Why didn't the democratically-controlled Congress stop him, since they
controlled both houses?  Were they too afraid?

Yes, the same press, almost 90% of which voted for the clown presently in
office.  I wouldn't trust them to get ANY facts right.

That's four cents to you!!!

Ummm..... redo your math. 15% of the tax on $50,000 is a BIT more than $70.

The choice is clear... become a rich man!  Unfortunately, to Clintoon and his
cronies, anyone making over $60,000 is a rich man.  The class jealousy
embraced by the Democrat party is disgusting.  We should not penalize people
for doing well, despite what the liberals say...

But we already know where a Democrap's hands are-- in OUR wallets, thinking
that somehow, they can spend it better than we.
