyway. We must all work, not toward changing Republican minds but getting people of color out to vote. They have to be convinced they have power - look what they accomplished in Alabama!
