Reagan sold us that bill of goods, it failed miserably. Bush sold us the same bill of goods, it too failed miserably. Now we're expected to believe that doing the exact same thing will have different results.

The median income in America for a family of 4 is $50K, and 50K/less will get a tax increase, not a tax cut

…cuts that go away are the least of your neighbor's problems.

They'll have kids in massive debt they probably can never recover from.

They'll have a sickly old age with little or no earned benefits—Social Security will be gone as well as Medicare.

The middle class is slowly being destroyed by rapacious Swamp creatures.
