Okay let's figure this out

If billionaires with large yachts, chauffeur driven limousines, mansions, wives, husbands, boyfriends, girlfriends, stock options, bitcoins, the list goes on, how horribly will they suffer if TACOs tax cuts aren’t approved? Will it be catastrophic? Will they have to shop for themselves, drive themselves, wash their own clothes. Oh the horrors. Imagine the suffering. If multibillionaires don’t get a permanent tax cut. Gosh, they may have to move out of the country. A tear trickles down the cheek of this Veteran.

Loopholes and benefits built in to their businesses but paying a fair share is too much of a burden. These billionaires have enjoyed and profited from all these years of tax breaks and to wean them off of this unfair advantage is not even a consideration in the bills before congress.

Are very comfortable, don’t want a tax cut, are able to give charitably and do regularly, take the standard deduction, and unlike magas, we are happy. But we don’t love stupid people who vote. In many charming ways I’m a dumbass, but I WOULD NEVER VOTE FOR A REPUBLICAN. Because I love my country and the Constitution I swore to support and defend.

And now the tax is coming due .
Tax cuts would never had been proposed then , and the Pisswig’s promises of cuts helped get him elected .
If they don’t come through , they will abandon him .
Will they suffer ? Hell no … they’ll still get insane profits .
They do not like taxes .

Taxes are for little people

I like taxes. Every time I see the supply truck back into the food pantry, every time I read the local hospital report about Medicare expenditures, every time I see the meals on wheels car drive around town, every time I drive on paved roads, every time I see the city guys mowing the lawn or fixing pipe breakages, every time I see American Flags on Main Street or at the local cemeteries, every time I swing by our local library to peruse their great product, every time I read about a military operation involving our future veterans, every time I look at the medical bills my wife’s recent stay in the hospital produced I LIKE TAXES. Go Ahead republicans try to get ME to vote for YOU.

It’s supposed to be a comedy but frankly it’s more like a horror movie. It’s somewhat related to what you’re talking about…

It's a disease and an abomination.

And the national religion.



And what do "religious" leaders say?

GIMME MORE PRIVATE JETS.
