Do working folks get a tax reduction when the Republicans finish
gutting the EPA, social programs, social security, medicare and medicaid? If the government saves that money, shouldn't it come back to us since we'll have to step up and take care of the homeless, elderly and sick? Exactly what do the Republicans think will happen to all the people who lose their lifelines? Do they think they'll just disappear?

1. Look. Federal taxes go down marginally, local taxes go up substantially.
That's how it works. You will NOT end up with a net reduction in taxes. (unless you make over $1,000,000 a year)

2. Nope because the wealthy will be tapping the till at at state and local
level to keep the good times rolling for themselves. And we are the ones who will disappear...people who are elderly, poor, ill, without resources or opportunity.

3. unfortunately the Ryan plan is loaded with tax cuts
for the rich. That's what makes it so insulting. It claimed to be a budget balancing proposal, but it includes big tax cuts for the rich.

4. Absolutely not - the military industrial complex will need more for
the eternal wars.
