I wish that I were kidding.
Locally, here in the Rust Belt, Trumpers have been saying for months that Trump's policies may make things tough for them personally, but they "have faith" that he's doing what's best for the country, and he wouldn't have to do it at all if "Barry HUSSEIN Obummer" hadn't left him such a disaster.

(40,168 posts)You were on Frontline a few weeks ago beating your chest in support of Donald Trump and Scott Pruitt rolling back all the crucial environmental protections that benefit all Americans. You were doing handstands because the laws and regulations were being shitcanned to benefit your filthy coal business. I could barely finish watching your gleeful rants without .
Fuck you, pal - I hope you go broke because of Trump and the GOP.

(35,354 posts)won't have to pay any tax after all their write offs. The Senate plan keeps the alternative minimum tax so he will have to pay at least 15% , I think. So in otherwords if he has
to pay any tax it will break him.

Exactly how would a percentage of income wipe someone out? By definition, there is something left, unless that percentage is 99.9% or higher.
On Edit: And, it's not taxing existing wealth. Only that year's income. This is a flat out lie. By a very stupid man.
