Trump Voters Stand to Lose Big Under Trumpcare

https://politicalwire.com/2017/03/09/trump-voters-stand-lose-trumpcare/

"SNIP..........


CNBC: “Exit polls showed that just 10 percent of Trump’s votes came from Americans earning $200,000 or more. Yet those voters would derive all benefits from the repeal of the two individual tax hikes targeting them: a 0.9 percent tax on their earnings, and a 3.8 percent tax on their investment income.”

“An even smaller group, the top 1 percent of earners, would receive an average tax cut of $33,000, according to the Tax Policy Center. The top 0.1 percent of earners would receive an average tax cut of $197,000.”

“But half of Trump’s votes came from white voters without college degrees. And those less-affluent voters stand to lose in multiple ways if Congress rolls back Obamacare in favor of the House GOP plan.”

Then the Rethugs will tell them that their churches will take care of their health needs, or their neighbors will take up a collection.

A lot of them had a creepy look of fawning adulation. They appeared as if transfixed by the vision of a divine being.

They actually thought that this rich asshole cared about them.

Will they figure it out as they go to their (premature) graves?

What a bunch of dumbasses.
