The news is out on the Trump’s tax cuts and…surprise, surprise – refunds for the middle class are down <\/a>and it appears the tax cuts only benefited the top 1% percent of Americans<\/a>. But how can this be? American CEO\/Dictator Donald Trump promised that every one would benefit. Could it be that Trump lied? Given that he’s gone over the 10, 000 lie mark<\/a> just over two years into his presidency, YES, OF COURSE HE LIED!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve commented before about how poor people view themselves as temporarily embarrasses millionaires <\/a>and are cajoled into voting against their own self-interests by right wing propagandists, like Fox News, blaming everyone else but the real culprits (plutocratic capitalists)<\/a> for their conditions. The scapegoats are always the same: minorities, people of color and people of different religions other than christianity – you know, people who are ‘different’. So these right wing, racist, conservative christians, although they are in the same boat financially as blacks, hispanics, other non-whites, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and atheists, will support politicians who create laws and policies that decimate the middle class and make their own lives even tougher. For example, the Trump administration has destroyed consumer protection regulations <\/a>which make it harder for Americans to stand up for their rights and easier for corporations to do whatever the hell they want with no repercussions. With higher insurance premiums and no voice to change them, we’re all getting screwed. But it doesn’t matter to the racist Trump supporters, because at least non-whites are not becoming better off than them. So much winning. . . for corporations and plutocrats!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump supporters, despite being in the same boat financially as non-whites, amazingly vote against their own self interest for Republican lackeys who adopt laws and policies which reward plutocrats handsomely while simultaneously sinking the middle class.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
