And another truth from Robert Reich.....

The richest 1% will get $117 billion in tax cuts this year, thanks to Trump.

That’s more than the combined budgets of eight federal agencies, including the Department of Education and the EPA.

Meanwhile, the bottom 95% will see their taxes increase.

It’s clear who he governs for.

Dems gotta start using these stats during EVERY advertisement used in this election season!!!!

JUST DAMN. 🤬 🤬 🤬

The most I hear is "he promised to lower prices and they went up instead". If the Repunks have any success in lowering prices the next 2 years, that advantage is gone. The tax cuts for the wealthy should lead the conversation every time.
