Dear Congressional Republicans... GIVE UP extending the 2017 tax cuts for the obscenely rich, [View all]

and ONLY extend them for people who actually need that relief!
( perhaps only for those with yearly incomes below $200,000, for instance, but we can debate that figure)
((although if I had an income of $200,000 I wouldn't need tax relief either))

Such an action would immediately make your BBB much more fiscally responsible,
and you all have falsely claimed that you are devoted to "fiscal responsibility"
(except when a Republican is in charge)....

Also, try a little less to cut off food and healthcare from the less rich----
otherwise they may attempt to eat the more rich, due to their high fat content
(and all recent experiments about "work requirements" have proven to COST MORE
than any money they might have 'saved' )

Such actions would surely help you mitigate the upcoming OBLITERATION
headed towards you in the 2026-28 elections---

but 'good advice' is often ignored, and I realize that you didn't ask for mine---
Hell, without supreme confidence that you would ignore good political sense,
I might not have posted this at all

In my humble opinion, you Republican politicians are headed headlong
towards an American re-enactment of the French Revolution,
like lemmings over the cliff---

so "heads up"
