We've been running under Obama's economy: good stock market, low unemployment

THERE. IS. NO. GOOD. ECONOMIC. REASON. to lower corporate or billionaire taxes right now. NOT. ONE. Except the billionaire Republican owners and donors WANT. ALL. THE. MONEY. FOR. THEMSELVES.

The disastrous tax cut/social-program-gutting/healthcare-gutting/environment-destroying/christo-fascist/middle-class-punishing/poor-pounding/education-destroying/housing-market-torching pile of SHIT the fucking Republicans are ramming through at the behest of the Kochs, Adelsons, Princes and other US billionaires and the Great Corporations who believe they are SO ULTRA SPECIAL they shouldn't have to pay taxes -- WILL. DRIVE. THIS. ECONOMY. INTO. ANOTHER. GREAT. DEPRESSION.

Honestly, if you're not at least 85 - you. have. no. idea. what HELL this is going to be.

People never learn. They can't remember past the past 5 minutes much less the past 50-80 years.

The thing DESTROYS. EVERYTHING. the poor and middle class have gained for the past 80 years.

WE. ARE. FUCKED.

I hope to God that all the dumbass "well Hillary is just as bad" and Trump voters get their fucking financial clocks cleaned with this shit and EVERY. TIME. they complain, someone asks if they didn't vote in 2016 or voted for TRUMP -- because THOSE PEOPLE are why we are all going to be financially circling the Great Shithole within the net 10 years. If you THINK you are going to retire during or after that time - YOU'RE. NOT. Unless you're a millionaire or billionaire. So good luck with all that.

This tax bill is straight out of 1929, according to one expert on what led to the Great Depression: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/posteverything/wp/2017/11/30/im-a-depression-historian-the-gop-tax-bill-is-straight-out-of-1929/?utm_term=.687c7b5e85ec

Guess WHAT? We're going right back to that on the fast train. The TRUMP train.

Just DO NOT FORGET what party was in control when it happened. SAME ONE AS LAST TIME. Republicans.

W's fiasco was successfully blurred into Obama
They've wiped out where Obama started his term
There was no recovery
We're only minutes away from soup kitchens
Etc

Keeping interest rates at 0% for almost 8 years is what we're seeing today.
