Calling A Tax Reform Spade A Spade

I MAY ONE DAY receive from Harvard an honorary doctorate in neophytic economic hypothesizing. Other than that, I have little hope of formal credentials. I've had exactly one (1) undergrad economic class, for which I received a "C". Still, I'm smart enough to see that only twenty five percent of we the American people approve of the tax bill currently on the verge of being passed by our conservative congress. Some call it tax reform, Trump calls it tax cuts and a totally terrify oh so cool /Christmas present for the American people, credible economics and other discerning people call it a charitable contribution to the very wealthy. Another possible name is "The Top One Percent enrichment Act of 2017". Trump is so great a grandstander that he is actually prevaricatingly claiming that all his wealthy friends, of whom, he reminds us, he has many, are angry at him, presumably for stiffing them in favor of the working poor and middle class. More Trump rubbish, Piled Higher, and Deeper. A doctorate of deception. It is amazing that anyone would any longer believe anything that the prevaricating president spews, and most likely nobody does, other than the diehard right wing nationalistic sycophants who voted for Trump through sheer anger and ignorance of their own interests. Equally amazing is the earnestness with which the republican party promulgates policies demonstrably unpopular with the American public, by virtue of their being demonstrably inimical to its interests. Refusal to address climate change, refusal to support, repair, and strengthen Obamacare; you name it, the more we the people want to have it done, the more the grand out of touch party refuses to do it. Dynamic scoring, a system which conservatives tend to love to use to predict the probably effects of tax cuts for the wealthy because dynamic scoring tends to maximize the growth potential of trickle down economics, trickle down economics being a demonstrable fraud, tells us that the tax bill, if enacted, heaven forbid, will raise the federal deficit by at least a trillion dollars. Even the tools of the right wing trade are turning against them.so, there is yet hope that one or two republican Senators will retain their sense, and do what is right for the American people: scuttle this abominable bill in the swirling waters of the historical toilet.
