Watching
the Democrats’ death rattle of indignation against the GOP tax reform bill for
the last week or so has been amusing to say the least. At every turn they have knowingly lied that the
reform effort would hurt the middle class.
The day
before the House voted Crying Chuck Schumer tweeted:
Tomorrow, Republicans will have a chance to vote down the #GOPTaxBill, which is one of the least popular pieces of legislation in the last 30 years. If they do, they’ll find a Democratic party that’s willing to work with them on real, bipartisan tax reform.— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) December 18, 2017
One of the least popular pieces of legislation was
Obamacare that was jammed down the American people’s throat. It’s hard to put any faith in what he says. Schumer’s party shunned bipartisanship while
they crafted that disaster. Not a single
Republican in the House or Senate cast a vote for it. It was an unparalleled disaster and precisely
what put Donald Trump in the Oval Office and gave Republicans control of both
houses of government.
Scarcely
a December has gone by since 1843 in which a stage adaptation hasn't been
performed of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas
Carol. It’s always been a Christmas tradition
in my home. I chose a screencap from
Disney’s adaption to depict what Schumer must be feeling after the successful
passage of the bill. In it Jacob Marley,
Scrooge’s deceased business partner, now a chained and tormented ghost, is
damned to wander the Earth forever as punishment for his greedy, selfish and
uncaring attitude towards mankind.
The GOP tax plan is the Democrats’ worst nightmare. After a year of resistance against a duly
elected president, stone-walling Cabinet confirmations, slow-walking the
departure of Obama appointees and perpetuating unfounded rumors about Russian
collusion the Democrats are facing an emboldened President and Republican
Party.
After a year of stunning stock market gains and a reviving
economy Republicans will have an overabundance of good news to run on in the
2018 midterms and that, my friends, is Armageddon for the corrupt and flailing
Democrats.
“Under
this bill the working class, middle class and upper middle class get skewered
while the rich and wealthy corporations make out like bandits. It is just the
opposite of what America needs, and Republicans will rue the day they pass
this," Schumer said in a statement.
Who’s ruing the day now? Crying Chuck and his band of miserable
miscreants are now condemned to wander the halls of Congress and witness what they
cannot share.
The Republican tax bill caps the deduction for state and local taxes at $10,000. In 2015, more than 6 MILLION California households claimed the SALT deduction with an average deduction of $18,400. BOTTOM LINE: California families pay MORE so corporations pay LESS. #GOPTaxScam— Sen Dianne Feinstein (@SenFeinstein) December 16, 2017
Then maybe California should lower its taxes. https://t.co/gZcTnsnzhS— jon gabriel (@exjon) December 20, 2017
