TRUMP theme song

Carly Simon -- You're So Vain

I have been running some numbers...more numbers.....adding more numbers

Single making $40,000 per year for 2017 and 2018

tax bill for 2017 would be $3488
tax bill for 2018 would be $3360
$128

less than $2.50 per week...........such a HUGE windfall


Married couple making $60,000 (medium income). 2017 taxes. $60,000 minus $20,800 equals $39,200. $1905 (10%) plus $3023 (15%) total $4928 for 2017. $60,000 minus $24,000 equals $36,000 times 12% equals $4320 for difference of $608. Better. Less than $11.75 per week. Another huge windfall.

Married With Children. With 7 children because Tom thinks everyone should have 7 children. Making $90,000. $90,000 minus $12,700 equals $77,3000 minus $28,350 equals $48,950. $1905 (10%) plus $4485 (15%) equals $ 6390 2017 tax bill. $90,000 minus $24,000 equals $66,000 times 12% equals $7920 2018 tax bill. Difference of +$1530. Adding in the child tax credit for 2017 would reduce the tax bill to $0. For 2018 the tax bill would be $0. Nothing gained from the new tax cut.

Trump company signs another deal with foreign developer and breaks another Trump promise

https://www.rawstory.com/2017/12/trump-company-signs-another-deal-with-foreign-developer-and-breaks-another-trump-promise/


MNC Land, a Trump Organization partner, entered into a preliminary agreement with Posco E&C Indonesia on the first phase of development of a luxury resort, reported McClatchy.


South Korea’s public pension fund owns 10.88 percent of Posco, according to an independent auditor’s report, and the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority owns 2.38 percent.

The president promised before his inauguration that Trump Organization had agreed not to engage in any new foreign deals or new transactions with a foreign entity, and he placed his holdings in a trust he can draw on for his “exclusive benefit” at any time.

McClatchy previously reported in September that a major construction company owned by the Chinese government was awarded a $32-million contract to build a six-lane road for the Trump World Golf Club Dubai project.

I have a question

They talk about trickle down economics. Just wait and you will get yours.

Why should the masses of Americans have to settle for the left overs??
This country belongs to the people, not the corporations and the wealthy.

Tax Bill Has No Text

No one has read the tax bill because it is not written yet.
Largest redistribution of wealth ever in the history of this country and no one has read it

Letter I am thinking of sending my congress critters .... too much??

11-28-2017
TO: Al, Amy, Tom
RE: Destruction of America

Open letter to all three of you.

As I sit here in Minnesota in the early morning hours, I look around me and see the strength of this state and country. However, when I listen to the news and surf the internet all I see is Trump and his minions trying to destroy what others have built. I see them trying to bring about the king and serf era back again. Four families have the wealth of 160 million Americans. The .01 percent own as much as 304,000,000 Americans. Something is wrong.

The FCC wants to get rid of net-neutrality. Why would they want to do this? Because they want to make it harder and more costly for consumers, is the answer. The air waves belong to the American people, not the corporations. This is something that most politicians forget. It was individuals that forged this country, not corporations. This country belongs to the people, not corporations. Corporations do not qualify as a person. The Citizens United decision was a farce.

Now evil Trump wants to destroy the CFPB. Basically he is saying that the American people do not need protection from corporations. I mean, just because Wells Fargo opened 12 million bogus accounts and charged their customers for these, it was just a small mistake. Jamie Diamond says he is just doing gods work so we should trust him. Corporations exist to make money, they do not care about their employees nor their customers. Trump only cares about his brand.

I am sick and tired writing e-mails to my congress people and getting no reply or a reply that is just full of lies and standard party bull. Call an office and hear, “I am not allowed to answer any questions.” I deserve better. That is what your office does Tom. You hearing this Tom? Tom here supports the racist and bigot Trump. Tom writes me and tells me Trump is working hard for me, and says he is working along side him. As I sit in Minnesota, I see nothing that you fools have done to make my life better.

A new Tax Reform and Jobs bill sits before us. Trickle, trickle, trickle. Been tried before and it did not work. I am told it will create jobs. If it will create jobs, there should be a list of jobs and a guarantee. Tom, Al, Amy you reading this? All this Tax Bill does is take money from the bottom and put more to the top. Smoke and mirrors. Doubles the personal exemption, so I am told. It does not. I have proof that Trump will get a $3 BILLION tax break per year. Tom, want to prove me wrong?

I am sick and tired, pissed and angry. You all work for me. You all took an Oath of Office to uphold the Constitution. Part of that Constitution gives ME the right to petition the government with my grievances. You are part of that government. I have grievances and you do answer me. I look upon that as YOU violating your Oath of Office and in violation of the Constitution. In my world that makes you a traitor to me and the American people.
