Trumps Tax Plan Just Gave The Flying Finger to Working Middle Class. Hint... That's Most of Us

Soooo .... Trump is cutting taxes for the RICH. 

So? You idiots voted for me....

And how do we make up for that lost revenue exactly?

Answers anyone? 

Does anyone REALLY think the rich will take that amazing windfall of a gift from their billionaire buddy to employ more people? Maybe a few will, but not enough to make any difference in the lives of every day people, and that means you, both liberal and conservative alike.

Or, do you think, given the DECADES of the historic, obscene profit taking by Americas's corporate class, that they might just possibly keep doing their whole greed thing? 

C'mon all you conservative Christians out there that voted for this devil incarnate .... WWJD? I mean that. Really.

Would he give tax breaks to  ....

a.) people who are struggling and may be suffering on some level physically, mentally or both, just to make ends meet.

or 

b.) already obscenely wealthy people, who only worship money and power for their own purposes.

It's true, you have to hire people to maintain all of your "stuff", so there would be some job creation. Servitude and all that court jester stuff would see a spike in the job market I'm sure.

And to be fair, if the working poor/middle class get the tax break, it's also a given that some may just buy some crack with their extra cash flow and give their singles to a few pole dancers. 

But then again ... so might the rich... they do love their coke & hooker parties! Can I get an AMEN!

So if you are worried that the poor would throw it away on crack, Mad Dog and dirty hoes... are you also worried the rich might use it on premium coke, champagne and high priced hookers? 

No????
 
The question remains... who do you side with when it comes to the new Trump tax plan? Who do you root for, vote for, support? Yourself or the1% that doesn't care about you on any level except how to use you.

Do you root for yourself and those in need, who might be in need for a whole host of reasons that has nothing to do with being lazy or being a bad person ... or ... do you root for giving breaks to people who literally worship power and money over all things? 

Tough choice? Let me try and sway you. 

If you are resentful of people who get help when they don't "deserve it" {welfare queens} why wouldn't that same logic apply to the rich who get corporate welfare? 

Who deserves the break? Well it depends on the circumstance. Depends on who and why and for what reasons. This requires intelligent thought. There may not be a simple answer. 

True, there are some welfare frauds out there taking money from the system in some kind of scam. That's easy enough to admit to because it's true. I know some. They exist. And it's not right and I don't endorse people who do this even if they are liberals.

But if we are talking dollars and cents and looking to stop the biggest scammers from draining us dry, nothing compares to the corporate welfare that exists in our country. Corporate welfare costs us way more than any welfare queens. 

And unless you are part of the richest 1%, why would you side with them when it comes to all of the issues us 99% er's face each day?

Why not side with the left on this issue of tax breaks? Isn't it to YOUR benefit to get the tax cut instead of the rich? 

No??? Still not buying it?

Well {deep sigh} maybe that's because your hatred of other people not like you, is far greater than your ability to know what is beneficial to your own life. 

When you allow hatred to become part of who you are as a human being, the problem with that is it blinds you to all other things, including the good things in life.

If it's your figurative internal desire to push people off a cliff  based on your bigotry, keep in mind as you push them to the edge, you are blindly walking towards the same cliff.

Don't allow hate and bigotry and especially Trump to blind you. If you do, that cliff edge ...is already underfoot. 

Peace Out ...

Who are the People in The Tea Party?

Ut oh... I am in real trouble now!!! Well, I won't shut up and neither will other Hippies like me.... cause it's my right to speak up... or are only People in the Tea Party allowed to speak? It's stuff like this that has me scratching my head. WHO are the people in the Tea Party? Isn't telling someone to shut up against our constitutional right? Can you imagine a liberal telling a Tea Party member to shut up... yikes!!! The Freedom of Speech issue would ignite faster then a Texas Barbecue!

Well, in keeping with my attempt at trying to understand who these people are, I came across this article from a site called Alternet where the author talks about the people who are aligning themselves with the Tea Party. It gives some perspective into who they are for the most part. It's a generalization, maybe a bit harsh, but a fairly accurate one in my opinion from what I have seen of the activity that goes on at many of their social sites on the internet.

This is a subject I have really been struggling with myself. I wanted to understand what makes them tick. I want to find how they differ from Main stream Republicans. When I came across this article, it really just crystallized it for me.

Are the Teabaggers Just Republicans in Denial?

What had eluded me all this time was a simple explanation. For the most part... people in the Tea Party certainly seem to be annoyed, angry, bitter people who are humiliated that they got their butts kicked by wimpy peaceful Democrats (AKA Hippies). They basically just don't want to align themselves with the losing side. They are... I am afraid to say... sore losers.

Take a look at their Mission Statement it seems harmless enough, but when you look at the discussions and the replies and the blog posts and the pictures they post of themselves... a clear type of person emerges.

These are people who want a Revolution and pepper their social site with images to bolster this state of mind. Images after all are worth a thousand words. Don't take my word for it... look for yourself...

There you will find a women who dresses herself in 1860's garb, countless pictures of Revolutionary & Civil War images, people in Tri-corner hats wearing Wal-Mart shirts made to look like the Flag, LOTS of pictures of guns, military planes, tanks, trucks, Swamp buggies (or trucks hopped up on steroids to go hunting in the woods for man eating deer and rabbit) pictures of signs about guns like the one above.

There are pictures of Obama in lots of nasty cartoons and mocked up images like this one.

Then we have the threatening ones with blood on swords like this one.



Not sure if you can see it but they have Obama... spelled oboma (Click on it to see a bigger image)

There's pictures of Jesus, and more stylized versions of the American flag that I ever knew existed...

And then there are clever shirts like this one. Funny, most liberals I know work... hmmmm... you know, people like those lazy ass Teachers and Social Workers, writers, poets, environmentalists, Professors of Law, scientists... you know the kind!

I could go on.... but you get the idea. Point being that these are not people looking for a solution to a problem.

They basically are PISSED and looking for someone to Blame!!! But if they want to point fingers... why aren't they pointing them at the guy who got us into the Debt we are in? We are paying those taxes you are fighting tooth and nail over cause of "W". Why don't you have one of your rallies on his Ranch?








America is about freedom and we all have the right to our beliefs and people in the Tea Party have every right to dissent.

But WHAT are they upset over? That's the real question. From the outside looking in... to me ... they look like people who don't want to live in a country where people help each other and no one is left out because of money or color or age, or disability or orientation. To me... people in the Tea Party are intolerance incarnate. Well good luck with that.... hope it all works out for you. Cause us Hippies ....feel a little differently.
