The tax hikes will hurt small business and corporations who provides jobs the most. There is a reason why the unemployment is 3.9% and mostly due to the Trump tax cuts.



Another myth is that tax cuts creates a deficit but the graft below proves other wise.

Just barely? I earn $60k/year; which is over twice the median individual income in my county; I'd say I'm doing pretty well....

True.

Taking money from people as "Federal taxes", and then spending it on things not authorized by the Constitution, is stealing.

30 million would be 10% of the population, 10 million would be 3.33% And since the vast majority are working low paying jobs they are a HUGE factor in suppressing minimum wage. Open your eyes.

Don't get me wrong-Obama was a terrible president and did plenty to harm this nation. But AOC takes stupid to an entirely different level. Look at the bright side-we have entertainment for a couple years...and it will beat seeing Maxine's face on the screen as the dumbest person in congress.



I'll concur


You just have to respect all that intellectual fire power of Today's Democratic Party
