13. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A TAX BREAK

Wow. What don't you get? Have you been following the news?

The deficit doubled. The Debt has increased and is projected to increase for the next 10 years. This was touted as a middle class tax break.

When it was a $20 a week increase for the average wage earner, the fucking Republicans were rolling out teachers getting a new car and nurses getting new refrigerators with Trump's new raise for them.

Everyone thought they were getting raises from the government. Then, their $1,000 refund evaporated because the raise wasn't a raise at all, but a reduction in withholding with the bill coming due this year. People didn't think they were breaking even and doubling the deficit, they were told they were coming out ahead.

Get it? The middle class DIDN'T GET A RAISE OR A TAX BREAK. They bribed them with their own money. So, the tax break went to wealthy corporations, estate tax elimination, reduction in taxes for the wealthiest Americans, a deficit increase, and we got shit on a stick, and now they want the stick back.

Get it now?
