Tax Plan gives $520 Bilion to WEALTHY FOREIGNERS

"It will give billions to foreign investors at the expense of middle-class Americans.

...Foreigners will see more money than all middle-income households in the United States combined. That’s because foreign investors now own more than $6.5 trillion worth of U.S. equity and investment fund shares, and about 35 percent of all U.S. corporate stock, according to data from the Tax Policy Center. The GOP plan will lower corporate tax rates to 20 percent, benefiting foreign investors at the cost of at least $52 billion each year, or $520 billion over the next decade.

We're going to have to borrow that money back from somebody, since the government is already running a big deficit.

Wonder where the Newsweek report found the $4 Billion difference?

A billion here, a billion there can add up to real money.

Sorry for joking about something that is this serious, when millions of Americans are going to be suffering and dying because of the sacrifices they are must make. It's all so damn and unbelievably cruel!! These Republicans are heartless psychopaths.

They loan us a few trillion. Any doubt they have some pull in our government?

Do the Saudi's still own Citibank?

Their red line appears to be anything that appears to help non-whites or "foreigners."
