Who does little Marco say is the leader or brains behind this plan ? Crying Chuck who he has been palling around with ?

Something smells FISHY here ALRIGHT. A column from the liberal L.A. Times with nothing in quotes and a photo of Rubio with cotton mouth.

They are tricky about cuts to Social Security and Medicare. They stage the cuts for future recipients so they can leave the current recipients alone, because they don't want to mess with the old people that vote. They'll get people 55 and under and cut their future benefits.

This year I heard my US Representative(R) say that he supports cuts to Social Security Retirement Income for those 55 and under.

The GOP has been wanting to cut Social Security and Medicare for decades. That's why Paul Ryan kowtows to Trump. Ryan wants to cut our Social Security and Medicare and he knows that Trump will be happy to sign the bill as long as the Republicans kiss Trump's ring.

My taxes won't be going up. And I'd almost bet the OP's won't be going up either. Troll thread.

We live in a civilized society today with lower taxes, so why raise them. I pay enough in federal income taxes. This GOP tax plan will increase my taxes.

Up next they're planning to cut our Social Security Retirement income, which will take more money out of the pockets of the middle class.

All this to pay for "tax cuts for billionaires". That's what you get when you vote GOP.

I will get more of a tax deduction. Less taxes to pay under the Trump tax plan.

No, it is not. It's a legitimate question, and I bet most people don't know the answer.
