The Republicans passed their tax cuts. |
The Republicans in Congress have just passed The Jobs and Tax Cuts Act.
The controversial bill was rushed through Congress and passed solely on partisan votes. The 1,000 bill was not even given proper committee hearings and yet the Republicans want to get a victory. They didn't even read the goddamn bill. They handed it off to members and told them they have til Tuesday to vote.
This is the biggest achievement in an otherwise lackluster first year of Donald J. Trump. The bill will be signed into law as soon as Wednesday afternoon.
The bill is very unpopular with the American public. They believe it favors the rich and corporations. The De ocrats warned that this tax cut will put $1.5 trillion to the national debt, disrupt the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate and open up drilling in Alaska's protected lands. It will give short term tax cuts to the middle class. It will offer little benefits to those who make less than an average living wage.
The bill will also reduce the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.
This could be a huge giveaway to the rich.
Republicans are deeply unpopular. They may have put their majority at risk of being ousted from power.
There are bigger issues that Republicans ignored. Puerto Rico, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Mississippi, and the U.S. Virgin Islands have hurricane damages so catastrophic, it will take almost $345 billion to fix these areas.
Wildfires have destroyed California, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Idaho.
Congress isn't moving fast on emergency aid.
Mass shootings are happening everyday. Congress ain't doing anything about this.
The economy is doing fine. Why pass something that might disrupt the economy?
The Republican Party has once again fucked the economy up and yet they will blame the Democrats once again for the messes they create.
Tax cuts won't fix infrastructure. It won't put food on the table.
It will help greed and will squeeze taxpayers in the long haul.
