You voted for a spoiled trust-fund baby turned entertainer / buffoon who's promised to cut my income tax rate, which through a magical process I don't understand is supposed to make your life better.

Ronald Reagan previously pulled this stunt in 1980. Has your life become tremendously better since then because income tax rates were cut by 2/3 on top earners? Reagan's tax scheme created the death of the Middle Class. He used a big chunk of your Social Security and Medicare taxes to subsidize income tax rates for me. Now the bill has come due and Vice President Pence and Congressman Paul Ryan are the architects of eliminating your Medicare and Social Security benefits. Are you happy yet?

Is the Middle Class enjoying that trickle down? We have a housekeeper from Honduras and gardener from Mexico. Maybe they'll hire you as a helper.

You sure showed me, and now I'm going to have to accept a reduction in the amount of taxes I pay. You win the stupidest man in the room award, hands down.

I sure hope you know what you're doing and enjoy the kick in the face you voted for, because you're going to receive them in abundance.

You probably know the saying: New Boss, same as the old Boss.

Why? Because the new boss is subject to all of the same constraints and problems the old boss was.
