    Ah, yes. The plans laid out by the ultra wealthy bear fruit. We blame and shame each othe while they pay no taxes! Mr. Burns would be proud.

    Remember that just five years ago, Trumpcsigned a tax bill that gave the wealthiest amongst us a collective two trillion dollar tax cut that cost me the home interest and local tax deductions i depended upon. My crime was living in a “blue state”.

      In addition, the only party with a serious bill proposed to expand Social Security is the Democrats, which would be paid for by raising the cap where taxes are currently paid on only the first $147,000 of earnings. Republicans plan to sunset and privatize all of our benefits, throwing the elderly into poverty just so Wall Street can skim a few billion off the top.
