is to eliminate taxes for the wealthy and corporations.
Sure they want to end Obamacare, make abortion illegal and end Gay Rights...
but the thing that drives them most is illuminating most taxes for the rich.
This is why the billionaires are sticking with this racist, anti-Semitic administration.
Why the GOP Congress is turning a blind eye to what Trump says and does.
Nothing takes precedence over taxes.

And the ignorant idiots who vote for them don't realize they are selling them out at every turn.

(5,810 posts)they never thought they'd get the sh*t storms they've gotten with tRump. In fact, I think, as they held their noses and started gleefully rubbing their hands together, they probably thought their dreams were coming true. They imagined tRump would be controllable so that his chief function would be to sign the documents giving them their laundry list of dream legislation.
Now that tRump has turned out to be a living nightmare, they struggle to figure out what to do now. Holding the proverbial tiger by the tail has proven to be much more difficult than they ever imagined. Will he bring the whole thing crashing around them? Or will they figure out a way to cut him loose and hope he scampers back into the jungle without harm to them?
They should all face consequences for their part in this assault on our national fabric. Whether that happens remains to be seen. I have a feeling we will be dealing with a lot more drama before we find out how this ends.

As I said, guess we'll have to see how this all plays out but it is for sure some of the minions must have cast iron stomachs to have hung on this long. And no ethics or morals whatsoever. A sad day for America.

Tax cuts or the military, fuck the deficit.
