***BREAKING BULLETIN FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE !!! ***

Your country cannot withstand one more huge taxcut, like Donald Trump is proposing, that will add another $13 TRILLION DOLLARS of debt. It will destroy our nation.

Are you listening??

I understand it! The effective tax rate for someone like Mike Pence is a measly 8%.

So he made over $100,000 and only paid $8000.00

Hillary hit the nail on the head, more need to pay thier fair share!

Cheetos ideas about cutting taxes and bankrupting much needed programs like SNAP, TANF and WIC are dangerous.

If Cheeto bankrupts the government with his tax breaks, these poor people could be forced out into menial farm jobs, taking them away from even poorer undocumented workers, just so Cheeto can make his rich friends even richer.

Yes, that's for real. The ENTIRE debt of the U.S. Treasury paid off by 2009.

What happened? You figure it out. What happened between 2001 - 2009, when we amassed $12T in debt, when all the saving to pay it off had been built in!!!

Need a refresher? Scroll do down near the bottom of the list of Bill Clinton's NARA list of accomplishments:

Paid off $360 billion of the national debt...We are now on track to pay off the entire debt by 2009.
https://clinton5.nara.gov/WH/Accomplishments/eightyears-01.html

Look no further into a crystal ball of Hillary's list of accomplishments in 8 years and your tax burden may be near zero. Ponder that!
