Republicans say tax cuts pay for "themselves"... Who are, or what is, "themselves"?

Well its obvious, "themselves" are Wealthy Americans Themselves! (or reptilians formerly called the 1%).

Themselves pay campaign contributions to the Republicans that are... PAID BACK 10x in TAX CUTS.

Themselves pay for investments in government debt (to finance the tax cuts) that earn interest and are... GUARANTEED TO PROFIT AGAIN FROM THE TAX CUTS.

(yes, wealthy Americans hold more IOU's than Chinese)



So to summarize: Themselves contribute to Republicans who then pass tax cuts where Themselves keep billions not paid as taxes (at much lower rates than we pay) and then use those billions to buy the same debt that paid for the tax cuts and finally make additional profit off the debt interest.

Some thoughts on how this is INSIDIOUS:
1. We don't fight back appropriately because the pain is felt by our children not by us
2. Themselves children will keep their parents billions
3. Our children will borrow from Themselves children for student and consumer loans
4. Themselves children will continue to profit from the interest paid by our children.
