jump, and report back as an undercover informant on their clandestine cross burning galas they conduct in the deep woods, but spare us the details about their manly naked mud wrestling competitions.

If you need any incentive beyond a daily dose of Trump's lies, nothing I can say will persuade

You could say the same about Democrats.

And now Ben Carson, who is the head of HUD, wants to raise rent on the poor. So maybe you should ask yourself what polices you agree with in the parties.
The Trump tax cuts will benefit 80% of taxpayers, not just "the rich."

Pretty much nails it. If you can look at the way the Republican leadership is selling themselves to their corporate masters and completely destroying the American middle class, and destroying our entire system of givernment to keep the Trump creature in office, and still seriously believe that a few million illegal immigrants are the biggest threat to our society then you're exactly the kind of voter the Republican Party is designed for - poorly informed and incapable of making complex, intelligent choices.

I’m not going to convince anyone of anything. I just choose to be a one-issue voter on the environment, because not only is it the most important issue and one which carries the longest-term implications, but it usually tells you who is bought and paid for by the oil companies and their lobbyists.

What you forgot to mention in justifying the Trump tax cuts is that proportionately--the richer you are,
the better you make out...
And the 20% that are not better off are people who make less than 200K

If your math contradicts what I have read--cite your sources...
Because I think the wealthy certainly do make out better under this tax plan...
