>> I'm not saying everybody will die, but I think the damage that Trumps four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will do to this country and the world can be considered doom. You cannot know how relieved I am that not everyone will be dying when Trump takes office. I'm sorry it is still doom, though.

>> Remember it was Ronald Reagan, that started the decline in the middle class when he made huge tax cuts for the rich, reduced rates from 70% to 28% and at the same time increased taxes on the working and poor by taxing Social Security Koan, You are very confused. Not only did Reagan's action SAVE Social Security, which was broke, but the taxation of SS benefits targeted HIGHER INCOMES ONLY. Which meant that a significant portion of the burden was placed on higher earnings workers ONLY. The very things you advocate.
